Name: Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Bronze LCF016.BR.E14.1
Brand: Laurent Ferrier
SKU: LCF016.BR.E14.1

The Galet Square Bronze is Laurent Ferrier's cushion-case dress watch in bronze: a guilloché or enamel dial, in-house calibre, and a case shape that sits between the round Galet and the more angular sport references. Production runs are smaller than the Classic Origin, which means this reference is harder to find and commands attention from collectors precisely because it is scarce.

What it is

The Galet Square draws on the tonneau and cushion-case tradition that was central to Swiss watchmaking in the 1970s. Laurent Ferrier's interpretation is thoroughly contemporary in its finishing and movement quality while referencing that historical case vocabulary. The bronze case option arrived as collector appetite for patina materials expanded in the mid-2010s.

Guilloché dials on the Galet Square are hand-executed, which adds to the production time and exclusivity relative to the printed dials in the Classic Origin line.

Buying notes

Finding a Galet Square Bronze for sale is itself the primary challenge; this is not a reference that appears regularly on secondary market platforms. When examples do appear, provenance verification is essential: the combination of bronze case and hand-finished dial makes condition assessment critical and photos alone are insufficient. The cushion case proportions suit some wrists and look awkward on others; fit is harder to evaluate remotely than a round case.

Market read

Retail pricing for the Galet Square Bronze is in the CHF 30,000 to 45,000 range depending on dial specification. Secondary-market examples surface through specialist auction houses and vetted dealers rather than volume platforms. The scarcity is genuine rather than manufactured: Laurent Ferrier does not make many of these, full stop.

For the right collector, the combination of case shape, material, and movement pedigree is compelling; for everyone else, the Classic Origin or Sport Auto is the more rational entry.

Service expectations

Service path is identical to the rest of the Laurent Ferrier lineup: in-house calibre, Geneva service center or authorized agents, brand-specific parts. The enamel dial variants require particular care during disassembly, as enamel is fragile; this is a watchmaker-conversation item before any service is initiated.

Authentication

The Galet Square bronze case must have sharp corners; soft corners mean the bronze has been polished away.

Known issues in the market

Bronze patination is expected; a polished bronze case has been stripped.
The LF230.01 double barrel should allow smooth winding through at least 50 crown rotations before reaching full wind.

Authentication guide

Last reviewed June 2026

The Galet Square is Laurent Ferrier's square-case departure, retaining the Galet organic lug aesthetic in a square format. The bronze case is 41mm and uses the manual-wind Cal. LF230.01 with 72-hour power reserve. The combination of a square Galet case in bronze is immediately distinctive among the LF lineup.

Known reproduction risks

LOW

Non-LF movement in Galet Square case

Any automatic rotor -- LF230.01 is manual-wind
Movement without "Laurent Ferrier" designation on bridges
Power reserve outside the 72-hour specification

The Galet Square in bronze has very limited production and no meaningful replica market. The primary risk is a parts watch with a non-original movement after service.

Square case geometry

Original: The case is 41mm x 41mm square with flowing lugs. The square format is visually distinctive among the Laurent Ferrier lineup. The case height is 11mm. The case is not a rectangle; both dimensions are equal.

Replacement tells

Non-square proportions -- any rectangular case is not the Galet Square
Hard right-angle lug-to-case junction inconsistent with the Galet organic lug design

Movement (Cal. LF230.01)

Original: In-house manual-wind, 21,600 vph (3Hz), 72-hour power reserve from double barrel. Geneva-finished independently. No automatic rotor. The exhibition caseback shows the going train and balance.

Replacement tells

Any automatic rotor visible through caseback -- LF230.01 is strictly manual-wind
Power reserve below 55 hours from full wind -- double barrel delivers 72 hours when healthy
Movement without "Laurent Ferrier" designation on bridges
Conventional Swiss lever escapement geometry rather than the LF double direct-impulse architecture

Power reserve is 72 hours from double barrel. The watch should run approximately 72 hours from full wind. Dropping to reserve before 58 hours indicates mainspring service.
Beat rate is 21,600 vph (3Hz). The seconds hand at the sub-dial at 6 advances in 1/6-second steps -- same cadence as a Cal. Alpha from Nomos. Distinguishing it from a 4Hz movement is straightforward by counting steps.
