Laurent Ferrier’s founders, Laurent Ferrier and François Servanin, have labelled the Sport Auto “a tribute piece to the extraordinary adventure that we experienced as young men.”
“In watchmaking as well as during our many racing adventures, I have always been very attentive to the slightest sensations,” Mr Ferrier said. “Just like the vibrations of the steering wheel, the roar of the engine, the screeching of the tyres, the heat of the leather of my gloves or even the intensity of the speed keeping me firmly in my seat, our Sport Auto had to arouse true emotions.”
The exterior of the Sport Auto sees rounded curves enlivened by a few counter-curves outlining a bodywork with a perfectly balanced design. The case comes in grade 5 titanium and measures 41.5 mm in diameter.
The bezel displays a circular satin-brushed finish that contrasts with its mirror-polished flanks as well as with the vertical satin-brushed middle case.
The Laurent Ferrier ball-shaped crown is, for the first time, screwed down and integrated into the middle case. This screw-down crown, combined with water resistance tested to 120 metres, aim to guarantee maximum comfort for daily wear.
