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.
Reading your report, like usually, is almost as good as being there
I love that brand, they have a very interesting style, exceptional finish and a way to create those decorations in a world where a lot of them are very classical and look often the same. The Vision is an interesting novetly and the Signature as well. If I had a GF Flagship in Paris I would spend a lot of time visiting it. Thanks a lot for this enjoyable report Cheers, Mark
