Price range £9,800 to £39,192 across 18 Speake-Marin watches in stock.The 42mm Piccadilly case is cut from polished-brushed Grade 5 titanium, 12.35mm thick, with straight lugs and a grooved flared crown engraved with the Speake-Marin logo. Beneath the sapphire crystal, the three-dimensional openworked dial carries a positive purple PVD coating, with bevelled edges given a shiny polished finish and microbeaded pockets creating depth throughout the movement architecture. The flying tourbillon sits at 1:30 beneath a rhodium-plated, mirror-polished bridge shaped after the traditional topping tool; the power reserve indicator appears at 7:30. Heart-shaped hands carry light grey Super-LumiNova with a blue glow. The in-house SMA05 automatic runs on a fully integrated tungsten micro-rotor at 21,600vph, with a 72-hour power reserve across 290 components. A purple calf leather strap with an embossed denim pattern fastens via a titanium folding clasp bearing the Maison's logo.

Learn more about Speake-Marin
Peter Speake-Marin trained at Hackney Technical College in London, spent years restoring antique watches on Piccadilly and later worked at Renaud et Papi, the complications workshop behind much of the industry's most difficult work. He founded his own brand in Switzerland in 2002.
The house style was established early and has stayed: the Piccadilly case with its distinctive stepped bezel, the topping tool motif taken from a watchmaker's own bench, and heart-shaped bridges visible through the back.
Christelle Rosnoblet bought the company in 2012 and built a movement workshop in the Neuchâtel region, moving it from assembling supplied calibres towards developing and finishing its own.
The output is deliberately small and deliberately difficult — tourbillons, minute repeaters, the Vertical Double Tourbillon, and an Art Series with hand-sculpted dials. These are watches made in dozens rather than thousands.
Peter Speake-Marin himself has since moved on to other projects; the brand he named continues in Geneva.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 72 hours fully wound — enough to sit off the wrist over a weekend and still be running.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
