Following the success of the Speake-Marin Ripples now comes a Skeleton iteration of this watch fitted with an integrated bracelet. The new Ripples Skeleton is an absolute first at Speake Marin with the new innovative automatic ultra-thin Skeleton calibre SMA07 at just 3.25 mm. Equipped with an integrated micro-rotor and a balance wheel beating at 36,000 vph this cutting-edge movement powers the brand’s latest creation and one of the nicest open-worked watches of 2024, we had the pleasure of perusing the watch in the metal during Geneva Watch Days a few days ago.
