Independents

I'm very happy to present you my latest baby, a watch which seduced me when I first saw it in London: the Spirit Pioneer by Peter Speake-Marin. I will not describe you the watch, I will just tell you why I bought it. I bought it because I love its design ...  

Congratulations on this fine piece you obtained. I had never seen this one and i 'fear' i will have to see it in the flesh, can you post some more pics with different views or are you going for an in-depth one of these days ? Did you have coffee at "La ma... 

But I have more of the watch I saw in London. The review will come but I have several urgent things to deal with before... Thanks for your patience and for your words Filip! Fx

And they contribute a lot to its strange beauty! Thanks for your message! Fx

Congratulations on such a great choice! Lately I too have been drawned to PSM after having been exposed to them during IGOTT2. Enjoy and I look forward to checking out your upcoming detailed post. All the best, Alex

I hope to introduce it to you very soon, with your Simplicity, it would be a nice independant duet! Fr.Xavier

that one watch amateur can find a timepiece that closely comes in resonance with him. We have many watches that we could really love but it can happen without having the feeling that it fully matches with our tastes. Happy you seemed to find this one and ... 

Your kind words oblige me to do the review more quickly than expected! Fx

Thanks for sharing a view of it on your wrist, and thanks for sharing what it means to you. I've only had the pleasure to speak briefly with Peter (at IGOTT2). Even in my brief encounter with him, his charm was impossible to miss. And he is by my standard... 

The people around me love this watch! It has something special! Fx

You know, sometimes, it is not the most complicated that are the most attractive. This one has something really rare: soul! Fx

Congrats...very nice piece I spoke to Peter on several occasions. He is a really nice person and I like his watches. The Spirit was my first PSM piece. I'd like to pick up a few more pieces, but got to save up for those. Enjoy. Cory

Don't hesitate to post pics of yours! Fx

Stunning Xavier, enjoy it in the best of health! Stephen

Even if it is not a PT one, I really appreciate it! Fx

So happy that you finally shared the news with all! I was so pleased when you mentioned that you had picked this PSM. It is a bold choice, and the dial perfectly compliments Peter's signature case. I was so excited to hear Peter speak at IGOTT, and he was... 

More pics and comments soon! Fx

Peter and his creations hold a special place for me. May your watch time only happy moments. What number did you choose?

Actually the watch doesn't have a specific number: it is a LE of 68 watches and each one is "1 in 68". But there is also the SMS range between 260 and 327 if I'm not wrong. I chose number 297 because I was born the 29th of July... Fx

Congrats FX on your purchase. It is a great watch and PSM is a nice guy (its good to buy watches from nice people). Looking forward to seeing your review when things have quietened down. Andrew

Sory but you miss the watch for only onde day in Geneva... Fx

Congrats, FX -- I had my first chance to see this watch last week, and it looks great. I agree with you that the story behind the watch is compelling as well -- Peter does put a lot of himself into his watches, and I know that many of us find that a very ...

Great and interesting choice. I am amazed at Speake-Marins range: producing such disparate pieces yet unmistakably his style. Enjoy! Best Andreas

Maybe I will wear it next time I will be in Koln! Fx

my friend. Congrats! Oliver

Congrats FX!! The Spirit as you said has a very special meaning, and personally to Peter as well. It's a gorgeous watch such that the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes! I see you've been concentrating on Independents lately! I totally und... 

I believe that for me independant watchmaking is a logical move... I'm looking for watches with personal backgrounds... Fx

...and you bought it for all the right reasons. Already a classic. Can't wait to see it in the flesh... at Basel... ?

Sory I couldn't show it to you last Monday... I got it on Friday! Fx

Looks great and congrats on your new watch. A great way to start 2012! Regards, ED-209

Your new watch looks very good and I hope that you still own it in many years time. Cronolust

It's great to see good indie watchmaker getting the support they need. I wasn't so sure about the spirit personally but it looks great on your wrist. I am happy you enjoy this piece so much. Here's a brother saying hello Congratulations on your new watch....
