Independents

More from Peter Speake-Marin>>>

 

Hello to all,

Here are two pictures of a work in progress for Peter. I have included two links to other threads regarding this watchmaker.

Peter will be showing his work at the AHCI booth in Basel 2002 as a candidate for membership.

He will be using a highly modified ETA movement from a simple time only wristwatch to much more complicated pieces. Peter will share photos of the movements when they are ready.

His attention has been focused on making the case, dial and hands, which Peter does himself. The case and dial are 18k with the dial being hand engraved.

I want to thank Peter for sharing his work with this forum and we look forward to viewing his creative process and the variations of this initial piece.

Cheers,

(I changed the pics to jpg format; as bmp, they were too large and taking forever to load on a dial up - 300k vs 25k - huge difference! I suggest everyone posting pics to convert or save as .jpg rather than .gif, .tif, or .bmp.
