quick lunch with my favorite watchmaker!!!
i knew Peter Speake-Marin would be spending few days in NYC so i couldn't pass on the opportunity to met with him...although his schedule was pretty hectic, he managed to find about 4 hours to talk about watches... here we are around a cup of tea and Pete...
I'm sure you had a fun time with Peter
The 1st time I saw the Shimoda i told myself that one day that watch will be on my wrist. I can't say that I'm there yet but my goal is getting near though ;-) Thanks for the pics Adrian and I know the rest of your collection is gonna take a back seat for...
Fantastic preview of coming events!
Adrian -- Thanks for the great shots and narrative. We'll be seeing PSM on Saturday, and I can't wait to see the new goodies! Loving my Shimoda -- there's just something about that watch that captures the imagination, I think. Is the enamel dial Tourby a ...
Gary, you'll enjoy seeing...

Peter's work is stunning and he is such a nice guy that it adds even

I have yet to see a 42mm Piccadilly in the flesh but >
correct me if I am wrong here but is it just the 38mm dials in a larger case, hence the wider 'bezel' area. Anyone have a comparrison shot of the 38mm and the 42mm side by side Have to say that I'll need to see one for real before I'm convinced, but the b...
case is thicker, the lugs are thicker...
besides the diameter of the case, those are the only changes...put it on your wrist and a 42mm fits as a watch is suppose to!!!...perfect!!! cheer, adrian
Congrats, Adrian
Seeing all this brings back vivid memories of that night you fell in love with PSM's watch.. The rest of us were all staring at the "horological machine", with an awkward mix of respect, amazement, disgust and disbelief while you were yapping away with mr...
thanx Mark...
