5 OUR HIS TO RY Speake-Marin is a Swiss watchmaking brand created in Since this date, the brand presents its creations which are a combination of know-how and excellence of Swiss watchmaking. Furthermore the Swiss brand possesses something unique: an English touch. There in, is found the quintessence of Speake-Marin. Behind this unique name, we can find the brands English roots. Native from England, Peter Speake-Marin went to Switzerland after qualifying as a horologist in London following which he deepened his knowledge at WOSTEP, Neuchatel. He pursued his career in London at Somlo Antiques in Piccadilly where he acquired his taste for antique watches through restoration. After seven years, he returned to Switzerland in 1996, and in 2002 he created his brand as an independent watchmaker. The story of Speake-Marin begins at this point! The first watch realized by Speake-Marin is a pocket watch with a tourbillon, the Foundation Watch. This watch is particularly important in the history of the brand because it carries all the important codes that we find even today through the existing collections, such as the Piccadilly case whose design is inspired by the original marine chronometers, but also through the fluted crown and the heat-blued steel hands which make Speake-Marin watches unique. 4 5

6 OUR KN OW HOW Swiss in the realisation till the end of their hands, but British in spirit: our timekeepers are discreet with a subtle touch of humour which appears through a hint of eccentricity: a movement that plays with time, an animation which catches your attention, a touch of colour which thwarts the conventional codes, a Piccadilly case with distinctive design. By the expression of this impertinence, the Swiss brand pays tribute in the British origins of its founder: Peter Speake-Marin. 6 7

7 In our atelier in la Chaux-de-Fond, the watchmakers of Speake-Marin build the movements and assemble the watches in a rigorous watchmaking tradition where know-how and excellence are the key words. Timekeepers with a timeless elegance realized in very limited editions. Exclusive watches which are unique from the design of the dials to the complexity of the movement. 8 9

10 OUR AM BAS SA DOR I met Peter on the set of a film in which he was a consultant for a character who was a watchmaker. We spoke briefly; we both love what we do, and myself as a lover of watches I appreciated his genuine passion and subsequent designs. I acquired one of his time-pieces and a dialogue ensued. When Peter asked me to be an ambassador for his work it was a simple answer. PIERCE BROSNAN 14 15

11 OUR col lec tions Nowadays, timekeepers of Speake-Marin are presented in four collections. The Spirit collection for the sport watches. The collection J-Class gathers classic timekeepers, companions of the everyday life. The ladies watches, elegant by day and by night, come to light through the Shenandoah and finally the exceptional pieces in the Cabinet des Mystères. These last pieces carry in them stories and breathtaking mechanisms

Independent watchmaking today is a representation of living watchmakers through the watches they make. A new era of horology has begun. In 2006 I was exhibiting alongside independent watchmakers Vianney Halter and Philippe Dufour. We were in the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and talking to a group of collectors. Philippe addressed the
