Immortality

1 minute read
#wtbasel/ This timepiece is immortal thanks to the agelessness of the dragon, the eternity of the diamonds and the infinity of the time it tells.

Press release

Immortality by Speake-Marin is a specially-commissioned, unique piece with a stunning hand-engraved solid silver dial depicting an amazingly detailed dragon, crafted by world-renowned engraver Kees Engelbarts.

 Although the dial is essentially monochromatic, the dark oxidisation and three-dimensionality of the bas-relief engraving of the superbly-detailed dragon imbue Immortality with a wonderful sense of depth. As befitting an incredible work of art, the dial sits in a majestic setting: A signature Speake-Marin Piccadilly case in platinum with a diamond-set bezel.

Beating at the heart of Immortality's is the beautifully designed and superlatively finished SM2 in-house, manual winding movement, hand-engraved with a unique, swirling motif, which is visible through the display back to create a timeless horological classic.
