I had the pleasure
I had the pleasure of handling this minute repeater in a private dinner not too long ago before SIHH.
At that time no pics was allowed before the official announcement.
But even in a fairly noisy room i could hear the clear chime of the hammers.
Very impressive piece indeed.
Our visit with PSM
One of the treats for our group during the week of SIHH was a visit with Peter Speake-Marin at his new quarters -- a very pleasant facility in a light-industrial park area. Since I have the pleasure of seeing Peter fairly often, I didn't do a lot of photo...
Makes me wish
...I had bought that PSM tourb when I had the chance -- even so, I like the more modern case proportions of this new series even better. Best, Gary
Thanks for this, Allen!
A very good capture of the clear sound of this repeater. All in all a really good effort by Peter, I think! Best, Gary G
first time to hear the sounds from this RTMR...
... but feel a bit hard, perhaps i like a bit soften one. thanks for sharing, Allen. stefan
Very fast, an impressive first minute repeater...
Thank you Allen for the video, getting the sound of these minute repeaters on a camera is never easy. A fairly quick minute repeater; finishes in about 16 seconds. Many thanks to GaryG for the thread and Allen for the video.
Good photos and its .......
Good to see Peter on the way up ! I would like to visit his workshop in the very near future Cronolust
Happy for Peter
He really seems upbeat about his prospects, and I sense that he has come out the back side of the "art vs. commerce" mental battle with a good view of how he can pursue his passion for design and at the same time build strong markets for his work. Not the...

Is this the first step
towards more models/complications within the Piccadilly line? For some reason, maybe I read or misread it somewhere, I thought the chapter was closed on the Piccadilly. Regards, Richard.
My understanding, subject to correction
...is that the Classic line will be the extension of the original Piccadilly models, including models you will recognize from the original line. But, with a new base movement (not the 2824 base). Different case proportions (more like the Marin 1 based wat...
S-M
The Minute Repeater Tourbillon is not really based out of the "Classics" or the SM-2 based Marin series. In fact, the calibre, the case, the dials, the bridges and the striking mechanism were all specifically designed for this project in particular. The c...
Sorry for any confusion
...but I think we are in agreement (unless I've missed it again). Three lines: 1. Renaisssance (including the Repeater Tourb) -- all new 2. Classic -- an update on the original Piccadilly series 3. SM -- perhaps some future pieces to extend this line, alt...
..yes, this is right.
...just depending on how different parallel course come together at different times, we could see a model from any of these series. Right now..the Classics are up. Thank you Gary G.!
