Hi Patrick...

 

So you know about this range by PSM...not many appreciate Maki-e dials or perhaps not many have known about it since very very few watches have them as dial, in fact PSM is the first fine watch that i know of that has a Maki-e dial, apart from some LE Credor.

I do not know the exact reason to this unique 1/1 piece concept...perhaps its difficult to make or impossible to have the same exact motive on couple of different dials, it took at least 3 months to complete one dial of this. And maybe, for one-of-a-kind purpose, it actually creates some exclusivity to person who admires them. I'd always love turtles so this piece definitely have some special sentimental value for me. And Turtle and Crane are symbols of Longevity for many Asians. Some items are just not meant to be mass produce i guess...and i think this is one of it smile

Just my 2c of course. Thanks for looking smile

 

 

Regards

The Piccadilly is a lovely watch on itself already but with this dial it's amazing. The Crane and the Turtle are made so beautiful. Thanx for sharing.

This is the most beautiful Maki-é dial I have seen yet from PSM.

He doesn't do the dial work himself, but Peter is a great judge of beauty with a unique talent for identifying and reeling in the skills of others to complement the beauty of his watches. I wonder whether this piece has the PSM in-house movement powering ...

The Turtle&Crane does not house the new in house PSM movement. Thanks for the kind words Regards

I second that

I also agree, this is the most beautiful Maki-e I've seen by Speake-Marin. Master artist Mushu must be very proud of his creation. Such a pity that he chose only to create one piece.

Thanks for bring it to my attention...

And for bringing to my attention that Credor also has Maki-e dials. I'm going to do more research about those watches soon. It's very difficult to recreate Maki-e; the pen companies have a hard time replicating each maki-e painting and I think they do use... 

Very impressed!

This is a true beautiful work of art; absolutely beautiful dial. Tremendously and stupendously beautiful. I like this dial!
