Laurent Ferrier vs Moritz Grossman?

Through a strange turn of events I am getting a watch from one of those brands for free.

I can pick between an LF or a Moritz Grossman piece.

I’m leaning towards the MG piece due to the finishing quality, engraved numerals and the incredibly made hands.

Am I missing something with the LF?

Wow, how fortunate. They are both terrific. For me, it would come down to the models I’d be choosing between, can you share the references in question?

LF, especially if it's the Sport Auto.

That's a can't go wrong decision if I've ever seen one.

I love both, have tried on neither, and suspect I'd prefer the fit of the LF models I like more than the MG models I like for me personally.

If you can miraculously ask for any LF for free, get the Classic Tourbillon "Grand Feu". Hand-finishing-wise, a LF is at a higher level. If I would pay for a LF, that Tourbillon will be the one. I wish I'm in your shoe though I never receive anything free in my life before.

MG
Very good looking watches w solid designs.


Prefer the more traditional case shapes of the MG over the LF pebble

Also

prefer the more appropriate (imnsho) diameter over the too large for a dress watch LF.

Considering your tastes and what you like in watches, I'm not sure how the answer isn't Moritz Grossman.

Get the MG… if you got an LF for free I’d be far too jealous.
