The Speake Marin RIPPLES SKELETON is a stunning addition to the Ripples collection, capturing both the eye and the imagination with its bold design and technical sophistication. What really sets this watch apart is its use of 904L steel—a first for Speake Marin. This material isn’t just more resistant to corrosion; it also has a beautiful shine that catches the light in a way that standard steel simply can’t match. While the diameter of the watch remains a comfortable 40.30 mm, the thickness has been reduced dramatically from 9.20 mm to just 6.30 mm. This slim profile is made possible by the new SMA07 calibre, an ultra-thin movement that’s only 3.25 mm thick. The skeleton dial – also a first for the Ripples Collection – is where the magic happens. It offers a mesmerizing view of the watch’s inner workings, with light playing off the various components to create a dynamic visual experience. The SMA07 calibre beats at an impressive 36,000 vibrations per hour, which means the seconds hand moves with a fluidity that’s rare in mechanical watches. This high-frequency movement also ensures that the watch keeps incredibly accurate time. With 182 components working in harmony, including a micro-rotor that provides a 52-hour power reserve, this is a movement that’s as reliable as it is beautiful.
