AUTO
CALIBRE LF270.01
Exclusively developed by LAURENT FERRIER, the calibre LF 270.01is the house’s second
automatic calendar movement. It subtly pairs a homage to our Natural Escapement Micro-Rotor
with a sportier, more assertive style, and has been entirely designed, decorated, assembled
and adjusted in the LAURENT FERRIER workshops.
This new calibre features a Swiss lever escapement and uses an automatic winding system
via an o-centred micro-rotor. A unidirectional ball bearing replaces the traditional pawl
system, giving this movement signicant benets in terms of shock- and vibration-resistance.
The micro-rotor features an oscillating weight made from 950platinum, which is positioned
directly between the mainplate and the rotor bridge to ensure ideal stability and to maximise
its winding potential. When completely wound, this calibre oers a power reserve of over
72hours.
Careful attention to detail
A sapphire crystal case back reveals an impeccably nished movement whose architecture
echoes the main codes of the brand’s rst automatic movement.
Every single calibre LF270.01 requires over 139manual nishing operations. In particular, the
bridge of the micro-rotor movement is meticulously decorated by hand, with softened angles
nished with Gentian wood and Diamantine, and a mirror-polished surface. The movement also
features several interior angles, multiple zinc-polished surfaces and many instances of satin-
brushing and circular-graining, all produced by hand in the LAURENT FERRIER workshops.
The ruthenium-treated bridges present a horizontal satin-brushed nish. These decorative
touches combine to give this automatic movement a dynamic look that is as modern as it is
intense. When paired with the dark hue of the grade 5titanium adorning the bracelet and case,
it enhances the sharp and sporty style of this new exceptional timepiece.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your timepiece is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement and has a
72-hour power reserve.
Special attention has been paid to the winding system, which is tted with a ball-shaped
winding crown to ensure a particularly smooth handling.
Crown positions:
Position 0: normal running position.
Position 1: manual winding position - crown unscrewed.
Position 2: rapid date correction position.
Position 3: hour and minute correction position.
To adjust or wind your timepiece, you will need to unscrew the crown by turning it three or four
times in an anti-clockwise direction.
If your watch has stopped, rst wind your timepiece (position 1), then proceed to rapid date
correction by turning the crown in an anti-clockwise direction only (position 2). Finally,
set the time (position 3).
Push the crown back into position 1after each time-setting operation and then screw it back
down by turning it clockwise to return it to its normal running position (position 0).

TIPS ON USE AND MAINTENANCE
Your LAURENT FERRIER timepiece is a sophisticated precision instrument that operates continually in a wide
range of conditions. Like any high-precision instrument, it requires regular maintenance and particularly careful
use.
Maintenance:
Given the complexity of LAURENT FERRIER movements and to maintain the validity of your guarantee, any
operations on your watch must be exclusively undertaken by the LAURENT FERRIER Workshop. Please therefore
send your watch to LAURENT FERRIER SA or contact [e-mail].
It is dicult to determine the exact frequency of maintenance services required, as this depends on the model,
the climate and the conditions of use.
Nonetheless, LAURENT FERRIER recommends a complete overhaul of its models every four to ve years.
LAURENT FERRIER oers two main types of maintenance service:
Standard maintenance service:
The frequency of this service largely depends on how often you use your watch in an aquatic environment (see
the chapter on Water-resistance). It comprises:
• Cleaning and lubricating the escapement and the balance;
• Checking the movement operating parameters and the functions of the watch;
• Cleaning the case;
• Replacing all the seals and checking water-resistance.
Complete overhaul:
Overhaul to be done every ve years to ensure that your timepiece continues to operate correctly. It comprises:
• Overhauling the movement;
• Disassembling and cleaning components and replacing worn components;
• Assembling, lubricating and adjusting;
• Refurbishing the case;
• Replacing all the seals and checking water-resistance.
Water-resistance:
LAURENT FERRIER Sport Auto watches are currently tested to withstand the pressure at a depth of 120metres.
While a water-resistant watch can be worn while swimming, it must not be used when jumping from a diving
board or during water sports, when there is a high risk of impacts. If used extensively in an aquatic environment,
we recommend that you have the water-resistance of your watch checked once a year. In the event of occasional
use, this service should be performed every two years.
Special recommendations:
What should I do to ensure my LAURENT FERRIER watch continues to serve me well for many years?
• Avoid impacts, vibrations and crushing;
• Refrain from placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigerators, as they generate powerful magnetic elds;
• Thoroughly rinse the titanium case and bracelet in warm water every time your watch is immersed in seawater;
• To keep your water-resistant watch looking its best, we recommend cleaning it with a toothbrush soaked in
soapy water and then rinsing it thoroughly with clear water;
• Make sure the crown is screwed back down against the side of the case to avoid compromising the watch’s
water-resistance;
• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or to sudden changes in temperature.
