De Bethune ... some quick pictures from Basel 2013
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

Just a quick proof
why I adore that Manufacture so much Thank you for sharing Best Damjan
The modern DB...
... 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
Ken, there are three ...
but it seems not in Tokyo - 2x Osaka and Okayama. Cheers, Oliver
It's more than enough!
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...
I thought I knew quite a lot about DB
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
"It's more than enough!" I agree.
Just stopped at their boutique, to say Hello, a few days ago. Even a short visit is pleasure :-) Ciao, Oliver
Your pics ...
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 co...
Hi 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
"I guess the Pt DB25TL is quite heavy"
Didn´t feel like this, but of course it depends which watch you had on your wrist before :-) Thanks! Oliver
The salmon dial is just superb. I am intrigued by the imperial fountain...
Is this a mystery dial? I mean, the hour and the minute hands are hidden, on most of them. Niot fan of the decorum, even if the work is awesome, but I am totally in love with the concept! Best, and thanks for the post, Oliver. Nicolas
I will follow with some more info but in the meantime...
Yes,it's a misery hands sistem,a step further from the Mayan underworld. The hands seem to fluctuate on the dial,there is not a single hint of where the hands are attached,thanks to a sistem of ball bearings and disks....it's stunning to watch and trying ...
The DB25 tourbillon
I like this one a lot, wish I could see one in person. Thanks for sharing these pics. Regards, ED-209
A few days ago ...
there was one at their boutique in Geneva and I guess there are some more outside ... even in the US :-) Good luck! Oliver
The Salmon dail watch...
Is gorgeous! The watches with the heads scare me! The heads look weird.
