We were wonderfully welcomed by Alessandro and Zanetta Katidja Valy.Thank you to Bethune team for giving us the great unpacking we dreamed.
I think the Plumber, Jean-Marc and Masteur907 keep pretty pictures in their head this appointment!
FX regularly evokes here the brand is firmly focused on innovation, "a sort of permanent lab watchmaker."I understand better the remarks after tests carried out.
Indeed, production De Bethune is probably unique in the market today.Sumptuous dials on futuristic movements.The presentation is extraordinarily beautiful and watches, despite their size as some criticize, are magical and comfortable on the wrist.Thank you obviously handles mobile!
Take some time to discover the production brought to us.What unpacking ...
A small initial explanation, and I realized this during this meeting, as lines of De Bethune products are guided by the size of the boxes!
DB10 reissue:
The entry-level as De Bethune.50 pieces are planned.
And already hooked on this first watch presented.
The 42 mm case is that of the DB10.Superb wrist with its rather original handles.
The dial is superb with this original guilloche wave-shaped.
When the blued hands ... whaou!However, the needle of the date is different and corresponds to the color of the housing (calendar center).
The automatic movement DB2124 is beautiful, it takes the whole dimaètre the case.And it is absolutely wonderful rotor innovative presentation.
Based on the caliber DB2024, which were removed patented by the brand elements (platinum and titanium balance, triple pare-chute) to contain the price of the room.However, the watch keeps six days of power reserve.
Wrist, is not it beautiful?

DB25:
With DB25, we move a step further.The version presented was original dial-term presentation.
The presentation of the power reserve at 12 o'clock is really sumptuous.
Again, the finely guilloche dial is giving a very modern presentation to the watch.
The case (44 mm) sees appearing specific hollowed horns of the DB25 line.Suprenant picture, they are beautiful in reality!
The crown is very original also on his side.Certainly, a lot of modernity in De Bethune!
And wrist of a woman, it does!
DB2024 automatic movement of 274 components.Snailed and decorated by hand, steel chamfered and polished by hand, oscillating weight titanium / platinum secured by a central shock absorber system, double self-regulating barrel titanium / platinum balance with flat terminal curve of the spiral protected triple pare-chute system ...

DB25L:
Always with the housing of the DB25 line, here is the watch that caused a sensation at its output through the presentation of its moon phase!
Caseback side, I remain under the spell of the originality of DB2105si manual caliber.What beauty, what futuristic presentation.Nothing comparable addition I think!
The movement is based on the DB2105 with a 6-day power reserve.
Its annular balance is silicon.Combined with spiral fitted with the flat terminal curve, it forms an oscillating assembly which is another step in the long quest for isochronism.
Arghhh ... this power reserve on the back!
Wrist, we love every time.And 44mm are quickly forgotten!
My Parmigiani is wise next to this beauty!
The DB25 with his girlfriend ... and its automatic movement.

DB25L with starry mirror polished dial and movement:
This version offers a different presentation of the DB25.
The Plumber succumbed.The blue dial night and its constellation (small gold nails inserted specific kittens giving the impression of a starry sky) ... and the polished mirror movement we have lost on the stand!
You have seen this moon?
And as modern and pure class ...
Plumber at the wrist who did not want to make ...
With classic DB25L ...
The Plumber has even planned to polish the movement of his Lange!
DB25QP:
An evolution of the DB25-based perpetual calendar.
44mm case.
Always a silver guilloche dial to hand presentation.
The movement is automatic with double self-regulating cylinder, the system triple pare-chute and the balance titanium / platinum already mentioned.
At 12:00, we find the sphere of titanium and blued steel, also incorporating an indicator of leap years.The calendar reads on a dial at 6 o'clock, while the counters indicating the day of the week and the month are at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively.
The spherical moon indicates the moon phases with an accuracy of 1j / 122 years.

DB25T:
A whirlwind is beautiful ... But when it's quiet, it's even more wonderful ...
De Bethune has revisited this complication by making it a modern look as visible on the caseback.Thus was born the De Bethune Tourbillon Regulator DB25T.
The sterling silver dial untreated, embossed, and in its center a representation of the sky whose stars are chased on blued titanium.
The case made a generous size (44.6 mm diameter) and white gold or rose gold.
When the caliber DB2109, I let you admire ..
The tourbillon is the lightest of the market.Thus, the silicon-titanium vortex is positioned in a cage of 0.18 g in rotation on itself every thirty seconds and a frequency of 36 000 vibrations per hour.It includes 50 components, the lightest weighs less than 0.0001 grams and the heaviest 0.0276 grams!

Dream Watch One:
A UFO ... Indeed, this DW exudes an architectural fusion from space.
The dial is in palladium with matt finishes, shiny or polished tone on tone.
Comfort is ensured by the mobile lugs that fit on the wrist!
Three-dimensional moon phase and more than six days power reserve.
The movement includes a regulating organ without visible spiral.The activity of this body is discovered in the form of a vibration.The tour of the oscillator is in platinum and its center sillicium.This mirrored surface surrounded by polished rounded palladium bridges emanates a strong potential for transmission of an infinite and intrinsic movement.

DB28:
Another UFO ...
The design of the DB28 is fully in line with the De Bethune creations.
The specific shape of the box adorned with the crown positioned at 12 (inspired by pocket watches), the spherical moon ... A clean contemporary aesthetic at the Manufacture!
The dial is a true window on the movement.It reveals the work and handcrafted finishing workshops of the brand.Delta-shaped polished steel and platinum coast De Bethune combine the blue of the hour circle.
The incredible reflections of light on polished and matt surfaces offer a beautiful sight.I'm still upset.A watch just madness!
The bottom is full.Everything is staged on the front of the actually shows!Only a power reserve indicator is present.
A little zoom on the caliber DB2115 benefits from the latest technological innovations developed and produced within the Manufacture.Precision assertive self regulating via double barrel and the presence within the regulating balance of the new silicon / palladium with flat terminal curve protected by the triple pare-chute system.
Wrist, is extremely comfortable thanks to patented mobile lugs.
The lightweight case is surprising.Indeed, it is entirely made of titanium.
An original version with blued horns.Less my style

De Bethune for me is the independent brand top of the most desirable range.The DB15 was my absolute grail ... I think the whole range encountered corresponds to real watch and crazy desires.
Nothing is to throw ... dials, movements, boxes, everything is wonderful ...
