Gentleman, hold on to your hats. Speake-Marin have just unveiled the first piece in their new Mechanical Art Collection and boy is she a looker. Steeped in symbolism – as Speake-Marin pieces invariably are – this stunning creation celebrates the significance of the number three.
Let me guess, you’ve managed to stick to your savings plan the last few months and now find yourself with about $10k to spend on a new toy for your wrist. Only problem is you already have several (insert generic brand names here) in your collection and so you really want to get something different but that still comes in under budget. Sound familiar? If you’re nodding right now don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Don’t get me wrong, there is literally a plethora of mainstream offerings available at around this price point, all from highly reputable brands and all of excellent quality (well, most of them anyway) but sometimes you just want to go with something a little different, without compromising on quality or reputation. Enter the Spirit Mark 2 from Peter Speak-Marin.
The Renaissance Tourbillon Minute-Repeater
As the count-down to the Geneva Time Exhibition gets underway, we take a closer look at one of the big name independent watch-makers who will be exhibiting this year, Peter Speake-Marin. After taking a break from the show last year, the brand will once again use the GTE as a platform to unveil its new creations for 2013.
The Geneva Time Exhibition is set to get underway in less than two weeks and we couldn’t be more excited. There’s a lot to look forward to this year, including a new location right in the heart of the city – the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices (pictured above) – as well as a diverse range of interesting and exciting exhibitors. Add to the mix a range of parties every night, and it’s not hard to see why the GTE has already established itself as a must visit on the annual horological circuit.
It’s a new take on an old design, and the results are nothing short of superb. Presenting the newly released Classic HMS from independent watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin.
After the incredible successes of both the Spirit Pioneer and the Piccadilly Serpent Calendar, Speake-Marin has once again turned his attention to the classic Piccadilly design, this time finding inspiration in the contemporary reinterpretation of his very first Piccadilly model.
