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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timepiece of unparalleled elegance, the new  Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is a lifelong companion that invites  you to experience time with joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA TWIST OF SOPHISTICATED ELEGANCE FOR THE CASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is available in 38 mm and 42 mm diameters. It is distinguished by a flat, horizontally brushed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emiddle  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purple  calf leather strap with embossed denim motif, secured by a titanium  folding clasp, completes the modern and eye-catching look of this  creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE TOURBILLON, THE  SYMBOL OF WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE, REIGNS OVER THE DIAL, WHICH IS DECKED  OUT IN A STRIKING SHADE OF VIBRANT PURPLE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath the  anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the performance of the exquisite  movement which drives the Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is in  action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timepiece’s captivating dial, comprising a two-layer plate with a satin finish and a positive purple\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePVD  coating, has been meticulously shaped to accommodate the primary  mechanical components that transform this creation into a “living”  entity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatented 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeake 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPEAKE MARIN’S MECHANICS: INNOVATIVE, RELIABLE AND MASTERFULLY CRAFTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe self-winding SMA05 calibre, developed in-house by Le Cercle Des Horlogers, the Manufacture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Openworked Tourbillon Purple Hour is a limited production and will be available in two case sizes: 38mm and 42 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speake-Marin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47199547523243,"sku":"914211570","price":93500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/5140126454.jpg?v=1780791256","url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/products\/speake-marin-914211570-openworked-tourbillon-purple-hour-42mm","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
