SB07 Maki-e
Designed for Versatility and Style
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.
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.
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.
