Garrick is pleased to unveil what we consider to be our most beautiful timepiece to date, the new S2 Deadbeat seconds. This fascinating timepiece is suffused with a plethora of no-compromise details, fulfilling the desires of the most discerning purists.
The S2 Deadbeat is powered by the DB-G06 calibre which features the Garrick Trinity free-sprung balance, olive jewels and a central deadbeat seconds function.
The new Garrick S2 is the latest timepiece to to join our ilustrious collection. The watch is handcrafted in-house by Master Watchmaker Stuart Smith. Each component stands testament to Smith’s unwavering pursuit of excellence.
Previously, all of Garrick’s movements have incorporated a small seconds indication. However, for the first time, with the advent of the Calibre DB-GO6, the brand unveils its latest model endowed with a deadbeat seconds function.
This watch is housed in a 42mm 904L stainless steel case, made within the confines of the company’s Norwich workshop. The case exhibits a brilliant gleam, courtesy of a linishing machine and expert polishing. A fluted onion crown adds a flurry of style and proves simple to manipulate. Garrick also offers an 18-carat gold case option for those prospective clients seeking the ultimate expression of luxury.
Would-be wearers can choose from different dial motifs and colours, stating any personal
preferences.
Clients can choose from polished, brushed or thermally blued steel lancine or anchor hands, again made in-house, featuring faceted edges, augmenting readability.
It takes around 12 months to build and finish the S2. However, it is the company’s belief that haste seldom yields greatness.
Upholding the design language of the company’s popular Portsmouth model, the dial includes a large aperture at 6 o’clock. This opening grants views of the balance wheel oscillating to and fro. The mainplate can be specified in frosted gold plate or rhodium plate with perlage decoration.
The Calibre UT-GO6 can be viewed via the exhibition caseback. The rim of the balance wheel is made of a patented anti-magnetic alloy called Sircumet. The rate of the movement is altered by adjusting the timing screws on the balance. These screws are set inboard, mitigating air turbulence and, in so doing, augmenting precision.
Whether its the in-house hands or the elevated movement finishing, with this British watch, peerless craftsmanship abounds. The S2 Central Seconds represents the pinnacle of Garrick ownership and confers a degree of exclusivity seldom found with mass-produced watches.
Please note: Each watch is handmade to order and our current build time is around 18 months.
The standard movement is frosted and optional extras include the engraved balance cock and black polished pallet cock.
QC
After assembly, each timepiece is regulated and carefully checked with the naked eye as well as under a loupe. Put simply, Garrick has expended much effort putting in place rigorous quality controls. However, it is inevitable that small variations between watches may occur, albeit this is part of the charm of Garrick ownership.
