SPEAKE-MARIN – OPENWORKED Tourbillon Royal Blue Edition

SPEAKE-MARIN – ONE & TWO OPENWORKED Tourbillon Royal Blue 42mm Red Gold Edition 2026

THE TOURBILLON ROYAL BLUE

The emblematic Openworked collection is dressed in an intense, luminous Royal Blue, offering a new interpretation of its mechanical architecture.

Speake Marin presents the Tourbillon Royal Blue, an exceptional creation in which the timeless elegance of the Piccadilly case meets the exacting standards of Swiss Haute Horlogerie. Much like the British gentleman, this timepiece possesses a distinctive yet understated presence, defined by meticulous attention to detail and sophistication without ostentation.

Under the vision of Christelle Rosnoblet, CEO & Owner, the Maison continues to pursue its singular interpretation of Anglo-Swiss watchmaking, balancing heritage with creative freedom. Crafted in 5N red gold, the 42 mm case reveals an openworked architecture dressed in Royal Blue, Speake Marin’s emblematic colour, inspired by Pantone 287 C. Deep and vibrant, this commanding shade of blue contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the gold, while accentuating the depth and relief of the movement.

Limited to just five pieces, the Tourbillon Royal Blue embodies a rare, precise and resolutely personal approach to watchmaking, in which mechanical mastery is expressed with natural elegance and distinction. 

MECHANICS TAKES CENTRE STAG

The Openworked collection places the movement at the very heart of its aesthetic expression. Bridges, openings and indications unfold across several levels, creating a dynamic architecture inspired by a world without limits. Finishes, colours and contrasts reveal each individual component while preserving the collection’s defining signature: a fully exposed mechanical construction, designed to be admired on the wrist.

This contemporary architecture is housed within the iconic Piccadilly case, a hallmark of Speake Marin’s Anglo-Swiss identity. Redesigned in 2017 by Eric Giroud, it reinterprets the Maison’s historic design codes through more fluid and sculptural lines.

ROYAL BLUE AS THE DEFINING THREAD

Intense, deep and luminous, Royal Blue runs throughout the entire timepiece. It dresses the openworked dial, the flange and selected movement components, revealing ever-changing nuances as the light moves across its surfaces.

Combined with 5N red gold, anthracite-grey rhodium plating and subtle 4N details, it creates a precious yet contemporary palette. A red accent positioned on the power-reserve display punctuates the composition with an unexpected graphic touch.

The result is a timepiece with a distinctive character, whose sophistication is expressed with restraint, with colour becoming an integral part of its architecture.

THE PICCADILLY CASE IN 5N RED GOLD

The Tourbillon Royal Blue is housed within Speake Marin’s emblematic 42 mm Piccadilly case, here crafted in 5N red gold. A true aesthetic signature of the Maison, its sculptural lines frame the openworked architecture of the movement, precisely highlighting its volumes and depth. The flying tourbillon, power-reserve indication and finishing of the SMA05 calibre are thus fully revealed.

A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the dial while preserving the transparency of the composition. On the reverse, a sapphire crystal caseback extends this view into the mechanics, revealing the movement from an entirely new perspective. The signature flared and fluted crown, crafted in 5N red gold and set with a blue sapphire, provides a final precious detail perfectly attuned to the chromatic identity of the timepiece.

The caseback bears the engraved Speake Marin and One & Two signatures, together with the inscription “Limited Edition of 5”, affirming the absolute exclusivity of this creation. The timepiece is paired with a Royal Blue ostrich leather strap, hand-stitched with gold-coloured thread echoing the warmth of the 5N gold. A light-brown calfskin lining and 5N red-gold pin buckle complete the ensemble with elegance and restraint.

A DIAL CONCEIVED AS ARCHITECTURE IN MOTION

Entirely open to the mechanics beneath, the dial of the Tourbillon Royal Blue unfolds like a weightless architectural construction. Its various levels guide the eye around two principal focal points: the flying tourbillon at 1:30 and the power-reserve indication at 7:30. Between them, bridges, openings and mechanical organs compose a horological landscape in which every detail contributes to the rhythm of the whole.

The upper plate is finished with a Royal Blue PVD treatment, intentionally left unlacquered in order to preserve the full depth and intensity of its colour. Straight-grained lines extend from the tourbillon towards the power-reserve display, creating vanishing lines that naturally draw the eye into the heart of the calibre.

Microblasted recesses contrast with satin-brushed surfaces, while diamond-cut edges and opalinefinished bevels capture the light with every movement of the wrist. Glossy light-grey details in Pantone 420 C enhance the legibility of the composition, while a securing ruby within the power-reserve display introduces a precious yet subtle flash of red.

Surrounding the exposed mechanics, a circular-grained brass flange finished in the same Royal Blue PVD creates an almost immaterial boundary. Its lowered geometry further accentuates the depth of the dial, while its diamond-cut edge traces a delicate circle of light around the movement.

Twelve Pantone 420 C light-grey Super-LumiNova hour markers punctuate the minute track. After dark, their blue luminescence reveals an entirely new dimension of the timepiece, extending its chromatic identity into the night. Engraved directly onto the flange, the Speake Marin logo integrates elegantly into the composition without disturbing its visual balance.

Polished and finished with a 4N PVD treatment, the hour and minute hands appear to float above the movement. Their light-grey lacquer and blue luminescence ensure precise readability while preserving an unobstructed view of the mechanical architecture.

THE SMA05 CALIBRE: 
PERFORMANCE MEETS DECORATIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP

At the heart of the Tourbillon Royal Blue beats the automatic manufacture SMA05 calibre, equipped with a fully integrated micro-rotor, a flying tourbillon completing one rotation every 60 seconds and a 72-hour power reserve.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Comprising 290 components, it operates at a frequency of 3 Hz, or 21,600 vibrations per hour. Its construction has been conceived to reveal its mechanical organs while maintaining the visual balance that characterises the One & Two Openworked collection.

The bridges, decorated with Côtes de Genève, are anthracite-grey rhodium-plated, with the exception of the central bridge, which is enhanced by a circular-grained 4N gold-tone PVD coating. The tungsten oscillating weight and barrel drum are rhodium-plated, creating a subtle interplay between cool and warm tones. 

The tourbillon is crowned by Speake Marin’s signature Topping Tool bridge, polished and finished in 4N. Its golden radiance directly echoes the red gold of the case, making it one of the principal focal points of the composition.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The barrel features laser-engraved One & Two, Openworked and Flying Tourbillon inscriptions, accompanied by a striped decoration. These lines continue onto the oscillating weight, creating a visual continuity between the different elements of the calibre.

Far more than a simple chromatic variation, the Tourbillon Royal Blue offers a renewed interpretation of openworked architecture: a piece where color, light, and mechanics correspond with precision.

 ======================
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.

SCHWARZ ETIENNE – 1902 SYNERGY Titanium Edition by Peter Speake

 

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. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

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.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

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: 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

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. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Every detail of the 1902 SYNERGY by Peter Speake demonstrates an unwavering pursuit of perfection. For instance, the mainplate is finely sandblasted and rhodium-plated, while the ratchets feature a subtle sunburst decoration and chamfered teeth. In addition, the six bridges are enhanced with straight Geneva stripes angled at 45°, featuring polished bevels and concave jewel sinks, heightening the overall sense of refinement.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Housed in a 39 mm case crafted from Grade 5 titanium, the 1902 SYNERGY balances elegance with modernity. Lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, the case features polished surfaces contrasted by satin-finished lugs. A blue textured strap with rubber lining completes the piece, reinforcing both comfort and visual coherence. “Unique edition of 88 pieces” and “Synergy by Peter Speake”. This intricate work showcases the full spectrum of Schwarz Etienne’s in-house expertise, including traditional decoration, individually hand-polished drops and precision oven-fired to ensure colour stability.

SPEAKE-MARIN – OPENWORKED Tourbillon Purple Hour Edition

SPEAKE-MARIN – ONE & TWO OPENWORKED Tourbillon Purple Hour Titanium Edition 2025

THE ICONIC ONE & TWO OPENWORKED TOURBILLON COLLECTION IS NOW ADORNED IN AN EXTRAORDINARY DEEP PURPLE COLOUR. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

A VIVID AND LUMINOUS SHADE THAT ENHANCES THE PRESTIGE OF ITS SOPHISTICATED MECHANISM. THE NEW TOURBILLON PURPLE HOUR HAS RISEN!

ONE & TWO OPENWORKED COLLECTION

The undisputed identity signature of the ONE & TWO OPENWORKED collection is the original dial, decorated with ever-changing finishes and details, which enhance the excellence and charm of the horological art. Each creation b oasts a n appealing three-dimensional display that endows it with a modern style. The sophisticated openworked structure, evoking the imaginary architecture of elevated intersections in a futuristic city, gives the multi-layered dial an even more dynamic look. In addition, the unique geometry and arrangement of the bridges create fascinating and unique aesthetic effects. Each timepiece i n t he ONE & TWO OPENWORKED collection allows th e wearer to dive into its powerful “engine” without taking it off the wrist.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

All this beauty is encased in the classic round “Piccadilly” case, a reminder of the brand’s British origins. Revamped in 2017 by renowned designer Eric Giroud, it now features a smoother and more sinuous shape than the original.

All ONE & TWO OPENWORKED collections are available in 38- and 42-mm case sizes.

THE NEW TOURBILLON PURPLE HOUR: INSPIRATION

Every day, Speake Marin strives for excellence in the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of “time.” A precious time that it relentlessly interprets, innovates, and perfects to meet fans’ dreams.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

On the occasion of the Geneva Watch Days 2025, the Geneva-based Maison is extending its One & Two Openworked Tourbillon collection, an icon that is highly appreciated by a discerning public with a deep watchmaking culture and a love of challenging conventions.

The Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour comes to life!

In comparison to the previous models, this latest edition boasts a more modern aesthetics, with a more alluring mien and a more dynamic character, owing to the vivid purple that assumes a dominant role on the dial. This shade creates a mysterious, regal and almost mystical atmosphere, evoking unique emotions by taking on different hues when the light hits it. It is comparable to the well-known phenomenon of the “purple hour,” when the sky is filled with beautiful shades of violet, blue, purple and ultraviolet as twilight approaches. This is a breathtaking moment steeped in mystery and poetry, when light transforms and invites contemplation. This mesmerising moment is made even more magical by the harmonious dance of the flying tourbillon cage positioned at 1:30.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The combination of cutting-edge technology and unconventional aesthetics, accentuated by the daring choice of purple — a vivid colour in constant metamorphosis due to the captivating interplay of light — evokes feelings of positivity and encourages a connection with one’s inner self.

A timepiece of unparalleled elegance, the new Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is a lifelong companion that invites you to experience time with joy.

A TWIST OF SOPHISTICATED ELEGANCE FOR THE CASE

The Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is housed in the Piccadilly case, one of the brand’s recognisable signatures. It is crafted from grade 5 titanium, an alloy containing small amounts of aluminium and vanadium, which has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than grade 2 titanium and is therefore more resistant to scratching. This metal is well known for its corrosion resistance, which is almost equal to that of platinum. It is robust, extremely light, and therefore pleasant to wear. A winning combination of attributes that has captivated the discerning taste of numerous watch connoisseurs.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The case is available in 38 mm and 42 mm diameters. It is distinguished by a flat, horizontally brushed middle case that is recessed in relation to the polished domed bezel, a transparent case back, a flared and fluted crown for a practical grip, and geometric lugs that allow the strap to be quickly and easily detached and replaced. All these features blend harmoniously, imbuing the design with a refined, contemporary appearance.

The purple calf leather strap with embossed denim motif, secured by a titanium folding clasp, completes the modern and eye-catching look of this creation.

THE TOURBILLON, THE SYMBOL OF WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE, 
REIGNS OVER THE DIAL, WHICH IS DECKED OUT IN A STRIKING SHADE OF VIBRANT PURPLE.

Beneath the anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the performance of the exquisite movement which drives the Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is in action.

The timepiece’s captivating dial, comprising a two-layer plate with a satin finish and a positive purple PVD coating, has been meticulously shaped to accommodate the primary mechanical components that transform this creation into a “living” entity.

The bright, shiny dial has a glossy effect on the bevelled and angled edges and a microbeaded finish on the carved pockets. As the light plays on it, it displays an array of colours, creating pleasant variations in this vivid and enigmatic shade, accentuating the exceptional craftsmanship that characterises this extraordinary piece.

At 1:30, Speake Marin’s distinctive position for displaying the small seconds, is the flying tourbillon embellished with a rhodium-plated and mirror-polished bridge in the iconic shape of the brand’s symbol, the topping tool.

The tourbillon, a fascinating and almost mysterious complication much appreciated by true connoisseurs of fine mechanical watchmaking, is undoubtedly the undisputed star of the Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 Patented in 1801 by the French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, this device consists of a rotating cage in which the regulating organ — the heart of the mechanism — is placed. This complex component performs a complete rotation in one minute, neutralising the negative effects of gravity on the movement and thus improving timekeeping precision.

Speake Marin opts for the flying tourbillon instead of the traditional tourbillon. The flying tourbillon is so called because it is fixed at only one point and the construction of the entire device requires very precise work to ensure the perfect balance.

A symbol of horological excellence, the tourbillon mechanism is extremely difficult to engineer and assemble, a skill that only a few highly skilled and experienced watchmakers can master.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  
The appealing purple hue further emphasises the original rhodium-plated bridges with polished, bevelled edges evoking a futuristic architectural aesthetics. These anchor the barrel, which is engraved with the name of the collection and the micro-rotor, mirroring each other, creating a harmonious visual balance.

In addition to the hour and minute functions, which are indicated by the characteristic heart-tipped hands in homage to the brand’s English roots and are lacquered in luminescent light grey, the power reserve is positioned at 7:30. When the arrow-shaped hand points towards the bright red dot, it alerts the wearer that the 72-hour power reserve is about to run out. The combination of its technical complexity and exquisite elegance makes the Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour a stunning example of Speake Marin’s horological vision which perfectly combine innovation with the traditional art of watchmaking. 

SPEAKE MARIN’S MECHANICS: INNOVATIVE, 
RELIABLE AND MASTERFULLY CRAFTED

The self-winding SMA05 calibre, developed in-house by Le Cercle Des Horlogers, the Manufacture of Speake Marin powers the Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour. It operates at a frequency of 3Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour) and provides a generous power reserve of 72 hours power from a single barrel. It is distinguished by its flying tourbillon mechanism at 1.30 o’clock: an unusual position that stands out as unique in the watchmaking panorama due to the difficulties of avoiding the time-setting module and a distinctive and recognised feature of the Maison.

As with all Speake Marin calibres, the rhodium-plated tungsten micro-rotor is integrated into the movement, thus helping to reduce its thickness and allowing the case to be of limited height.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The case back is closed with eight screws and features a transparent porthole that showcases the refined elegance of the black rhodium-plated bridges with bevelled profiles and 1.5 mm Côtes de Genève stripes. These surround a central bridge with a black PVD coating, which emphasises the fascinating motion of the movement’s gears. A further highlight is a second topping tool, which is positioned on the barrel visible at the rear.

 Since the collection was first launched in 2020, many interpretations have resulted in unique works of art. Masterpieces that have given and continue to give emotions to those who appreciate high-end watchmaking and love to mark their time with distinction.

The Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is a limited production and will be available in two case sizes: 38mm and 42 mm.

Availability as of November 2025
Suggested retail price: CHF 69 400 (38mm), CHF 69 900 (42mm) excluding taxes
