For me, Speake-Marin is the meeting point between the classic and the modern. The classic art of watchmaking is mastered by the teams and the latter is sublimated by being reinterpreted in a modern way. In other words, Speake-Marin really is a 21st century watchmaker.
This junction is perfectly illustrated in this second edition of the Openworked Tourbillon with this very classic complication and this modern architecture of the SMA05 in-house movement.
With its 290 components, the SMA05 in-house movement is a real open-air orchestra. The opening of the dial allows the observation of these components and gives a sensation of depth. Boldly, the House always positions a strong element at 1:30 o’clock and the Openworked Tourbillon is no exception to the rule. It is the flying tourbillon cage that magnifies this in-house movement with its modern architecture and its 290 components that can be admired through the openworked dial. The dial gives an impression of depth.
The unmistakable heart-shaped hands, a tribute to Big Ben, are the perfect size and, thanks to SuperLuminova®, allow you to read the time in a glance, day or night.
