The painstaking study of the design, the meticulous attention to detail, the cutting-edge calibers from the company's own workshop 'Le Cercle des Horlogers' and the excellence of the handcrafted finishes, make each Speake Marin timepiece a true work of art.
Speake Marin has a strong connection with art in all its facets. To mark its second participation in the TimeForArt charity auction, it has created an exclusive and precious one-off: “Promenade à New York”.
This unique piece, powered by the in-house self-winding movement SMA03, has a 42 mm diameter round Piccadilly case in grade 5 polished/brushed titanium, which becomes the frame for a stunning "painting".
The mother-of-pearl dial is the blank canvas on which the fond memories of a long stay in New York City, during which Mrs Christelle Rosnoblet, the brand's President and CEO, used to enjoy long walks in Central Park on Sunday afternoons, take shape.
Brushes and paints depict the impressive Gapstow Bridge in an evocative fall landscape, where the canopies turn gold, bronze and orange, contrasting with the blue sky and the sparkling reflections on the water. So many details to get lost in, carefully and skilfully painted on a micro-painting that took a week to be completed.
