Speake-Marin Brings In Summer Hues With The Dual Time Pink In The One & Two Collection
5 min read
Speake-Marin watches garner immense curiosity and evoke emotional responses which warrant their eccentricity and uniquely voguish flair. The new timepiece in the 2023 Speake-Marin One & Two Collection infuses a touch of British quaintness and a contemporary watchmaking flair with its latest timepiece: the Dual Time Pink.
Offering an abundant yet easily digestible dose of ultra-high horology excellence, the Speake-Marin Dual Time Pink graces the 2023 One & Two collections and offers a feminine expression of its iconic design spotlights such as the Piccadilly case and the open-worked mechanisms.
The color remains to be the chief highlight of the timepiece and the instantly lovable hue of pastel pink in contrast with the black DLC coating on the grade 5 titanium case yields a nuanced aesthetic that serves the timepiece an unrivaled exquisiteness.
This watch is just adorable!
Tracing the design inspiration for the Dual Time Pink
The inarguable hints of English heritage highlighted by the hardware furniture and the pink pastel allure of the Ocean Drive Art Deco architecture from Miami serve to be the chief inspiration for Speake-Marin and designer Eric Giroud for this timepiece.
Although the overall aesthetics, as well as the mechanics, hint at an industrial approach with refined craftsmanship allure, it is the bubble-gum pink Pantone 700 C color that serves the overall package a fun, chic, and resolutely casual appeal.
This convergence of style, color, and shapes gives the Speake-Marin Dual Time Pink an opulent quirk that is irresistibly delightful.
Piccadilly Case: An Expression of English Eccentricity
The origins and inspirational strokes of watchmaking artistry for the new generation Piccadilly case featured on the Speake-Marin Dual Time Pink trace British roots. As a tribute to the brand’s English founder, this case in Grade 5 Titanium with DLC treatment is a surprisingly tolerable amalgam of an industrial and elegant profile.
The DLC - Diamond-Like Carbon coating not only renders a functional resistance to the case but serves a delectable contrast with its subtle pinkish hues.
A quick dig at the dimensions reveals a diameter of either 38 mm or 42 mm and a thickness of 12.35 mm. The dual-size availability of the watch enhances its scope of wearability. The watch is borne on a dial-matching pink rubber strap with a DLC-coated titanium pin buckle.
An Openworked Dial with Abundant Streaks of Pink
Despite the visible motion works orchestrating a display of mechanical harmony, the dial is well-balanced and legible at best. It is composed of an architecture featuring running small seconds and retrograde date sub-dial cleverly bundled at 1:30, the dual time sub-dial at 9 o’clock and the fashionable heart-shaped hands for the central time display. A generous and enchanting coating of pastel pink lacquer is featured on the intricate dial furniture elements.
The bridges gracing the dial side get a fine layer of black PVD coating to set a striking contrast against the bright pastel pink.
A Loyal and Reliable Timekeeper - Caliber SMA02
As a faithful marvel of mechanical precision at Speake-Marin, the in-house caliber SMA02 automatic movement performs timekeeping duties for the Dual Time Pink. Beating with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and boasting an autonomy of 52 hours, the SMA02 caliber graces Speak Marine’s myriad dual-time complication offerings.
A tried and tested caliber, this movement features a fully integrated micro-rotor occurring as a skeletonized render of the brand’s logo. Its decorative shape gets a theme-matching pink lacquer filling. The crown at 3 o’clock sets the local as well as GMT times while the pusher at 7 o’clock sets the small seconds and date.
The movement elements are visible both from the openworked dial as well as the sapphire display case back. The entire caliber is finished according to haute horlogerie traditions with finishing techniques such as bevelling, back mirror polishing as well as close coupled gradient Côtes de Genève on the quasi-three-quarter plate formed on a multi-bridge architecture.
The timepiece can survive occasional splashes of water thanks to its 30 meters of water resistance.
A Watch You Can Taste Just By Looking At It
A handsome and versatile watch with a user-friendly complication, the Speake-Marin Dual Time Pink is easily applicable for unisex applications despite the dominant femininity of its pastel pink dial. This well-balanced timepiece flaunts horological harmony and balance while being discreet by Speake-Marin design standards.
The Speake-Marin Dual Time Pink can be an effortless conversation starter and a watch that will easily impress. Embodying the allure of travel, this timepiece radiates a positive vibe full of life and color.
