Sartory Billard SB07 Maki-e

Sartory Billard and Martin Pulli are thrilled to announce the launch of the SB07 Maki-e. This limited edition sports watch blends durability with sophisticated style, tailored to meet the needs of active and style-conscious individuals.

Kosetsu (Tatsuya Todo): Master of Maki-e

The Maki-e dial of the SB07 is crafted by the esteemed master artisan Kosetsu (Tatsuya Todo). Kosetsu is renowned for his mastery of the traditional Japanese art of Maki-e. This intricate hand painting technique involves applying lacquer in various layers, often with metal dust, to create a unique dimensionality. Maki-e is an art that requires extensive experience to master. Kosetsu is a certified traditional craftsman, having apprenticed with Maki-e masters Kiichi Ikeda (of Kanazawa) and Masonori Omote (of Kaga). His works have been selected for many competitive exhibitions and have received major awards. The Maki-e dials of our SB07 incorporate the shimmering qualities of mother-of-pearl to create stunning, iridescent patterns. Each dial is a unique artwork, reflecting the artisan's dedication to his craft.

Designed for Versatility and Style

The SB07 sports watch was born from the desire to create a timepiece that adapts to both active lifestyles and elegant settings. It is built to endure, with features suited for various environments—whether you're attending a business meeting or exploring the outdoors. The watch represents a shift from our previous dress watch models, offering a blend of sophistication and practicality.

The Maki-e dials of our SB07 incorporate mother-of-pearl fragments, sorted by color and applied in the lacquer, to create iridescent patterns. Each dial is a unique artwork, reflecting the artisan's dedication to his craft.

Limited Edition Details

The SB07 Maki-e is a limited edition, with only 10 pieces available: 5 in green and 5 in blue. Each watch is priced at 12,000 euros (without VAT).

Sartory Billard is dedicated to preserving artisanal heritage while innovating modern watch design. The SB07 with its Maki-e dial epitomizes our commitment to unique, high-quality craftsmanship," said Armand Billard, founder of Sartory Billard.
