Photos from Peter Speake-Marin>>>
Hello to all!
Here are some photos, still in the prototype stage, from forum friend and AHCI candidate, Peter Speake-Marin.

"the pieces are protos, the final quality of finish will be supperior to that shown here, I have replaced the automatic mechanism with one matching my tourbillon in style, hand beveled wheel on a german silver bridge. The white version with gold crown will be a white gold case, the white crown white case will be platinum..."
Fabulous work! Peter is using an ETA 2824, which is modified (automatic system) and finished (eventually) to his standards. It should be remembered that Peter makes the hands (I particularly like the seconds hand), case and engine turned dial (I'm not sure who did his enamel dials but they are lovely) for both his pocket and wrist watches. In fact, most of the pocket watch is made by Peter's skilled hands.
I am looking forward to seeing Peter and his work in Basel this year. I'm sure he'd like to visit all of you who may be attending, as well.
Cheers,
Curtis
