In link quintessential GF form, every part of the new Nano Foudroyante EWT movement is immaculately finished, from the column wheel for the chronograph to the extensive mix of frosting, mirror-polishing, and link chamfering. At first, I thought the location and size of the bridges distracted from what you'd normally want to see from a chronograph – the mass of gears and levers that make link it all work – but over time; I realized that this is gorgeous in its simplicity.
The basic bones and guts of the UR-103 are all here and link accounted for. The case shape is as it should be, albeit in stainless steel and with slightly raw, industrial-style finishing to it; the movement is as it should be; the displays are all there, from the rotating satellite discs up front to the earliest "control board" display on the reverse of the watch. But there are a few link little quirks that further set this prototype link apart.
An almost textbook picture of balance and symmetry, the silvered opaline dial is link evenly divided into link quadrants from its center, with hour markers converging inward from the minute track. Great contrast comes via Burgundy-colored markings for the sub-seconds as well as for the numerals of the hours 13 through 24, should one desire the time on a 24-hour scale. The sense for shape, color, and symmetry that have always been link the calling cards of Laurent Ferrier is there.
