VAGABOND ENERGY
With this one-of-a-kind variation, the independent brand rolls out a summertime alternative of its travel watch center staging an elaborately-sculptural scenography.
In the past, Dual Time models stood out in the Openworked collection with their flashy colors. This time round, Speake Marin invites to discover a new look for its travel watch via the Dual Time Terracotta. Here, time data is staged in a still-as-original-as-ever way in the Piccadilly case crafted in polished and brushed grade 5 titanium, available with a 38 mm or 42 mm diameter. The one-of-a-kind Big Ben-shaped hour and minute hands hover over the iconic layered, openworked dial flaunting a frosted terracotta-hued surface obtained using PVD treatment. This shade conjures up the one used on rubber-cushioned tennis courts.
On top, an offset small seconds at 1:30 features a retrograde date around its edge. The second time zone display still reigns at 9 o’clock. An arrow-tip coated with luminescent material ticks over a two-tone black and gray 24-hour scale. Various orange- and blue-glowing Super-LumiNova® paints ensure the data is ever-so easy to read anytime, anywhere. The cut-out revealing the barrel at 5 o’clock also plays a role in creating an appealing kinetic composition. And, just like in previous creations, all the time information is driven by the SMA02 caliber developed and assembled in-house in the brand’s Swiss workshop. This micro-rotor-equipped selfwinding movement delivers a power reserve of 52 hours.
