Sartory Billard SB02 Owner Review : Rare, astute and secret

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.
