DonCorson presents a comprehensive overview of Peter Speake-Marin's novelties from BaselWorld 2013, featuring the 'entry-level' Spirit and Resilience models, the 'Mechanical Art' Triad, and several unique commissioned pieces. His report highlights Speake-Marin's evolving design language and commitment to both accessibility and bespoke craftsmanship.

Peter Speake-Marin is showing his newest "entry level" models, the Spirit and Resilience, the first of a new line of "Mechanical Art" watches the Triad, and some one of a kind pieces.  Let's take a look.

The Triad, an attractive playful display with too much text.




















The Spirit with its Super Luminova numerals and indexes.  This Mark 2 version has a 5 day power reserve.




The Resilience carries an enamel dial with the characteristic depth and warmth of that material.
















Finally we have two one-off commissioned pieces

Of course, I also think FP Journe's watches are generally too wordy. Imagine the Mona Lisa w

The dial layout of Triad is at best describable as " confused" . Does not appear to be a triple time zone watch and therefore not serving a useful lacking since the displays are simply crunched together (naturally limited by the diameter of the case) . There is text all over the circumference of the watch and not adding anything relevant. All that is missing is the address of the atelier on the dial andthen, the clutter would be complete!! While i am sure this would find its own niche set of co
