Sartory Billard - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

It is beautiful, and at the same time discreet. I love the mix between super classy and sporty. It's you me 🤣. I love the design of the crown which is very original, it breaks the codes, but with discretion. We can change the bracelets according to the seasons. The buckle and the bracelet (Delugs) are top quality

Acquired at the beginning of 2018, this watch marks a turning point for me: the interest in watches has thus transformed into a passion thanks to the latter. In addition to the high customization possible, it signaled the astonishing inventiveness of a little-known French brand, and thus the potential that micro-brands can represent. An ideal diameter of 39.2mm, a thickness of 13.1mm quite digestible given the various curves, a lug-to-lug of 45.7mm and a weight of only 80gr. A sapphire crystal with AR of course. If the Miyota 8215 movement is well adjusted, it remains present/noisy. But the magnificent curves (including subtly domed glass) and its multiple customization possibilities (several bezels and bracelets offered, including a few examples here in the photo) immediately seduced me, for an attractive price and less than €750 at the time.

When artistry and technique combine to give the best of watchmaking, it is definitely a Sartory Billard. This unique piece mixes metals and stone. Some brands manufacture a million watches per year with a design revisited 100 times. Fortunately, times are changing and Sartory Billard is definitely there to shake things up. Armand Billard is one of the pioneers of the custom watch that succeeds in the feat of marrying art and technology. This timepiece combines the natural beauty of aventurine, the finesse of guilloché and the technicality of titanium. The elegance of the marriage between metal and gemstone. The balance is sublimated by a mixture of blues and grays that translates all the colors of the sky.
