It has Peter's DNA
Hi Alex, peters's watches are very unique.You can see the progression from the picadilly to the thalasa but you know it is a PSM just like you can pick a Porsche 911 in the car park in its different variants over the years.The new manual movement which took 3 years to design and develop is very well finished and fill the case very nicely.As it is a manual, it is thinner and the side profile of the thalasa is thinner.HAGWE.
Scenes from an Italian Diner (Dinner in Sydney with Peter Speake-Marin)
Thanks to a friend I made through this forum, I was fortunate enough to be invited to have dinner with Peter Speake-Marin a few hours ago. Peter is in Sydney for 24 hours as part of his whirlwind world tour currently. Here are some photos. Please forgive ...
Wow that was quick!
Thanks so much for coming, and I am glad that you had a good time. It was an enjoyable evening indeed, Peter Speake-Marin as charming and funny as he was when we met him last year. Unexpectedly, I found the new Thalassa quite different in the flesh to wha...
Thanks for asking me along.
It helps that I don't usually work on fridays so I was able to put the photos together. Interesting that you were Tweeting Peter's wife whilst you were talking to Peter. Modern technology, huh. Regards, Richard.
guilty as charged
Yes it was a happy coincidence that Daniela was online and on twitter at that time, so I thought that it would be fun to tell her what was happening. Gotta love modern technology I tweeted a little for those Melbourne guys on twitter who will be at Peter'...
Having a blast ...
The Melbourne dinner starts in 45 minutes. Great to see the coverage from last night. I spent a few hours with Peter today and he is a great guy - and a true Purist when it comes to his watchmaking. More coverage and an interview to follow ... Andrew
Thanks for sharing
for sure Thalassa in flesh is another sort of beauty way better looking than the press shots. seems like a cosy gathering . Faisal
That was seriously fast!! Thanks for the post!
I pretty much went home and fell asleep!! but glad to see that you used a couple of the shots i took with your olympus... great camera/lens... sigh... looks like i will need to divert some of my watch funds over to a camera fund! It was great to meet you ...
Good to meet you too...
It helps that I don't usually work on fridays. Let me know if you eventually get this camera format and I can let you know about these old cine lenses that I use. Regards, Richard.
Instantly recognisable...
Upon seeing it in person it immediately appeared distinctive and recognisable as a PSM watch, which I believe was Peter's intent. With the way my eyesight is, I find the seconds rotor a bit hard to read but that is not a significant concern. Its design is...

I really like the new Thalassa!
Very unique, and stands apart from the crowd in a good way. I am hoping to meet PSM at some point, as I've long admired his watches. He's a rock star! Thanks for the coverage, Richard! I bet everyone had a grand time, and the food looked tasty! Cheers, Da...
Great night it was Daos...
Thanks for looking. Hope you get to catch up with him some time soon. Rock star? Not quite Bono but I know what you mean. Regards, Richard.
Thanks Jp
And a huge thanks from all of us for your generosity in shouting us a round of champagne! CHEERS!
Well, thanks for the champagne.
Very generous of you. Great organisation as well by Ap. Regards, Richard.
