Speake-Marin
Speake-Marin was founded in Switzerland in 2002 by the British watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin, his visionary talent ensuring the technical superiority and aesthetical uniqueness of his watches produced in small series. Before opening his own manufacture, Peter worked for seven years at the renowned watch retailer Somlo Antiques in London where he developed and headed the antique watch restoration department.
Speake-Marin timepieces are today grouped into three collections. The sports watches of the Spirit Collection take their inspiration from the vintage military and pilots' world.
The more traditional J-Class Collection is often influenced by the world's oldest nautical race: the America's Cup. Speake-Marin has drawn inspiration from sailing and has dedicated its models to the sport by naming each of its new models after a famous yacht.
Lastly there is the Cabinet des Mystères, which includes the manufacturer's exceptional and esoteric models such as the mechanical art series and the miniature art pieces.
In 2015, the celebrated actor Pierce Brosnan was appointed brand ambassador for Speake-Marin.
