Speake-Marin
In-House Movement SM2

 

After three long years of passionate development (not to mention considerable blood, sweat and tears!), Peter Speake-Marin is pleased to present his new in-house movement, the caliber SM2.

“Calibre SM2 incorporates all that I have learned in my years as a watchmaker. SM2 is a unique automatic movement designed by myself from the ground up. It encapsulates my holistic philosophy to movement design; a philosophy that encompasses function, assembly, adjustment, finish, beauty, longevity, and reliability. In the caliber SM2, design follows function; function influences design.”

The Marin-1 is the first Speake-Marin model to integrate this caliber. The dial is a two-piece enamel construction and the case made from polished titanium—the result is a balanced avant-garde Piccadilly. This titanium model is 42 mm x 14.5 mm featuring blued-steel hands with SuperLumiNova centers. As with all of the Piccadillys, the Marin-1 has strong classical influences combined with signature Speake-Marin contemporary design.
