New Speake-Marin Piccadilly
My new Speake-Marin arrived Friday. I believe it to be the second steel Piccadilly with a white gold engraved dial; at least, it says "No. 2" on the certificate and back. Given the somewhat tepid reaction from my family -- "oh, uh, that's nice" -- to a wa...
timeless beauty
thats how i would discribe it overall and i would add a piece of art craftmanship wise as well . congartulations mate. Faisal
Don't be too disappointed by your family's reaction...
What do they know, right? ;-) That is, for me, the most beautiful PSM watch I have ever seen. I love the dial, the lugs, the hands -- everything. How about a wrist shot and a view of the back of teh watch, please. Congratulations! I hope it grows on your ...
Pics will come
I'm traveling and will get a wrist shot and back shot when I return -- nice to know that (here, at least) my family is wrong!
Another Wow
Great grab Seth, As much as I love Peter's new movements, titanium cases and multi-piece dials.... and I do love them. I have no less affection for the earlier pieces with modified ETA movements. They are an important part of his evolution as a watchmaker...
congrats...its a beaut
naturally your family will react with a WOW had you bought them the new IPad or X-box, but what do they know
Wow and Wow again!
Besides, who needs a family when you can be wearing - this? What would their reaction be if you had just unpacked a "Black Cobra"? No worry. I could like the Urwerk but much prefer a PSM without serpents. amerix
You are very fortunate...
That is a lovely iteration of the model and your photos are quite exceptional also. Enjoy (as if you need to be told!). Cheers, pplater.
More photos, as requested
Thanks for the good words, all. Glad to know I'm not alone. Here are three more pics and what was requested, the back and the obligatory wrist shot. They are not the quality of the earlier photos (which I did not take, my dealer did; and, yes, he's not ju...
The Dial Design
It's actually not guilloché (which just proves something about the poor quality of my phone photos and the way in which photos don't capture depth) -- it's hand engraved. In fact, to me, one of the nice things about the engraving is that it is asymme...
Wow Squared!! Congratulations
As a fellow PSM owner, welcome to the club! PSM's are truly extraordinary and definitely not mainstream. It even took me 2 tries to fall in love with the style. Once I got over the hump and built up my confidence to wear it more frequently (hard to believ...
Congratulations for a fellow PSM owner!
Beautiful Seth! I have a PSM of the same design; mine comes in a white gold case. I will post some pictures of my watch soon.
with so many Wows going around
I suggest not a "bow wow" - human talk for a dog - but more of a WOOF WOOF (a really big dog) or a WUFF WUFF (the german version of the same) but have you seen the pictures of the MARIN 2, or SM2 - not here but a few steps away from a couple of "other" fo...
Congratulations and Great Choice
I think Peter's work will be true treasures for many generations. Great choose and a beautiful watch.
Congratulations!
That's a beautiful PSM! The engraving in the center of the dial is unusual and delicately lovely! A great timepiece! Cheers, Daos
A Rare Sort of Wrist Shot
I promised another wrist shot. How about this one? The watch and the maker. (The owner is a bit irrelevant, but he snuck in wearing watch). Best part was meeting Peter. His enthusiasm for his watches, and certainly the Thalassa -- which is stunning -- was...
:-)
That's awesome! I admire Peter a lot. He's one of the great independent watchmakers, and you're right -- getting a special timepiece from a person is a lot more meaningful than buying one from a corporation! Cheers, Daos
