Jay (Eire)'s post offers a refreshing perspective on watch enjoyment, emphasizing personal connection over strict horological function. His candid approach to complications, specifically the moon phase, invites readers to reconsider how they engage with their timepieces. This article explores the nuances of owning a distinctive independent watch and the unique interactions it sparks.
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.
That is such a fun watch. 👍🏻
For some reason the light in the car is always good. And yes, it’s a fun one for sure.
Lots of wonderful creations from this watchmaker
I don’t have a moonphase but I’m pretty sure I would constantly set it to look beautiful on the watch vs. tell me the actual phase.
Tbh i never set the moonface either on my Joker 😉.
Have fun with this extraordinary watch.
