Capturing the elusive beauty of a watch dial can be a true photographic challenge, especially with H. Moser & Cie.'s nuanced fumé creations. Thomas (MTR) shares his triumph in photographing the subtle blue tones within the almost black dial of his Moser Purity Perpetual Calendar, a feat many collectors find difficult to achieve. His post sparks a discussion among enthusiasts who appreciate the unique characteristics of Moser dials and the art of horological photography.

De Bethune DB25 Reference DB25
The DB25 represents De Bethune's entry in the 44.5mm manual-wind category, distinguished by its silver dial configuration within the DB25 series. This reference launched in 2006 and continues the brand's approach to contemporary haute horlogerie complications.
The 44.5mm case is crafted from 18k white gold with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. Water resistance extends to 30 meters. The manual-winding caliber DB2105 movement provides a substantial 120-hour power reserve. The watch features a leather strap attachment.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking De Bethune's technical approach to timekeeping in a precious metal case. The extended power reserve and manual-wind operation position it for enthusiasts who appreciate hands-on interaction with their timepieces. The 44.5mm sizing places it in contemporary proportions within the independent watchmaking segment.
