Dear Andrew
Allow me to clap my hands and tip my hat for your post , your interview shows a high communication skills that you have ... something for me couldn't be overlooked even with such a massive post .
i would call this post a qualitative post by all the means, peter him self is a GENTELMAN of QUALITY a transparent watch maker who is simply him self not a common thing to find a watch maker who in front of press is THE NATURAL MAN & the WATCHMAKER , the man is so transparent that i ran the interview for couple of times to pick up on a GEEKY marketing spark.... but its never there what's on the mans mind and heart is what being said by his tongue as simple as that .
Again i would love to thank you Andrew and thank Peter for the interview, it went even beyond a beautiful read it just gives some new dimensions to view things from.
and for a sport watch or lets say a MORE casual which is in the making some how im looking forward to it with alot of excitement .

My opinion of the SM2 movement and the new Speake-Marin’s …
Hi All, I must tell you that I was very impressed with the SM2 movement and indeed the Marin1 and Thalassa* (aka Marin 2). It’s a very ‘balanced’ movement; nothing stands out as being under- or over-done. I prefer the manual wind Thalassa because you can ...
Well done Andrew...
fantastic and informative interview. Compliments to Peter again for his passion and the new thalassa which is a marvel to me. Mo
A marvel to me too, Mo ...
I am very impressed with the Thalassa. I had to separate myself a little from the pleasure of meeting Peter and talking about his watches, from a critical analysis of the timepieces. [And to be fair, perhaps I shouldn't do this completely, because working...
Hopefully it will be very soon,
sorry late reply Andrew,probably I will be able to handle one in the next few weeks. I wont miss the chance to take extra pics and express my in metal opinion. Can t wait. Mo
Great interview Andrew.
The passion is so palpable with PSM.( as it is with you as well) It was a pleasure meeting you and all the other PPro members. Julian
Fantastic read, Andrew!
Your interview with PSM was very enlightening. He seems like a great guy who really loves what he does. I love the inventive dials on the new Marin 1 open-dial and Thalassa. PSM watches ooze style that you can see from miles away. He is one of my favorite...
The thinner Thalassa case ...
... sits more comfortably on my wrist. The slope of the lugs on the thicker Marin 1's are just not quite right for me. Now this is all very fortunate, because I loved the striking blue dial and the date display and the manual wind SM2 on the Thalassa, so ...
Terrific post !
I think you somehow managed to aske Peter every question I had running thru my mind. And thank's to Peter for being so open and approachable, I bet the interview was a lot of fun Michael
Fabulous interview
Thanks for bringing to light more of the man and giving a picture which I think is totally representative of the man. He is absolutely the sort of guy you want to have a beer with after work I think that Australia gets forgotten a bit in terms of the watc...
Developing markets ...
Thanks Aptronym, Peter is definitely ‘what you see is what you get’. And I agree that Australia is a bit of a forgotten destination for the high end industry, but an untapped market. Strong economic growth and good buying power with the streng...
Thanks for this Andrew
A really interesting and thorough interview. Peter sounds like a very passionate guy - full of energy and ideas. Really looking forward to see what he can come up with next.

Valuable insight ...
Hi Faisal, I am pleased you enjoyed the interview. Peter is indeed a gentleman who feels compelled to create watches that people will respond to, but also to explain his passion to others. I guess that if he has a marketing ‘angle’, it is to m...
Thanks a lot Andrew !
I love the Thalassa ! Congrats to Peter for this great achievement ! Fr.Xavier
Very interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to interview Peter. Considering that he was probably in Melbourne for less than 24 hours and on only a few hours sleep from the night before, it says a lot about the kind of man he is. Regards, Richard.
