Speake Marin Ripples Skeleton

NEW RIPPLES SKELETON: INSPIRATION

Continuing its journey towards unexplored horizons, Speake Marin introduces a highly innovative watch: RIPPLES SKELETON, a new tactile and sensory experience that enters the fourth dimension. We are all in motion in space-time. Space, which has three physical dimensions: length, width and depth, and time. Time, which the brand interprets in a surprising way. Inspired by the future, the geometric shapes of this high-end creation harmoniously intersect, leaving generous space to the light and its reflections, creating an essential aesthetic purity and lightness that makes it almost ethereal in its distinctive appearance.

AN UNPRECEDENTED STYLE

The case: slimmer and, for the first time, made of 904L stainless steel.

The new RIPPLES SKELETON is housed in the iconic case, designed by Stéphane Lacroix, which is a modern synthesis of the two most popular shapes used in watchmaking: the circle and the square. Beautifully combined, they form the “La City” case. At first glance, it looks like any other model in the Ripples collection. But this latest timepiece brings with it some interesting new characteristics.

For the first time, Speake Marin is using 904L steel. More precious than conventional 316L steel, it contains a higher percentage of nickel and chromium in addition to copper, which increases its resistance to corrosion and acids. Furthermore, the higher chromium content makes it shinier when polished.

The diameter remains unchanged at 40.30 mm, a size that fits even the smallest wrists thanks to its perfect ergonomics. Thickness, however, has been reduced from 9.20 mm to 6.30 mm. This is a significant reduction of 30% compared to the current collection, made possible by the new generation SMA07 calibre, which is only 3.25 mm thick.

Made up of 40 components, it is water-resistant to 5 atmospheres and has a square-shaped bezel with rounded corners, polished bevelled edges and a satin-finished surface. The screw-down crown is customised with the Maison’s engraved logo.

A sapphire crystal glass protects both the dial and the case-back. Its anti-reflective treatment ensures maximum visibility of all the elements of the RIPPLES SKELETON.

“La City” is a precious case of such harmony and balance that the integrated triple-row polished and satin-finished steel bracelet with folding clasp seems a natural extension.

Comfortable and soft on the wrist, it can be adjusted up to 4 mm with a tiny 2 mm button.
