small-luxury-world provides a concise yet visually rich overview of De Bethune's novelties from Baselworld 2013, focusing on the DB25 LT Tourbillon and the DB25 Imperial Fountain. This post offers a quick look at the independent brand's innovative designs and intricate craftsmanship, inviting readers to appreciate the aesthetic and technical prowess of these unique timepieces.

Most of the novelties I already saw in Geneva (January 2013) and Magnus & me reported about it here: ahci.watchprosite.com /

Nonetheless I had the pleasure to spent some quality time with the De Bethune "Family/Team" ... and on top I had the pleasure to take some pictures for you.

This time without "big words", but I thought some of you will appreciate it as well.

DB 25 LT Tourbillon with a gorgeous salmon dial ...





































DB 25 Imperial Fountain - elaborately engraved animal heads for the 12 Chinese zodiac symbols ...


A feast for the eyes and especially on a gentleman´s wrist it looks superb.










The following pictures are not that good, but I wanted to show you all 12 pieces ...

















































Plus some more eye candy ...













Once more, the attention to detail at De Bethune is amazing - no matter which watch we are talking about.

Thanks!

Oliver

... I think it is "acquired taste" unlike their early ones like DB5, and I am now "acquiring it". There, I just said that! Is there a dealer (just to take a close look) in Japan? Ken

For such a small brands, being able to STILLintruduce more novelties after a few months from SIHHis very remarkable. And what novelties.....where to start,that sublime salmon dial tourbillon,champion of elegance and understatement,no writing,no holes,just the class of the moon phase and cased in beautiful Bethune at its best,not just a regular watch...but we are used to that. Then,the fountain....there is to much to say on this series,arguably one of the most luxurious and jaw dropping I ve eve

But here you gave us more to learn about. I didn't know the new Fountain was to be sold as a set! It really means again it is done in a "spiritaul" way and not just for "selling in Asia". Thanks Mo ;) Cheers, Mark

are still so incredible to look at Oliver. I particularly appreciate this whole Fountain set. By the way, the Mayan dial you shot is one I never saw before, Nice! I guess the Pt DB25TL is quite heavy, it's technically a very interesting addition to the collection (even if I may be the only one who is not in love with salmon dials :p ) Thanks for sharing. Mark

All the Mayan dials are different, after seeing the fountain watches the Mayan looks somehow flatter. You have to see this set, it's out of this world. Mo
