The wheels contrast with the hand-finished German silver movement plate, which has been rhodium-plated for added luster. White, three-dimensional applied Roman numerals mark the hours at the four Cardinal points of the dial — 3,6, 9 and 12 — and provide separation for the areas of gold text around the dial’s perimeter, including the “3 NOTES, 1 MEANING” reference to the musical Triad in the lower right corner.
The three-piece, 42-mm case is in Speake-Marin’s familiar “Piccadilly” style and the caseback features a sapphire viewing window through which to observe the Triad’s movement, Speak-Marin’s automatic Eros 2. The movement’s monotone silver-and-grey aesthetic is lent a splash of color by the blued “mystery” rotor, also shaped like a topping tool. In keeping with the Triad motif, the rotor has three arms, and the perimeter of the caseback is divided into three distinct sections of engraved text.
The Triad, which will make its debut to retailers and collectors at the Baselworld watch fair later this month, will be produced in a limited edition of 88 pieces; the U.S. price has yet to be determined. More details on the watch are listed below the photo; for more on Peter Speake-Marin, click here for a video profile.
