KMII's post highlights the Habring2 Aurora, a timepiece that masterfully combines unique complications. His personal experience with this recent acquisition offers a valuable perspective on its design and functionality. This article delves into the intricacies of the Aurora, exploring its distinctive features and how it stands within Habring2's collaborative series.

Morning sun to mask the near zero temperatures and it’s the final workday of this week for me 🌞 The Habring2 Aurora is my latest major addition and hence still gets more frequent wrist time as a result. 

I really like the complication combination here - top seconds, moon phase and tide indication (with the moon phase being an information point for the magnitude of the tide expected).

Wishing you a great weekend ahead πŸ‘‹πŸ»



About the De Bethune DB25 Ref. DB25

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.

It does make for an interesting complication combination and I find the overall design fits quite well in the series done with cronotempVs. Below a comparison shot with the Endurance from the same series.
