The Perfect Benc/Billard Combination
The Sartory Billard SB05 Sunfl0wer X Studio Underd0g shines as a stunning 10-piece limited edition. Richard Benc and his team have masterfully infused their signature playfulness into every detail. Thus creating a watch that exudes charm and character. The beautiful finishing from Armand Billard is a joy to behold. At €12,700.00, these will go in a flash, an exquisite watch that has been thoughtfully put together. When independent brands come together, magic can happen.
The SB05’s hands embody a fusion of precision engineering and artistic craftsmanship. Designed with a sleek, fixed spear silhouette, they showcase an exquisite interplay of textures. Matte bead-blasted bases seamlessly transition into polished, gleaming tips for a striking contrast.
A finely sculpted central ridge runs through each hand, featuring delicate fluting that enhances depth and dimension. Subtly concave edges catch the light at different angles, creating an ever-changing visual effect that adds a refined dynamism to the dial.
Another Stunning Collaboration
With a refined 38.5mm profile and an ultra-slim 8.5mm thickness, the SB05 case exemplifies modern watchmaking at its finest.
A symphony of finishes brings the case to life—polished surfaces catch the light, brushed textures add depth, and micro-blasted elements introduce a subtle, tactile contrast. The recessed bezel gently curves inward, offering a polished frame for the dial, while the meticulously engineered stepped lugs, each secured with precision screws, reveal an intricate play of textures that highlight the watch’s architectural complexity.
The crown, a seamless extension of this design philosophy, features a trio of finishes—media-blasted, satin-brushed, and polished—ensuring both visual intrigue and a refined tactile experience. Thoughtfully contoured, it allows for effortless winding while harmonising with the case’s sleek, sophisticated aesthetic.
Encircling the dial with effortless elegance, the chapter ring showcases a delicate interplay of brushed and polished textures, adding depth without distraction. A finely executed nameplate, its beveled edges catching the light against a soft satin backdrop, rests seamlessly within the design—an understated yet intentional hallmark of Studio Underd0g’s meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive visual identity.
Where Beauty And Style Combine
At the heart of this timepiece lies the hand-wound SBM01, an ultra-thin mechanical masterpiece engineered by La Joux-Perret. With a svelte 2.90mm profile and a 30mm diameter, this movement beats at 3 Hz while delivering an impressive 90-hour power reserve. A deep metallic grey NAC coating enhances its striking architecture, where circular satin-brushed bridges meet polished bevels. As delicately snailed crown and ratchet wheels add an extra layer of refinement.
The elegantly sculpted balance bridge anchors the movement, its spade-like form adding a distinctive character. Viewed through the sapphire case back, this meticulously crafted calibre becomes a canvas for personalisation, allowing each watch to tell a unique story.
