Sustainable development, to which Speake-Marin has been fully committed for over a decade, plays an important role in the corporate culture.
By participating in the Only Watch* charity event, a place where Haute Horlogerie meets medical research, Speake-Marin supports the advances achieved in the field of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy.
The company thus supports the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 15 and encourages the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity by eliminating poaching and animal trafficking. Every two years, the Maison creates a series of eight Art Watches in partnership with an association for the protection of endangered animal species. The protected animal is highlighted on the dial by the artisans’ meticulous engraving in a tribute from humankind to the animal kingdom. All the funds raised are then donated to the association personally selected by Christelle.
*Only Watch is a charity auction of one-of-a-kind watches organised every two years since 2005. All funds raised at Only Watch are donated to the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy (AMM). The association was created on the initiative of Luc Pettavino in 2001 by Monegasque families with children suffering from Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and key representatives of the community in order to support scientific and medical research into this disease.
Some Speake-Marin engraved designs involve such an astonishing level of detail that is impossible to achieve them by human hand. In such cases, Speake-Marin harnesses some of the latest technologies, including extremely innovative chemical etching processes, to create amazingly intricate motifs.
The dials, movements and cases of Speake-Marin timepieces feature some of the most stunning hand-engraving ever seen in watchmaking – intricate patterns, detailed depictions and sublime finishing that catch the eye and take the breath away in equal measure.
