SPEAKE MARIN UNVEILS 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.

MECHANICS TAKES CENTRE STAGE 

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.
