Watchmaker
Peter Speake is an independent watchmaker with over 35 years’ experience in the watchmaking industry. He trained at Hackney College in London in the mid-eighties before attending the Swiss watchmaking school WOSTEP in Neuchatel and began his career in the early nineties restoring antique and vintage timepieces in Piccadilly, London.
Between 1996 and 2000, he worked for Renaud & Papi in Le Locle, Switzerland, after which he co-founded and developed the Speake-Marin brand in 2002 where he remained the watchmaker until 2017.
Peter spent the next five years at an educational watchmaking platform with access to numerous mainstream commercial brands as well as independent artisanal watch houses to explore their watchmaking by deconstructing, photographing, and demonstrating an extensive array of their timepieces.
His previously published collaborations include Harry Winston (Ex-centre Tourbillon), Maitres du Temps (Chapter 1), MB&F (Horological machine No.1), The Wostep Watch (For OnlyWatch), Frederique Constant (QP), and Schwartz Etienne (Phoenix).
Peter founded his new brand PS Horology in 2022.
