Larcum Kendall is known as one of the premier watchmakers in London during the golden years of British watchmaking when the quest for an accurate way to determine longitude at sea spawned some of the greatest timekeepers in history. So impressed with his Kendall chronometer, Captain Cook referred to it as “my trusted friend”. Born in 1719, Kendall spent the earlier part of his career apprenticed in London to the fine watchmaker John Jeffreys before setting up his own business in 1742 at No. 6 Furnival’s Inn Court, in London. In 1765 Larcum Kendall was appointed to the Board of Longitude as a watchmaking expert and in that same year he was then commissioned to make a marine chronometer, later known as the K1. It was completed in 1769 and was put to test by Captain James Cook during his famous second voyage on HMS Resolution. Captain Cook is one of the most famous naval explorers in history and is best remembered for three famous voyages of discovery. Upon his return from this voyage he Cook wrote to the Secretary of the Admiralty (and wrote in his ship’s logbook), that “Mr Kendall’s watch has exceeded the expectations of its most zealous advocates”. He pointed out that, thanks to the accuracy of the K1 he had been able to make accurate charts of the South Sea Islands for the first time. Captain Cook called the K1 “my trusted friend” and had such faith in the accuracy and reliability of the device that he took it with him on his third and final voyage.

Timeless classics give us the feeling as if they had been around forever. In contrast to the trivial and the uninspiring, we would miss them if they did not exist. It seems as though they were destined to be made. This, in any case, is what Manfred Brassler – founder and designer of MeisterSinger – had in mind in 2001, when he launched the brand. Despite the trend towards increasing complexity of many modern watches, he wanted to go back to the basics of the art of watchmaking and create a simple measuring instrument at an affordable price – clear, consistent and balanced. The growing success of the brand is a testament to a mission accomplished, which is particularly highlighted by the fact that the concept remains as fresh today as when it was introduced more than 10 years ago. The name MeisterSinger (German for “master singer” has its origins in the Middle Ages, when singers organised in guilds took part in singing competitions in southern Germany. Whoever came up with a “new sound” was crowned MeisterSinger of the year. The fermata – the pause symbol in musical notation – is part of the logo of MeisterSinger, and it stands for the brand’s relaxed approach to time.

Peter Speake-Marin was born in Essex, England, in 1968 to an English mother and a Welsh father. After receiving his horological training in London and subsequently in Switzerland, he worked at a prestigious antique house in London, establishing their restoration department. Upon returning to Switzerland in 1996, he worked for Renaud & Papi helping to develop and build high-end complications and training junior watchmakers. In his spare time, Peter began acquiring his own machinery and constructed by hand a tourbillon pocket watch with twin power trains, which later became known as the “Foundation Watch”– the foundation stone for his future work – and helped him earn coveted membership of the prestigious Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI). In the “Foundation Watch”, Speake-Marin established his style and philosophy while founding his first independent workshop in 2000 on Lake Geneva between Geneva and Lausanne. The first wristwatch to leave his workshop at the end of 2003 took its cues from the Foundation Watch. As an independent, Speake-Marin has collaborated as a watchmaker, designer and consultant with many different companies including Harry Winston, MB&F and Maîtres du Temps. Since the beginning of 2008 he has channeled his efforts exclusively into Speake-Marin.

Zannetti Handmade Watches was founded by Riccardo Zannetti in 1982 in Rome, Italy. Initially designing and producing for some of the most prestigeous contemporary watch brands, Zannetti brought forth his first Zannetti branded collection in 1986, “The Stradivarius,” which was in production until 2003. Zannetti’s watchmaking strength lies in his ability to go beyond the limits of standardisation and conformity (homologation). Each single piece, produced, and numbered individually, is unique and unrepeatable. The value lies in the meticulous care spent on personalizing and adding finishing touches to the case, the dial and even the movement: always Swiss-made and mechanical. Attention to details, refinements of the highest quality and a unique design, are the distinguishing features of these original timepieces, fruit of Riccardo Zannetti’s creativity and of his team of master watchmakers.
