really fantastic idea to get Peter as special guest POTW...
... great job, Andrew.
i remember you asked us to watch out for the upcoming POTW, i did not think of this. great idea indeed.
by the way, i like the last sentence made by Peter: "My work is my passion, but that time with my family is priceless.”
thanks a lot,
stefan
Special Guest POTW – Peter Speake-Marin
Hi All, I spent time with Peter during his recent visit to Australia and put to him some of the questions we ask our POTW. Peter was more than happy to share his passion. He is a true Purist and I am delighted to include him in this series. Andrew Ps. Loo...
Bravissimo!...
Well done Andrew - clever thinking. Peter - if you are out there - thanks for those insights, and thank you for your continuing body of work. To anyone with an interest in horological advancement it is important; to those of us with a bent for the Indepen...
short and succinct questions Andrew
but manages to tease out answers that i am interested to know about the man.
Great answers...
especially when asked about other brands watches...Always nice to know what "insiders"think ad what is their favourite,,,I would never have guessed. Well done. Mo
PSM is indeed a great " Monsieur ".
I had the pleasure to discover him during the last edition of the " Salon des Belles Montres " in Paris, and I was impressed by his simplicity and disponibility, even with a very busy agenda. I wish him the best of luck for his Passion ( I don't like the ...
VERY REMARKABLE
interview here i find my self floating with the content freely, Andrew my friend your questions came straight to the point and they were pretty simple... i would describe it as a natural interview " and i so love this fact " . Peter himself is not just a ...
Very cool, Andrew! Thanks, Peter!
It's quite refreshing to be able to read candid questions and answers like these, especially from a watchmaker like Peter, whose work so many of us greatly admire. Thank you both! Best, CaliforniaJed
Really enjoyed reading this
Thanks AndrewD for an interview which captures the essence of Peter. Peter - you rock. Hope you can make Australia an annual destination
Thanks Andrew for POTW series
. POTW is great! It give human touch to this cold internet chat room. I like Peter's answer to Q3: Balance. As in life. Balance is everything. cen@jkt
Peter, if you're reading, this video is for you.
What an unexpected treat to get an interview like this for POTW! I admire Peter Speake-Marin's work so very much. His passion for watches comes through in his own work and also in his responses to the POTW questions. I love that he mentioned the La Tradit...

Thanks Andrew
The JLC Tourbie is one of my fave's too - can't help but wonder if those 2 tourbillons might not be providing inspiration for an SM3, 4 or 5 !!
It wouldn't surprise me ...
Peter is certainly planning some complications for the future pieces. A series of watches across different pricepoints as well as different sizes. He touches on this in the extended interview. Keep watching the AHCI Forum for more! Andrew
Thanks for posting Andrew, really enjoying the POTW
Great questions, and it was good to meet Peter, if only briefly, over dinner last week. Anyone running their own brand like that has my admiration. I agree with his thoughts on the Breguet and the JLC. The Gyrotourbillon is so good that it's almost showin...
Great questions and answers. good to see a lurking purist as POTW
especially one with such a good pedigree in horology. thanks Peter. best Graham
Peter Speake-Marin as POTW
Thanks Andrew for this little personal look at PSM. Watchmakers are such interesting people. It's always nice to see what their thoughts are. And this one is a personal favorite of mine. Thanks again!
entertaining insights
he deserve more success then he had thus far. he is spoken of highly by other watchmakers, and a known problem solver. Andrew - thks fr the interview, and dont you find it hard to hear Peter, since he so soft spoken!!
I agree ...
Peter has experience working in most aspects of the industry from bench watchmaking and restoration to marketing and design, and much in between. I think this in-house SM2 movement will really move his watches forward. The style is unique to him and the f...
Very interesting interview!
Thanks for the very entertaining and insightful read, AndrewD! C
Pleased you liked it, and doubly relevant because ...
Of the La Tradition Tourbillon reference. I had no idea Peter was going to mention those watches. He has a friend with the Breguet and was obviously deeply impressed. Andrew
Excellent...
Just came across this POTW Andrew, very interesting little read, thanks. Peter's personality comes across very well, a great guy ! Rob
