Key Points from the Discussion

De Bethune's ability to consistently release numerous novelties, sometimes twice a year, is highly impressive, showcasing their continuous innovation.
The DB25T is particularly admired for its understated sophistication, blending the spirit of golden-era pocket watches with modern, unique features.
The DB28 Digitale is highlighted as a distinct and beautiful piece, with its live experience expected to be very interesting.
The 'basic' three-hand De Bethune with a white guilloché dial and blued hands is considered a perfect fundamental watch, with a very limited production of only 27 pieces.
The DW1 model offers a unique feature allowing the wearer to regulate the watch's accuracy to the second based on their lifestyle, with a +/-5 second regulator on the back.
De Bethune's frequent, even minor, design changes in the past made it challenging to track specific models, often resulting in pleasant surprises for the final product.

I see the "evolution" here....

... I like very much some of them, but not so much for some. Mine is a very primitive - almost "dinasour" period for today's DB, but I love it. Ken

"primitive"

I would love that piece and I think it is far from being primitive, my friend. The De Bethune DNA was already there and that is only one reason why I love that brand - they stick to their own approach of watchmaking/design. It needs guts to do so and is rare today. Oliver

Thank you, Oliver!

.. to me, this is the "basic" three hands watch, white guilloche dial, three blued hands.... what more would one need as a basic watch? Wonderful watch - I asked them how many they ended up making this model - the answer was "27". Wow. Lucky me! And those after evolution models are growing in me. It would be interesting to wear one of these. Thanks for the tempting photos, Oliver! Ken

I may have read a bit too fast. :) Superb shots, my friends. Nicolas
