Peter Speake�\Marin’s New Marin 2 Mk 1 “Thalassa”
It is rare for one man to design every component of a watch's case, dial and movement. Peter Speake-Marin’s new Thalassa is such a watch. The harmonious design incorporates Peter’s trademark elements, and so is instantly recognizable as his. The blued�\steel of the outer dial, hands and seconds wheel create a nautical ambiance which inspired the name “Thalassa”, a sea goddess from Greek mythology and the personification of the Mediterranean Sea. The case is Peter’s iconic “Piccadilly” design, rendered in 18K white gold. The basic shape was inspired by the cases used to house prototype movements Peter worked with early in his career.

Waiting list myth - Sky Dweller
There is some very curious behaviour from AD's at the moment, specifically their complete fabrication of waiting lists.Summary version of events;Friend and I pop into an AD in London last Saturday. Him wearing a submariner, me in a GMT Master - hopefully gives the impression of serious buyers.He looks at a couple of bi metal options which didn't float his boat, only for the AD to say I've got something I can show you but it's for another customer, but have a look.They present the bi metal (YG and SS) Sky Dweller with black dial - absolutely beautiful.He tries it on, says he wants to buy it and they say it's a 2 year wait but I can take your number.Next day (last Sunday) I email the AD I have a relationship with (I've bought circa 5 watches from them since 2014 and am on a list for a Patek 5711, so I am not their biggest customer by any stretch but have a good relationship there).He replies saying he is on leave but will respond Weds.He emails Weds telling me he can get one, and it'll b
