Grand Sport Tourbillon is the sports line from the Swiss brand Laurent Ferrier: tourbillon watches in a cushion-shaped case that flows seamlessly into an integrated bracelet. The line is a nod to the founder's motor racing past: in 1979 Laurent Ferrier finished third at the 24 Hours of Le Mans as part of a crew.

The case lines are soft and streamlined, with no sharp corners; the bezel is satin-brushed and the bevels polished. At the heart of the watch is an in-house tourbillon calibre. The carriage is not shown on the dial: the front stays clean, while the movement is revealed through the sapphire caseback.

Within the line, the choice is made first of all by case metal and dial: the Grand Sport Tourbillon is made in Grade 5 titanium and 5N rose gold. One example is the Grand Sport Tourbillon Golden Brown, with an 18-carat rose gold case and a brown dial, limited to 24 pieces. The brand also has the neighbouring Grand Sport line.
