Drinks with Peter Speake-Marin
Peter Speake-Marin was recently in town and a local collector, Arthur Lim, very kindly arranged a small get together over drinks at the bar of the Conrad hotel. Watch talk with a watchmaker was extremely enlightening and fun. Here are some pictures of the evening.
Many thanks to Arthur for arranging the get together.

Thanks SJX for the report. What could be better than Beer, Watches and Friends? Well, maybe more beer, watches, friends, F1 Grand Prix and other eye candy... Regards, MTF This message has been edited by MTF on 2009-09-02 21:25:27...
Dimensions
Anyone knows the thickness of the movement ? It looks massive from the side.
I think the specs are on his website but
in the metal, it is not as thick as it appears in the pics. I like Peter's case design and hope he doesn't move away from it too much in the future.
wow, looks a great event...
really Arthur??? i have never seen the read metal, but from the photos, it looks like very thick. hope to be able to try it on my wrist one day, can tell then. stefan
