SCHWARZ ETIENNE – 1902 SYNERGY by Peter Speake Titanium 38mm Edition 2026
SYNERGY by Peter Speake
Independent watchmaker, Peter Speake develops a deeply personal approach to creation. His work is distinguished by a strong and immediately recognizable graphic language, placing the watch within an emotional dimension. With SYNERGY, born from a co-signature with Schwarz Etienne, he crafts pieces with a strong identity, where English artistic vision and Swiss watchmaking expertise meet with precision, challenging conventions and redefining the art of watchmaking.

The watchmaking expertise of the Manufacture, combined with Peter Speake’s vision, unfolds through a multi-level dial construction conceived to enhance depth and create a subtle floating effect through shaped sapphire crystal. The Prussian blue lancine hands, the house’s signature, indicate the hours and minutes with perfectly balanced proportions.
Following the success of its inaugural SYNERGY creations, Schwarz Etienne introduces a new chapter in collaborative watchmaking: the 1902 SYNERGY by Peter Speake. This limited edition embodies the Maison’s philosophy of co-authorship, establishing a true dialogue between two distinct horological identities.

At its core, SYNERGY is about uniting cultures, craftsmanship, and creative perspectives into a single timepiece. For this edition, Peter Speake was invited to reinterpret the Manufacture’s 1902 Réserve de Marche, infusing it with his unmistakable design language while remaining faithful to the technical and aesthetic DNA of Schwarz Etienne.
A DIAL DEFINED BY DEPTH AND LIGHT
The 1902 SYNERGY immediately distinguishes itself through its intricate, multi-layered dial architecture. Structured sapphire crystal elements, some as thin as 0.35 mm, create a sense of depth, giving the illusion of a floating composition.

Building on this sense of depth, an interplay of matte white lacquer, polished finishes and Prussian blue accents shapes the watch’s visual identity. Applied indices, lancine-style hands and a finely executed chemin de fer, punctuated with subtle Cayenne orange accents, introduce rhythm and contrast, while layered sapphire elements capture and diffuse light.

The upper quadrant houses a power reserve indicator with azurage finishing, animated by a serpentine hand, a signature detail of Speake’s work. At the center, a transparent sapphire plate carries the Manufacture’s name in three-dimensional form, revealing beneath it a small seconds display integrated into the base dial.

At the centre of the dial, a further pane of transparent sapphire crystal plays host to the manufacture’s name, rendered in three-dimensional Prussian blue text. Executed with extreme precision, the machining allows millimetre‑perfect drillings, ensuring the polished and blued logo is mounted flawlessly.

The upper-right quadrant features a power reserve indicator, composed of an ice-white semi-circular section with azurage decoration, bordered by a Prussian blue and ice-white track. Close examination of this track reveals a discreet signature, almost hidden in plain sight. From there, the blue serpentine hand begins its journey, indicating the energy stored within the twin barrels and echoing a signature element of Peter’s work.
EXCELLENCE, INSIDE AND OUT
Inspired by historic pocket watch movements, the calibre MSE 311.00 is a hand-wound movement with a distinctive six‑bridge design. As part of the SYNERGY collection, this exclusive piece is distinguished by an intense Prussian blue, dear to Peter Speake. Its ratchet wheels feature high‑definition engravings, filled by hand with blue lacquer:

The movement’s finishing reflects the highest standards of traditional watchmaking. Geneva stripes angled at 45°, polished bevels, sandblasted and rhodium-plated surfaces define its aesthetic, while engraved ratchet wheels are filled with blue lacquer. Limited to just 88 pieces, the edition subtly references the number 8 as a symbol of prosperity and balance.
