While watchmaking is dominated by a handful of Goliath-like brands, there are some independent microbrands that operate like David and offer services that those larger brands just can’t quite offer, like bespoke creations that are individual to the wearer. Founded in 2015 with a simple idea, Sartory Billard set out to design and create timepieces that capture and express the unique history and personality of their customers by offering their clients the ability to customize almost every piece of their watch, so long as the watch was from their range of references. Offered here we have the SB05, a 38.5mm x 8.5mm manual-wind timepiece that is made of stainless steel and features a stunning dial with a stunning salmon guilloche center which allows light to bounce across the dial’s textures and colors in a truly mesmerizing fashion. Surrounding this salmon center is a black chapter ring that houses salmon outline Breguet numerals which adds a wonderful visual sense of intrigue to the piece. Capping off this stunning bespoke timepiece’s design is a mirror-polished running seconds subdial at o’clock that elevates the watch beyond the normal in a manner that only a bespoke timepiece can.

Watch is in like new condition. The movment bears a personalization on the movement plaque that says "BE NOT TROUBLED"

A thoughtfully designed and wonderfully executed timepiece, this SB05 showcases the skill that Sartory Billard has to translate their clients' designs into an actual timepiece that can be worn, enjoyed, and appreciated as it deserves to be.
