NEW DIMENSION
With its incredible slimness obtained thanks to its one-of-a-kind caliber, this reference whisks the independent brand off to the ever-so demanding exclusive club gathering together makers of flat watches.
Less is more. With the Ripples Skeleton, the famous principle has once again proved just how relevant it is. Thanks to this model, Speake Marin joins the inner circle of brands which are able to offer ultra-slim timepieces. To achieve this, its SMA07 caliber takes on new dimensions, namely a height of just 3.25 mm. And, even though it’s smaller in size, it’s still as high-performing as ever. The selfwinding movement boasts a bidirectional micro-rotor and a balance wheel that beats at 5 Hz an hour. This device enjoys a variation of just -/+ 5 seconds a day, and offers the watch a power reserve of some 52 hours.
The Ripples Skeleton becomes more slender and takes on the 40.30 mm-diameter case designed by Stéphane Lacroix in 2022. This holder, with a height of 9.20 mm for the collection’s previous models, now stands out with its thickness of just 6.30 mm and it’s still waterproof to depths of 50 meters. The independent brand opted for 904L steel instead of the usual 316L. With its higher percentage of nickel and chrome, this alloy boasts greater resistance to corrosion. On top of that, the metal dazzles even more when it’s adorned with a polished finish. Moreover, every single detail is enhanced with outstanding adornments. On the openworked dial, the inner workings in action help create a kinetic scenography. We discover the small seconds offset towards 1:30. To date, Speake Marin is the only brand that rolls out this one-of-a-kind layout. As a nod to the other models from the collection, the counter dressed in a black hue obtained using PVD takes on signature relief-style waves.
