True to Garrick’s mandate of elevating homegrown British watchmaking, the Norwich-based artisan brand is now introducing one of the most esoteric of complications in the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds. The new Garrick S2 deadbeat seconds is the latest timepiece to leave the confines of our workshop. The watch is handcrafted in-house by Master Watchmaker Stuart Smith. Each component stands testament to Smith’s unwavering pursuit of excellence.

Previously, all of Garrick’s movements have incorporated a small seconds indication. However, for the first time, with the advent of the Calibre DB-GO6, the brand unveils its latest model endowed with a deadbeat seconds display, the aptly named Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds.

The Deadbeat seconds is one of the most unusual complications in haute horology. Generally, the easiest way to tell if a timepiece is mechanical or quartz is whether the hand sweeps or ticks. Sweeping traditionally means mechanical, ticking means quartz.

The dead-beat flips that on its head in gloriously idiosyncratic style by lavishing countless hours of mechanical ingenuity to allow it to stop between seconds. Thanks to the large Garrick Trinity free-sprung balance wheel at 6 o’clock however, there’s no mistaking the S2 Deadbeat for anything but mechanical.

This new complication is possible via the Calibre DB-GO6 calibre, a movement built in-house, painstakingly finished by watchmaker Stuart Smith. 

Each movement is built from the ground-up – no adapting pre-assembled movements here – finished with frosted gold, black gold or rhodium plated bridges with mirror polished, engraved or hand bevelled cocks. Only then is it placed in the timelessly handsome S2 case.

This watch is housed in a 42mm 904L stainless steel case, made within the confines of the company’s Norwich workshop. The case exhibits a brilliant gleam, courtesy of a linishing machine and expert polishing. A fluted onion crown adds a flurry of style and proves simple to manipulate. Garrick also offers an 18-carat gold case option for those prospective clients seeking the ultimate expression of luxury.

Two versions of the dial are available – the original S2 MK1 with applied heat blued skeleton chapter ring and the MK2 which features a thin circular grained chapter ring with infilled markers.

Both versions are available with frosted or engine turned finishes.

The engine-turned dial, sometimes termed 'guilloché', is an exemplar of hand craftsmanship and is produced entirely in-house on one of Garrick’s historic rose and straight-line engines.

It is available in a choice of rhodium or gold plate finishes. In the case of the rhodium dial, it is treated on three separate occasions in order to achieve an attractive shade of dark grey. Alternatively, would-be wearers can choose from different dial motifs and colours, sating any personal preferences.

Clients can choose from polished, brushed or thermally blued steel lancine or anchor hands, again made in-house, featuring faceted edges, augmenting readability.  

It takes around five days to build and finish the dial of the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds.

A chapter ring, framing the centrally positioned, engine-turned motif, sits on a higher level and is adorned with a circular-grained pattern. The hours are denoted with thermally blued Roman numerals, while a chemin de fer facilitates the read-off of minutes and seconds. The lancine hands, again made in-house, feature faceted edges, augmenting readability. Clients can choose from polished, brushed or thermally blued steel hands.

It takes around five days to build and finish the dial of the Garrick S2 Central Seconds. However, it is the company’s belief that haste seldom yields greatness.

Upholding the design language of the company’s popular Portsmouth model, the dial includes a large aperture at 6 o’clock. This opening grants views of the balance wheel oscillating to and fro. The mainplate can be specified in frosted gold plate or rhodium plate with perlage decoration.

The Calibre UT-GO6 can be viewed via the exhibition caseback. The rim of the balance wheel is made of a patented anti-magnetic alloy called Sircumet. The rate of the movement is altered by adjusting the timing screws on the balance. These screws are set inboard, mitigating air turbulence and, in so doing, augmenting precision.

Whether its the engine-turned dial, the applied chapter ring with thermally blued numerals, the in-house hands or the elevated movement finishing, with this British watch, peerless craftsmanship abounds. The S2 Central Seconds represents the pinnacle of Garrick ownership and confers a degree of exclusivity seldom found with mass-produced watches.
