Who is this PETER they SPEAKE of MARINa? Do you know?
I hear he does some very fine work. Piccadilly with traditional blued serpent minute hand on a cream enamel dial with hand-engraved movement plate. I have wanted a Piccadilly for a while. Meeting Peter helped make my decision easy and he helped me make th...
Thank you very much Arthur.
Hope you're giving the last Shimoda plenty of wrist time too. Regards, Richard.
Those are 2 very beautiful watches Arthur
Piccadillys are very distinctive. Thanks for the photos. Regards, Richard.

PSMs are quite photogenic...there seems to be more "body" to capture, then other flatish watches. best, Horo

I like the "hidden" beauty of the rear engraving. Any news from Austria? Regards, Richard.
Hopefully soon :)
New bridges are almost ready according to Maria and Richard. Can't wait to see the parts ready for assembly Richard please don't neglect your lovely Austrian now that you have a British-Swiss with a gorgeous rear view Have fun with them!
Congrats, Richard!
What a beautiful piece! I've been impressed with every PSM I've encountered. They really are special, lovely watches. Enjoy yours for many, many years to come. Long live the Independents! Cheers, Daos
Thank you very much Daos...
Dealing direct with the watchmaker is an immense pleasure. I wouldn't have thought of the engraving unltil Peter suggested it to me. This one's a definite keeper - because it's mine. Regards, Richard.
Tastefully done Richard.
Blue hands with white enamel dial - way to go! Just beautiful! Congrats! Did you forget the all important WS BTW? cheers fernando
Thanks very much Fernando but
the photos were taken around 10pm last night. I couldn't get a decently lit wristshot, so I'll save that for another time. Regards, Richard.
Congratulations, Richard
It's a lovely combination of classic watchmaking, simplicity with some design panache in the rotor and plate engraving. Great choice. And having met PSM is icing on the horological cake. Peter will be at IGOTT2 with his family if all goes well. Another op...
Would if I could
but attendance at IGOTT2 is not on the cards at this stage. Thanks for the compliments. Regards, Richard.
Hehe....
Congratulations, and I'm pleased that I played a small part in your new acquisition
Thanks very much aptronym
Would never have met Peter if not for you so I am deeply indebted. And you seriously helped with the correct sizing of the watch that day so many thanks again. PS: Have been back to Max S a few times now and now have 4 perfectly running older watches as a...
Good to hear....
...that Max has been able to help out. Love Max. More PSM watches for all, say I!
Congrats!!
That's a very nice one! I love the engraved bridge and also nice choices you made regarding dial and hands. Big congrats!! Allow me to share my Piccadilly......
Ah yes, that was a very close second choice ....
It took me a while to make up my mind. Thanks for the picture. Regards, Richard.
Not bad, Richard, not bad....
...despite all those hands! Very lovely - a very well conceived configuration, with great respect paid to tradition. Thanks for the photos, and enjoy! Cheers, pplater.
Thanks kindly pplater
Seeing your Shimoda helped to push me along the PSM path as I mentioned to you back on "Independents Day". I am very happy with this one. Regards, Richard.
Happened to be wearing Piccadilly today
so I took the attached photo with my phone. There seems to hardly be any PSM that doesn't work. Yours is lovely and the engraved back is great touch. Do you know who did the engraving? On mine it was by Boris Nemitz (which might to be true on Arthur's pic...
Am I following you Seth?
First Habring. Now PSM. The option of rear engraving satisfied my desire for an engraved watch like yours and an enamel dial. I don't know who did the engraving but I'll check with Peter and let you know. Regards, Richard.
Answer direct from Peter...
Boris Nemitz worked on the front and back. Regards, Richard.
Oh Yes. We seem to think alike or have similar tastes. Or something.
What, though, did Boris do on the front? Did he work on the hands? Now, guess what I'm getting next......
Well, the reply I got from Peter
was rushed as he was in transit somewhere between Bangkok and KL, so perhaps I'll get a fuller answer later. Now if I were Seth, what would I get next? My best guess would be to look towards the "Land of Leprechauns" or the "Land of Reindeers". Or maybe b...
BIG Congrats on Your PSM Serpent! Wearing Mine in Your Honor!
Peter does some amazing work and as you can see I am a big fan of "Serpents" as well!...
That's splendid, Richard!
Many, many congratulations! That's a fantastic piece -- I love your choice of the serpent minutes hand, and of course I'm a big fan of engraving the rear plate behind the rotor. Hope that you enjoy wearing this beauty for years to come! Best, Gary G
Thanks very much Gary.
You've acquired some great watches recently. Hope you're giving the Thalassa some wrist time. Regards, Richard.
