THE OFFICIAL WATCH BUYER'S GUIDE - Elite Traveler

speake-marin
British-born peter Speake-marin, who studied the art and craft of watchmaking in the UK and Switzerland, in 2000, opened his own atelier to
create the watches he always wished had existed. In all instances, the movements are classically designed and solid cases hold precious dials
made from heavy enamel or gold. for evidence of the longevity of his timepieces, Speake-marin points to the strength of the design and craftsmanship
of his winding crown and its tube in his timepieces, which he predicts will outlive him.

after three years of development, Speake-marin unveiled his first in-house movement, the caliber Sm2 with a signature rotor that gives a
glimpse of the base movement beneath. The graceful marin-1, the first model to hold the new caliber and a variation on his existing work, fea-
tures an enamel dial-within-a-dial in the 38mm or 42mm titanium case and classic blued-steel hands ($33,830).
