on the IG account popped up 3 stunning 10 yrs Anniversary BD28 pieces, what are your thoughts? Ciao Luca ...  

The organization can have questions, i do not know. In my opinion, nobody is a slave to somebody or a company etc. Maybe contracts are signed and have agreements. Let’s talk watches. The second De Bethune is really awesome.

the announcement of the new online FHH platform... In any case let’s stick to watches as you wrote... I love the first one... curious to understand the price... Ciao Luca

Ofcourse the Tourbillon is a marvel but with a very high price tag too . That guilloche dial looks so beautiful with that blue outer ring . Reminds me of the Db Digital

if I’m able to get a feedback on this... a major point for me, but also for many people here as well...

I find the standard DB28 collection more appealing (which is just a matter of personal taste). But for a brand that is as bold and innovative as De Bethune, I am underwhelmed by the lack of ambition for their 10th anniversary. Is it just me? Best, Daniel

for the 10th Anniversary of a watch De Bethune cut the width of the watch of something more than 2mm while major players of the industry changed the color of a bezel for a 50th Anniversary model... On the same side I know more than well that we’re talking... 

I didn‘t do my research before posting my reply. I was completely unaware that DB reduced the size and thickness of their DB28 anniversary. I merely responded after looking at the pics. So my initial reply isn‘t justified, and I actually welcome DB pursui... 

My point is simply it doesn’t alter the overall aesthetics of the piece, it just reduces scale. I’m with Daniel on this one, I’m a little disappointed in this effort. I guess I expect de Bethune to be more creative. If they were doing a tenth anniversary ... 

I read many times your post... I understand your thoughts on how pieces marking an Anniversary should look like, something blowing our minds!!! But De Bethune motto sounds like “Not doing More, but instead doing Better”, and that’s what they’re doing with... 

Are you based in Verona?

in a watch store, where we talked about De Bethune watches. I thought it might have been you. There are much worse places to be locked down than in Italian mountains. Enjoy your day! Best, Daniel

My fav is the starry sky one, it is awesome!!

They have some of the best looking contemporary hands on the DB28s, but these ones should’ve never seen the light of day!

ordinary mortals, such as myself, generally rely on the hands to indicate the time of day it is.

the current house arrest and the increased alcohol consumption I read lugs instead of hands... don’t ask me why... I’ve no clue... 🤔 This said, I can empathize with you on the fact DB could have designed different hands for these beauties... you are right... 

My fav is prob the starry sky one but if I got any of them, I would not complain ;P

Bring your clubs if you play and we can have a nice round and afterwards a pleasant lunch 😉⛳

...also, 43mm? Who are all the giants who buy these? I have a larger than average wrist but this would look kind of silly on me...

...I've seen them in person but haven't tired one on...can't get over the 'Starfleet' design.
