Høstdepresjon

Ludovic Ballouard er en vanvittig talentfull og nyskapende urmaker som dessverre har fått et solid skudd for bauen fra Swatch-group etter at de kjøpte Harry Winston og overtok ansvaret for "Opus"-serien som de deretter la ned. Men først etter å ha forlangt å få alle patenter og overta arbeidet som Ballouard og arbeiderne hadde lagt ned i Opus 13.

http://wristreview.com/?p=15328

Opus 13 er for øvrig noe av det villeste fra den serien (noe som sier en del).
Urverk med 242 jewels som har en funksjon og ikke bare er til pynt.

 
Så på den når jeg var hos Williams & Son i London. Meget vakker klokke.
Hadde dessverre ikke tid til å få prøvd den på hånda..
@Edzilla du skal vel dit om noen uker? :)

Så også Ludovic Ballouard sin upside down sist gang jeg var innom Williams & Son. Men fikk ikke tid til å teste den på armen. Men om fire dager sitter jeg på flyet tilbake til London @BosseSvenson Så da satser vi på å få en nærmere titt på den.

Frekke lugs på de De Bethune der! Gav, merkelig nok, en fin flyt i sammenheng med kassen. Kanskje bare i mine øyne, men flott var de! Svak for blånerte visere.

Frekke lugs på de De Bethune der! Gav, merkelig nok, en fin flyt i sammenheng med kassen. Kanskje bare i mine øyne, men flott var de! Svak for blånerte visere.

De Bethune er virkelig et brand jeg har fått skikeklig sansen for de siste par årene. Tok en stund på bli vandt til viserene og lugsa. Men nå elsker jeg de.
Liker vedlig godt hvordan de har implementert powerreserveindikatoren på skiven.

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!

DSC08629.jpg


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 ...

DSC08710.jpg


DSC08696.jpg


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.

DSC08632.jpg


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).

DSC08633.jpg


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.

DSC08636.jpg

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.

DSC08639.jpg


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!

DSC08641.jpg


And wrist of a woman, it does!

DSC08735.jpg


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!

DSC08649.jpg


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.

DSC08655.jpg


Arghhh ... this power reserve on the back!

DSC08662.jpg


Wrist, we love every time.And 44mm are quickly forgotten!

DSC08661.jpg

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!

DSC08663.jpg


You have seen this moon?

DSC08668.jpg


And as modern and pure class ...

DSC08665.jpg


Plumber at the wrist who did not want to make ...

DSC08677.jpg

DSC08707.jpg

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.

DSC08678.jpg


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.

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.

DSC08691.jpg


When the caliber DB2109, I let you admire ..

DSC08687.jpg


DSC08689.jpg


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!

DSC08672.jpg


Three-dimensional moon phase and more than six days power reserve.

DSC08673.jpg


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!

DSC08628.jpg


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.

DSC08739.jpg


The incredible reflections of light on polished and matt surfaces offer a beautiful sight.I'm still upset.A watch just madness!

DSC08717.jpg


The bottom is full.Everything is staged on the front of the actually shows!Only a power reserve indicator is present.

DSC08720.jpg


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.

DSC08726.jpg


Wrist, is extremely comfortable thanks to patented mobile lugs.
The lightweight case is surprising.Indeed, it is entirely made of titanium.

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 ...
 
Takk for at du stadig presenterer nye, fantastiske drømmeobjekter, @Edzilla! Skal virkelig se nærmere på De Bethune heretter! :)

Viktig å drømme litt i hverdagen. Frykter at De Bethune DB25 med en startpris på 36.000 britiske pund forblir kun en våt drøm @pbrekke
Men likeså er de utrolig vakre.

Kun én arbeidsdag igjen til vi sitter på morgenflyet til London. Kalenderen er full med bookinger til lunsj og middag. Samt planer om turer innom ett par AD'er. Fordel ved å bo hos The Westbury er avstanden til Williams & Son og Marcus er under på hhv 100 og 180 meter fra Hotellet. Man kan altså snike seg ut en tur mens madamen pudrer nesa.

Når det gjelder opp ned klokken burde 9 og 6 fått en bedre indikasjon. 3 timer for sent er på ingen måte fasjonabelt og tretimer for tidlig er i beste fall anstrengende.

Tuller litt, men blir jo litt crazy hours så sikkert lett å mistolke.

Fantastiske løsninger like fullt

Det korte svaret er at jeg ikke er enig @Entropy . Å det er ikke tull :cool:
Klarer lett å skille mellom høyre og venstre side av urskiven. Indikasjonen er jo klinkende klar. Det er jo en dott som er plassert ved siden av tallet med rettning inn mot senter av urskiven.
Perfekt spør du meg.

Mens vi nyter bildene av Ludovic Ballouard´s upside down så kan man lyttet til Black Atlass for de som har blitt lei panfløyta tll Kygo og Matoma (he he he)
