In 2023, Speake Marin raises the question of harmony and balance. Revealing strong watch architecture, The One & Two collection anchor the Speake Marin contemporary style.

The One & Two Openworked Collection pursues its dream of travel and evasion, with its latest timepiece: the Dual Time Pink.

DUAL TIME PINK CREATIVE INSPIRATION

For the summer season, Speake Marin, along with designer Eric Giroud, have decided to shine the spotlight on a tangy pink pastel tint directly inspired by the fresh coloured tones of the Art Deco architecture seen in the famous Ocean Drive district of Miami, Florida. With this new Dual Time Pink watch and its look that is resolutely fun and casual chic, you can escape to the other side of the planet in a short second. The dual time zone transports you for a moment of relaxation to the beaches of Miami lined with palm trees.

This new pink dial has been thoughtfully created to reflect the very essence of the positive, dynamic and sunny atmosphere that reigns in Miami. With its elegant design and bubble-gum pink Pantone 700 C, this Dual Time Pink is an original and fashionable accessory, perfect for adding a touch of audacity to your wrist.

THE CASE

With its new generation Piccadilly case in Grade 5 Titanium with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) treatment, this timepiece is both functional and resistant.

And available in both 38 mm and 42 mm.

THE DIAL

Its bright pastel pink dial, encased in Titanium, is covered with a fine layer of black PVD, a striking colour contrast that will not go unnoticed.

The open-worked Dual Time Pink displays a warm mix of black PVD adorned with the Rose matte tint of Pantone 700 C.

Transferred into the black base plate and contrasting with the equally black bridges, this exceptional pink is then applied in lacquer into the small seconds and retrograde date sub-dial at 1:30, the daylight hours of the dual time sub-dial at 9 o’clock, the rhodium-plated broad ‘arrow’ hand that points to GMT time, and finally, into the rhodium-plated hours and minutes hands in the shape of a heart.

THE SMA02 MOUVEMENT

The Dual Time Pink is equipped with a precision movement to guarantee reliable timekeeping. Powered by calibre SMA02, this automatic Manufacture movement was entirely created and assembled by our workshop “Le Cercle des Horlogers” in la Chaux-de-Fonds.

Beating with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and with a power reserve of 52 hours, this calibre has a fully integrated micro-rotor in the shape of a Topping Tool, emblematic logo of the House of Speake Marin. Local and GMT times are set with the 3 positions of the titanium/black PVD integrated crown, while a small pusher at 7 o’clock sets the small seconds and date.

Front and back sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating offer a panoramic view of the dial and the movement, for a total timepiece thickness of 12.35 mm.

The barrel is visible at 5 o’clock, “Speake Marin” is lacquered in shiny black at 7 o’clock, and all is encircled by a black PVD flange, covered with a matte grey transfer minute track.

THE SMA02 MOUVEMENT

In true haute horlogerie tradition, the skeletonized bridges are bevelled, and the movement is decorated with Geneva stripes, black mirror polishing, and again, bevelling. This timepie-ce is completed with a pink rubber strap to match the dial.

As soft as it is comfortable, it provides perfect adjustment, ideal for such summer activities as poolside festivities, seaside strolls, or simply a day at the beach. No need for concern, the Dual Time Pink is waterproof to 30 meters, to resist the splashes and be worn without worry on your summer escapades.

SPEAKE-MARIN “IN-HOUSE” MOVEMENTS STRATEGY
 
 Since 2015, Speake-Marin has initiated a movement strategy to fully develop and assemble proprietary movements within its atelier in the Neuchatel area, Switzerland. This new strategy gave birth to the “SMA” collection, which includes Openworked, closed dials and Haute Horlogerie movements. Firstly, Speake-Marin focused its efforts on Haute Horlogerie 3 Hz movements (Minute Repeater and Double Tourbillon). Then, Speake-Marin developed Hour Minutes Seconds 4Hz movements, which were featured in the new One&Two design as an Openworked movement named SMA01. This movement is particular due to the small seconds counter being positioned at 1:30 and its integrated micro-rotor. The new SMA02 Calibre is part of the SMA movement family and follows the Openworked collection approach with the small seconds at 1:30. The small seconds at 1:30 meets the Speake-Marin objective to break-away from the watchmaking codes: Speake-Marin is the only watchmaker who positions the small seconds there. It is actually a real constraint in terms of movement development since the small seconds at 1:30 have to go through the time setting module.

Rudis Sylva – RS23 Harmonious Oscillator Edition

Rudis Sylva – RS23 Harmonious Oscillator  - Unique Limited Edition 2023

"An invention as important as the Breguet Tourbillon"
"Better than a Tourbillon"
"The Tourbillon reference"

These are just some of the comments from master watchmakers and industry journalists since the Harmonious Oscillator was created!

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This patented invention with two toothed balances immediately cancels out the effects of gravity when a watch is in the vertical position, unlike a conventional Tourbillon, which needs a whole minute to do so.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Hailing from the Jura Arc, the brand unveiled its invention at Baselworld in 2009. Watch enthusiasts rushed to discover this toothed-balance movement, which is based on technology that goes against all established watchmaking theories. An examination of this revolutionary device reveals the subtlety of the system with two balance-springs which are set in opposition and deploy in turn.

The negative chronometric value of one spring balance is compensated for simultaneously by the positive value of the other spring balance, which totally cancels out the effect of the Earth's gravity on the precision of the watch.

RS 23, the natural next step for the Harmonious Oscillator

 

Today, Rudis Sylva is launching a simplified version of the Harmonious Oscillator which is, nonetheless, equally effective in terms of combating gravity.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The toothed, geared balances are fixed and no longer rotate once per minute in a 360-degree cage as in the "Tourbillon" version.

This simpler execution with two connected balances also allows all chronometric anomalies caused by the Earth's gravitational pull to be cancelled out simultaneously, and therefore remains more precise than a conventional Tourbillon which needs 60 seconds to compensate for the effects of gravity.

Rudis Sylva, a name with Latin roots

 

Rudis Sylva, a name with Latin roots Rudis from Ruedin Jean, the pioneer born in Franches-Montagnes around 1400, and Sylva, the forest.

Rudis Sylva is the old name for the Swiss village of Les Bois in the Franches-Montagnes district, 12 km from La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1900, some 600 of its 1450 inhabitants were watchmakers! The first recorded watchmakers in the village date to 1750. The most well-known of these are the Clémence and Baume families, who opened stores in London to sell their products, which included timepieces with chimes. The Rudis Sylvains – as inhabitants of the village Les Bois were known – passed on their watchmaking expertise throughout the Jura area over many centuries.

Exceptional finishes

The Harmonious Oscillator is a patented movement developed solely by the brand. Whilst the movements are, first and foremost, technical by nature, they are also all decorated by hand, showcasing the skills practised by the craftspeople of the Jura for centuries. When the brand was created, it was the regional expertise that was showcased rather than that of any specific watchmaker.

A Rudis Sylva watch merits a magnifying glass!

This reveals the magnificence of the guilloche work, engraving, bevelling in the inward corners, sunray or circular graining decoration and the other finishes that enhance the Harmonious Oscillator.

Guilloche work

Hand guilloche work has been showcased since the very first Rudis Sylva collection in 2009. The ever-decreasing pyramids designed by Georges Brodbeck, another neighbour from Franches-Montagnes, are extremely difficult to create, and lend prestige and elegance to the RS 10, RS 12 and RS 16 collections.

The “Legendary Brodbeck”, as he was affectionately known by his colleagues at the Technicum in La Chaux-de-Fonds (who claimed he was such a gifted engineer that he could dismantle then reassemble his moped during break time), has created a “flinqué” decoration for the RS 23 collection.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This particular type of guilloche work is created with a special turning engine equipped with various roses which enable a multitude of decorations to be made. This finish is used to enhance the bridge of the Harmonious Oscillator. .

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The engraving is done by hand and using an endmill; the bridges are also hand-bevelled and, apart from the escapement, the barrel springs and the jewels, all the components are machined expressly for the Rudis Sylva calibre.

Rudis Sylva, utterly different and utterly exclusive!

The Jura-based brand is a lesser-known – an exceptionally exclusive – gem! Its DNA has roots in numerous sources:

The name of the brand comes from the village of Les Bois, located in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking, where several of the industry’s leading lights were born. We can cite the Baumes (which became Baume & Mercier), the Clémences, owners of stores in London, the Huots, which became Nivarox-Far, the Baumanns, which became ETA, and other families famous far and wide.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Harmonious Oscillator, developed and made more reliable between 2006 and 2010, has been patented and garnered huge acclaim from master watchmakers. It is considered by some as a key invention in the quest for accuracy.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Rudis Sylva decided to develop its movement in its entirety. It is rare for independent brands to create an entire movement. They generally purchase a base calibre that they transform, using an existing mechanism with tried and tested reliability.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Those involved with the brand are native to the cradle of watchmaking and can rely on a network of renowned skills. They are the descendants of the region’s “watchmaking farmers” or “window watchmakers”, as they used to be known; they are humble by nature, and are driven by a never-ending quest for true craftsmanship.

 Watches and Wonders 2023

The new RS 23 was unveiled at the Watches and Wonders trade fair which the brand attended for the second time. Within the "Carré des Horlogers", an environment conducive to innovation, Rudis Sylva was able to allow its hosts to discover a Harmonious Oscillator that was different to – yet as appealing as – the previous models.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Almost 15 years on from the launch of its first timepiece, the brand has created a new simplified version that is just as appealing as the previous models.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The RS 23 collection is available in a rose gold or titanium case, and is released in a limited edition of 8 pieces of each.

The finishes are "Haute Horlogerie" grade, and the eclectic clientèle will find in this timepiece all the design codes showcased since the brand was launched and mentioned above.
