Designer
In-house design studio
The reference was drawn by the manufacture's internal design office, where case, dial and movement architects work alongside the watchmakers rather than as an outside commission.
Historical significance
Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin 42 mm Meteorite Platinum sits within Laurent Ferrier's Classic Origin line, introduced in 2010. It carries the house codes established since 2010 — platinum 950 case, meteorite dial and manual-winding, hand-finished — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.

Brand history
Laurent Ferrier has spent more than 16 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Classic Origin, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Laurent Ferrier established Laurent Ferrier in 2010, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Laurent Ferrier calibre produced today.
