The Awake Watches Son Mài is praised for its step up in finishing and attention to detail, featuring impressive handcrafted dials with silver leaf gilding and lacquered colors, combined with excellent Super-LumiNova application. Its 39mm recycled steel case is comfortable and works well as a daily watch, though the dial design makes it wear larger. The dial features meticulous lacquer work and a hidden, hand-chiselled silhouette. The La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement offers a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highly regard the Awake Watches Son Mài for its impressive handcrafted dials and comfortable 39mm case.
The Son Mài's lacquer dial is consistently praised for its depth and intricate detail. Sharp lugs are cited as a drawback affecting comfort. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition compared to luxury brands.
Owners widely praise the Sartory Billard SB05 for its highly customizable design process, allowing for unique dial combinations and intricate finishing details like guilloché and hammered textures. The 38.5mm case is noted as slender and wearable. One reviewer found the hand-wound La Joux-Perret 7380 movement accurate to within +/- 7 seconds per day, with a 90-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sartory Billard SB05 highly for its bespoke customization options and attractive, detailed dial work.
The dial's Maki-e Raden and aventurine combination is a standout feature. The 38.5mm case size and slim profile are noted for comfort.
