Speake-Marin Marin 1 Watch Hands-On
Peter Speake-Marin is a highly noteworthy independent watch maker who has his hands in many interesting watches out there. Most important of course is his own brand, Speake-Marin. 2010 sees a new model, and most importantly a new movement - the Speake-Marin in-house made SM2 automatic. The movement is really beautiful. You can see it through the new Marin 1 watch caseback - being able to appreciate not only Speake-Marin's attention to detail and decoration, but also how beautifully it is made. The hallmark of a true luxury movement is that it looks beautiful from a quality standpoint, and that the actually design of it is made with form and function in mind. The automatic rotor has a hidden weight on the bottom so that seeing it from the top makes it look symmetrical. The design (which is carried over to other parts of the movement) of the rotor is very cool looking, like a mixture of classic floral decoration and tribal style tattoos.The SM2 automatic movement took Speake-Marin a few

The AP Effect
This is such an interesting and unique brand. Not sure how the general WIS public feels, but AP didn't catch my eye to begin with. It took some time. And I'm a person that generally sees what I like immediately. Now I'm smitten by several models, namely the Diver and 15300. Damn...
