The painstaking study of the design, the meticulous attention to detail, the cutting-edge calibers from the company's own workshop at Le Cercle des Horlogers, and the excellence of the handcrafted finishes, make each Speake Marin timepiece a true work of art.

Speake Marin has a strong connection with art in all its facets. To mark its second participation in the TimeForArt charity auction, it has created an exclusive and precious one-off: “Promenade à New York.”

This unique piece, powered by the in-house self-winding movement SMA03, has a 42mm diameter round Piccadilly case in grade 5 polished and brushed titanium, which becomes the frame for a stunning "painting."

The mother-of-pearl dial serves as a blank canvas, capturing the cherished memories of Mrs. Christelle Rosnoblet, the brand's President and CEO, from one of her extended stays in New York City, where she often enjoyed leisurely Sunday afternoon walks in Central Park.

Brushes and paints depict the impressive Gapstow Bridge in an evocative fall landscape, where the canopies turn gold, bronze, and orange, contrasting with the blue sky and the sparkling reflections on the water. There are so many details to get lost in, carefully and skillfully painted on a micro-painting, that took a week to complete.
