High end, low volume, technical pieces ... Peter Speake-Marin has worked alongside MB&F to create a few limited run watches. Not cheap though! The Picadilly series starts at around £8K. I don't know much else about them ...

There are some good write ups and pictures on Alistair Gobbons site & forum who has recently become a dealer of PS-M; ATG Vintage Watches.

I was fortunate to meet Peter Speake-Marin at Salon QP. He was a very interesting and engaging man, with a big interest in cars, and had visited PistonHeads and this little corner of it, so he may well have read this already.

I really like his approach to the world, even if the style of the watches isn't quite to my taste. They are absolutely beautifully made, and he's extremely passionate about his watch designs reflecting his personality and experiences. As a good example, the "Spirit Pioneer" has "Fight, Love, Persevere" engraved on the back, and he was telling me that this is to remember his motto over the past couple of years during tough personal and business times.

I love his watches and went to Salon QP just to see him, but was disappointed to hear that the case was being changed for a thinner one, it was the case that made the watch special to me.

Not keen on his new one, the Marin 1, Mk1 is my favourite, followed by the original Picadilly, but Oliver said he only had one left in stock, and at the time I was not keen enough to drop £9k on it.

As Stuart says - exquisitely made. The design are a little fussy for my taste, but I can see the appeal.
