Watchmaker
Peter Speake is an English watchmaker who first trained at Hackney College London in the mid-eighties, before attending the Swiss watchmaking school WOSTEP in Neuchatel.
He worked for multiple companies in the UK, in Oxford, Southampton and several companies in London, notably at Somlo Antiques (then based in The Piccadilly Arcade), where he developed the first workshops that specialised in restoring antique and vintage timepieces.
Between 1996 and 2000, he worked for Renaud & Papi in Le Locle, Switzerland, after which he co-founded and developed the brand Speake-Marin. He remained active with the brand until 2017, after which he spent the next five years in horological education.
