Thanks for sharing these great pictures of your PSM pieces! Here are a couple of mine that he was involved with......
Beyond just making watches under his own brand, some folks might not know Peter was involved in some other interesting projects....
When Max Busser ran into serious issues with the movement supply for his very first MB&F piece, Peter stepped right it to help. MB&F's supplier had sent incomplete and unassembled movements and Max was panicking. Peter took the reigns and along with a small number of other highly-skilled watch makers (including a certain Stephen McGonigle) completed and assembled the first MB&F HM 1 timepieces. As Max tells the story, there might not be an MB&F today without Peter.......
Peter also collaborated with two of my favorite watch makers, Roger Dubuis and Daniel Roth on the very interesting Maitres du Temps, Chapter II.
And he also collaborated with Harry Winston on the Ocean Collection tourbillon (pic from web, below).
Three interesting projects that Peter was involved in, there may be more that I'm not aware of! Such a talented watchmaker in so many regards....

Is it wrong of me to wish Peter would get back to work...
And turn out watches like this again. ...
It’s not wrong of you at all, and I bet many of us feel the same way
I’m sure he had his reasons and we wish him the very best in his new ventures, but it all feels a little sad to me, like a waste of talent..... NickO
Agree
i am honest, i own no Speake - Marin, but it are nice watches on the pictures. Not to expensive too, so reachable for watch enthusiasts who like the brand.
Fully agree with you on that.
Such a talented master watchmaker. Hope he will start making great watches like these again
Not wrong. I wish it too.
His early pieces hold a prominent place in my collection and he was the first independent I owned. (A serpent 42mm with enamel dial that was unfortunately sold long time ago). Great guy and artist. ...

I completely agree.
When I first saw a photo of Peter's Spirit and then had an opportunity to meet him, I was hooked on the world of Indies.
Of course not wrong ! On the contrary
I am sure that many of us share the same point of view and would be delighted. Peter is not only a talented watchmaker but also a gentleman full of generosity and humour. I miss these great moments we had together... Thanks for your post, I could not agre...
