The Pick Of WatchPro 2021

The highlight of the London horological calendar, WatchPro Salon is a spectacular showcase of the latest collections that takes place every autumn. Here are SPHERE's selections of which brands really impressed us on close inspection....

Speake Marin (pictured above)
Direct from their headquarters in Champel, Geneva, Speake Marin have prided themselves on their independence. For almost 20 years, they have specialised in ‘belle horlogerie’, they work only in Swiss-made limited editions, complete only with inhouse movements. The One&Two Openworked Tourbillon is an exemplary example of their craftsmanship - note how the tourbillon cage at 1.30 balances the barrel at 10.00 and the micro-rotor at 5.30.

Combining handicraft, technical knowledge, the rose gold case is available in a limited edition of 100 (with a hand painted number) and features a new inhouse movement and a more modern case.
