PS Horology Tsuba En Watch Review
The PS Horology Tsuba En is a highly exclusive watch limited to just ten pieces, created through the long‑standing friendship between master watchmaker Peter Speake and Japanese watch specialist Kinya Mishima. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese tsuba, the timepiece combines a guilloché‑patterned German‑silver dial plated in 3N yellow gold with a 316L stainless‑steel case measuring 38.3 mm in diameter and 8.91 mm thick, all finished with a blend of polished and brushed surfaces. It features an integrated bracelet with a butterfly deployment clasp, and its ultra‑thin Vaucher Calibre 5401 movement incorporates a tungsten micro‑rotor, 176 meticulously finished components, 29 jewels, a 48‑hour power reserve, and a variable‑inertia balance wheel. Beyond its technical excellence, the watch embodies the Japanese concept of shibui, emphasizing understated beauty and meticulous craftsmanship. The design highlights subtle details such as the sculpted caseback engraving and the harmonious integration of the bracelet, while the dial’s Clous de Paris guilloché pattern creates a dynamic play of light and shadow. Priced at CHF 18,000 (RRP as of 22 October 2026), the Tsuba En celebrates the 20th anniversary of Les Artisans in Tokyo and serves as a tribute to two decades of collaborative creativity in haute horlogerie.
