Interesting topic.
Discussing peoples favorite watchmakers could be a nice idea.
You certainly have cool watches though, such a nice design.

thanks, today there is a lot of watchmaker, but they have a lot of work; very difficult to place an order
That’s a good thing I guess.
Most of them are very accommodating though, just need to wait for a certain amount of time for them to complete your order.
Great collection
Speake marin earlier watches are superb !
He made those too early !
It beat many inde watch maker now… unique design, great finishing !

I have never tried the chrono which I really like, what is the total length of the lugs ?
50/51 ish....same as the Reselience. The case is titanium though.
Here's a quick and dirty picture that isn't shot as a close up. Close up pictures can distort the size of watches on the wrist making them look bigger than they look in real life.
I have a 6 7/8 inch wrist.
I am a huge fun of Peter's work as well
BTW, I strongly prefer early pieces with case size of 38mm, before it jumped to 42mm.
My one and only from Peter. Piece unique due to special engraving on the dial.
congratulations for this wonderful piece, the vintage tourbillon is my holy grail, who knows in a few years maybe I would have saved enough to find one
Beautiful trio...
Looks awesome seeing them together.
Good luck in finding the remaining one to complete your collection.
Dream watches Gael! Great to see these three gems.
All great pieces of design and execution by one of the greats in the Independent watchmaking world. I’d agree with another comment, that Peter was arguably a little too ahead of the curve, and as such, probably missed out on the recognition and adoption by many folk.
His purity of design in the original Piccadilly models stand the test of time, and I believe collectors are just beginning to recognize some of his early watches as something to really gravitate towards.
I’ve been a fan and supporter from almost the beginning, I got my first Piccadilly in 2003 and the second in 2005.
I have to say, the Marin 1 in the middle with Peter’s in-house SM2 caliber is one I missed getting at the time. Very few of those exist and in time, I’d love to have one in the 38mm case like yours😉
Thank you for sharing your beauties!
Here’s my beloved…on tour, it’s been across the pond many times. A frequent traveller, it’s certainly under the radar.
Cheers,
Tim
