THE FINAL WORD BY PETER SPEAKE-MARIN 78

54

Speake-Marin is a Swiss watchmaking brand created in 2002. Since this date, the brand presents its creations which are a combination of know-how and excellence of Swiss watchmaking. Furthermore the Swiss brand possesses something unique: an English touch. There in, is found the quintessence of Speake-Marin.

Behind this unique name, we can find the brands English roots. Native from England, Peter Speake-Marin went to Switzerland after qualifying as a horologist in London following which he deepened his knowledge at WOSTEP, Neuchatel. He pursued his career in London at Somlo Antiques in Piccadilly where he acquired his taste for antique watches through restoration. After seven years, he returned to Switzerland in 1996, and in 2002 he created his brand as an independent watchmaker. The story of Speake-Marin begins at this point!

The first watch realized by Speake-Marin is a pocket watch with a tourbillon, the “Foundation Watch”. This watch is particularly important in the history of the brand because it carries all the important codes that we find even today through the existing collections, such as the Piccadilly case whose design is inspired by the original marine chronometers, but also through the fluted crown and the heat-blued steel hands which make Speake-Marin watches unique.

OUR

HISTORY

76

OUR

KNOW

HOW

Swiss in the realisation till the end of their hands, but British in spirit: our timekeepers are discreet with a subtle touch of humour which

appears through a hint of eccentricity: a movement that plays with time, an animation which catches your attention, a touch of colour

which thwarts the conventional codes, a Piccadilly case with distinctive design. By the expression of this impertinence, the Swiss brand pays

tribute in the British origins of its founder: Peter Speake-Marin.

98

In our atelier in la Chaux-de-Fond, the watchmakers of Speake-Marin build the movements and assemble the watches in a

rigorous watchmaking tradition where know-how and excellence are the key words. Timekeepers with a timeless elegance realized in very limited

editions. Exclusive watches which are unique from the design of the dials to the complexity of the movement.

1312

Pieces, often unique, which tell a know-how and especially a creativity that makes the

uniqueness of Speake-Marin.

1514

OUR

AMBASSA

DOR

PIERCE BROSNAN

“I met Peter on the set of a film in which he was a consultant for a character who was a watchmaker. We spoke briefly; we both love what we do, and myself as a lover of watches I appreciated his genuine passion

and subsequent designs. I acquired one of his time-pieces and a dialogue ensued.

When Peter asked me to be an ambassador for his work it was a simple answer.”

1716

OUR

collec

tionsNowadays, timekeepers of Speake-Marin are presented in

four collections. The Spirit collection for the sport watches. The collection J-Class gathers classic timekeepers,

companions of the everyday life. The ladies watches, elegant by day and by night, come to light through the Shenandoah and finally the exceptional pieces in the

Cabinet des Mystères. These last pieces carry in them stories and breathtaking mechanisms.

1918

THE SPIRIT COL

LECTION

The design of the Speake-Marin sport collection was motivated by

early military and pilots watches to create original yet vintage inspired

designs. Two models exist in this collection: the simple and refined

Wing Commander and the Seafire with its Chronograph. A collection

whose passionate motto of Speake-Marin «Fight, Love & Persevere» is engraved on the case-back of

each watch. Since 2015, these two models bring a little colour

to their dials parrying red, blue or orange and limited editions are

punctually revealed for the pleasure of collectors

COLLEC

TION

The J-Class watches are the most classical timekeeper of Speake-Marin. Classical indeed, but each piece possesses a detail, a touch of originality

which makes of each model a watch of character. Elegant in its DNA, this collection will stand the test of time and keeps its youthful freshness for centuries. From the Resilience, inspired by the antique pocket watch,

to the unique single hand Velsheda, the Serpent Calendar with its crazy hand or the multilevel London Chronograph, all the creations respect the

major codes of Speake-Marin as its dial in enamel, the Piccadilly case, the blued-steel or the pleated crown. Furthermore, most of the models of the

J-class collection are equipped with a Vaucher 3002 automatic movement, except the Magister Vertical Double Tourbillons, the London Chronograph

realized with the historical Valjoux Caliber 92 and the new One & Two, highlight of the collection for 2017, with its in-house calibre SMA01.

THE LADIES WATCH

COLLECTION

Speake-Marin presents its ladies collection: Shenandoah. This model for women bears the name of a river in Virginia, United States, which in Amerindian means “the beautiful girl of the stars”.

It is a poetic name that bears witness to Speake-Marin’s desire to pay tribute to women by moving away from existing Speake-Marin models, while preserving certain iconic codes of the brand such as the blue hands. This timepiece has been designed to adorn the feminine wrist day or night.
