Administrators TimeTexas Posted October 5, 2023 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2023 Entire article here: https://revolutionwatch.com/sartory-billard-sb08-jump-hour-and-minutes-with-tourbillon/ Armand is endeavoring to undertake an incredibly challenging project - the development of a tourbillion that incorporates a one minute remontoir that lets 3 discs for a jumping hours and minutes display. This is a remarkable project and I'm excited to watch it unfold. It is also a great opportunity to look into the design and development process. Interestingly, Sartory Billard is primarily known these days for the current SB04 and 05 models. From the article it seems the previous models didn't have widespread appeal. But I think Armand may have been a little ahead of his time with those designs. With the increase in attention in independent brands over the last few years, I actually think those would be very popular. But there is also a definite move by many of the smaller independents to move upmarket and this is an enormous step for Armand. Knowing his dedication and willingness to work, I'm certain it will be a success. I look forward to following the journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators TimeTexas Posted February 5 Author Administrators Share Posted February 5 As part of the story of the SB08, the SBO6, which many of you have seen released by @cronotempvs and posted on IG by numerous great collectors. Here's an article about the SB06, which was one stage in the process. https://revolutionwatch.com/sartory-billard-sb06-flying-tourbillon/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators TimeTexas Posted February 5 Author Administrators Share Posted February 5 And here's Part II of the SB08 series from Revolution. https://revolutionwatch.com/sartory-billard-sb06-flying-tourbillon/ This is highly technical, but it is a remarkable movement. Armand is working with movement developer Mathieu Cleguer to design this fascinating complication. I'm honestly going to have to read back through this article slowly to better understand it. This is a great look at the iterative process of movement development and definitely worth the read. I'm in awe of developing a new movement, especially something as complicated as this. But I have a cursory level understanding at best. Any movement hounds out there have thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
