Speake-Marin Pioneer Spirit

At SalonQP , the London exhibition of watches that today will close its doors Saturday, November 12, Peter Speake-Marin is presenting his latest Pioneer Spirit who, true to the name chosen, is engraved on the case back to the motto "Fight, Love & persevere "(Fight, Love, and Persevere).

It 'just the iconic case " Piccadilly "to bond with her ??undeniable classic signature forms an independent English watchmaker who resides in Switzerland: it highlights the traits that Peter has chosen to remember that he, although an open mind and working now long in the land Confederation, remained tied to the ancient traditions of his country's watchmaking. This case of 38 mm. I was not new: at the launch of the Marin 1 ( click here ) at Baselworld 2010, I held in my hands a lot.

Speaking of the new Pioneer Spirit Peter says: " His spirit inspired by a clock that I bought fifteen years ago while I was restoring the antique clocks in Piccadilly, London. It was a real military watch the first half of the 20 th century that put it back on track in his spare time and I wore a regular basis as my personal timepiece. Since I started my brand Speake-Marin, I always wanted to make it work one day to resume the semblance of my favorite and I enjoyed trying to imagine how in the end I would have built . "

A good story, but for a watch is not an independent part of a commercial design: it may feel good, but nothing that can happen to people who do this job. When you pass your hands timepieces of all styles and eras, someone - sometimes just one and unknowingly - enter into you and they will always happen if the chance of a lifetime to build its own clock, of course, from A to Z .

Pioneer Spirit observing its simplicity is evident. Following the rules which at one time, a military watch was to follow the choice of colors white on black - both lacquered - returns the maximum readability. The same intensity are oversized Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9. The hour is in the typical style Speake-Marin ' Foundation 'and, together with that of the latter in the center, covered with Superluminova.

The self-winding Calibre FW2012 is visible from the transparent sapphire caseback. The skeleton oscillating weight with deep cuts is another hallmark of Peter's vision. Along with the name, numbers, and the motto of which I have already mentioned above, is labeled 'Limited Edition': it will be built only 68 pieces .

Trivia: When Speake-Marin speaks and writes by hand finishing that brings to the plate, the bridges, the rotor and lower case in any other particular, he speaks and writes always referring to the Foundation pocket watch - his watch with tourbillon, who created early in his career.

"an example? The wheel that displays the seconds, the German silver bridges, finishing the round grains and wide curves, I'm not Swiss, French or American, and my style is a lot myself because there was no compromise to be respected due to existing components or mechanisms to adapt. I had the opportunity to draw this movement exactly the way I wanted. This is the great advantage of starting from scratch .
