SYE - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

If you're looking for a watch with a strong personality, a refined look, and thoughtful functionality, then the SYE Cannonball GMT Columbus is definitely worth your attention. Forged in the spirit of the great automotive epics of the time, it embodies the DNA of the Cannonball name (a legendary illegal car race in the United States during the 1970s) and transposes this idea of freedom to your wrist. SYE has evolved from its mechanical and cartoonish DNA and offers a sophisticated iteration of its SYE MOT1ON: a ref…

SYE founded by Arnaud Pezeron in 2020 is not unknown. Arnaud came to present his brand on the Dialicious channel in Startup-Heures, the meeting place for watchmaking entrepreneurs. On the occasion of his latest launches, I asked him to lend me the prototype of the new SYE MOT1ON Automatic 24 Bullitt entirely in titanium… which has just been marketed! I share with you my first impressions but also my keys to reading a discreet brand that has not chosen the easy way of the neo-vintage and crowdfunding highway, but r…

On the occasion of a vacation in Laos and Vietnam, I chose to take as my only watch this SYE Chronograph that I had bought on impulse but without ever having really worn it. It was a revelation to wear a completely unknown watch with a design very different from the chronographs that I know. The shape of the case is very particular, close to a flying saucer. In the Asian sun, the striated dial and the sub-counters flash with 1000 lights. At first I wore it with a black strap but once the steel strap was installed,…

A birthday present from my parents for my 17th birthday, this chronograph watch has concretized a budding interest in watchmaking. A great gift for a gift to start in watchmaking, me who until then only had a Casio LCD and my phone. By dint of trying out these watches I got caught up in the game of trying to understand what mechanics could be hidden in these small objects. So I went to the brand's website to try to understand how the movement inside works. It's a hybrid between a battery-powered motor and a mechani…

After acquiring a Bullitt that won me over, I fell for the Estoril temptation and what can I say except magnificent. I fell in love with its blue background that changes depending on the light, its polished dial that attracts the eye and the steel bracelet that gives it a perfect finish. SYE I recommend +++

The MOT1ON chronograph is one of the original models of the brand. I fell in love with the black version with its whiskey leather strap because I find the combination of colors crazy. The fact that the strap matches the dial is just great, and the advantage of the SYE brand is that it offers a lot of leather strap colors, which allows you to give different looks to this chronograph, and the strap change system is really in the spirit of the brand, we have the impression of changing a car part by changing the strap.…

I love my SYE Mot1on Chronograph watch. Its silver dial is a real spectacle, sparkling under the light with streaks that pop depending on the brightness. The blue strap, modern and elegant, offers a perfect contrast. I particularly appreciate the chronograph function with its hand, which adds a functional and colorful side to its refined aesthetic. The SYE brand evokes the passion for motor sports and this contributed to my choice. Every time I look at my wrist, I feel a certain pride in wearing it as it is so dif…

Happy to own this model and to have been among the first to trust Arnaud and his team who have created an iconic and French model that cares about quality and precision. They are committed to delivering an exclusive product and this team deserves all the interest I have for motor racing enthusiasts: now, Start Your Engine!

I fell in love with it when I first saw this watch, and I bought 2 (a chronograph for my partner and a classic). We wear them all the time. They are elegant, very reliable and robust. The quality of the finish is worth mentioning. The fact that you can change the strap allows you to match what you are wearing. I absolutely do not regret these purchases which date back about two years. I highly recommend this brand!

A unique watch of its kind and of French design with remarkable finishes in this price segment. The SYE Motion brand which pays homage to motor sports was born from the imagination of Arnaud Pezeron. The Motion 24 automatic silver dial model is a timepiece of reasonable diameter (40.5mm) with a timeless look equipped with a very ingenious bracelet attachment system, without lugs or bars, held in the center of the back of the watch by a pretty blue hexagonal screw. You thus have the possibility of changing your brac…
