At Watches & Wonders Geneva 2023, we were not only introduced to one new Ripples reference, but two: The Speake-Marin Ripples Blue Jeans that further expands the colourways offered in the original format and the Ripples Date which introduces the complication into the collection for the first time.
The Ripples is once again housed in a stainless steel case that measures 40.3mm in diameter and a rather compact 45.5mm from lug-to-lug across the wrist for the category. Fortunately, the Ripples Date, like the Ripples Blue Jeans and its no-date predecessors, is a sporty-slender 9.2mm thick, despite the possibility that the addition of some complications would result in an increase in case thickness.
The layout and design of the dials for the Ripples Blue Jeans and Ripples Date are basically the same. Both have the distinguishing 1:30 small seconds register, central spade hours hand, double-leaf seconds hand, applied hour indices, and ripples channelling that are influenced by architecture. Both also feature a sloping inner bezel with dotted outer minutes tracks that minimises the dial’s interesting channelled pattern. The dial of The Blue Jeans, a limited edition of 60 pieces, is finished in a sky or baby blue, while the sloped inner bezel and little seconds register are finished in a deeper navy blue.
The Speake-Marin Ripples Date will be available with an annual production of 250 pcs. per year. Price: CHF23,900
