Wonderful watches!

Sep 02, 2019,14:39 PM
 

I’m not an owner, but I think many of De Bethune’s watches are beautiful and modern. Some are not to my taste, but I think they’ve hit their stride with the articulating lugs. The DB28 is the signature and the one I might choose myself.

With a large budget, I’d seriously consider the new DB21RE Maxichrono Reediton. The new dial is a significant improvement, one of those busy dials that looks pleasing to the eye. Very impressive technically too. Did not even know of its existence until your post encouraged me to visit their site.

From all the feedback on his thread, it's clear there's a lot of love for De Bethune on this forum! So let's keep the party rolling! I'd love to start a De Bethune appreciation thread and see what pieces folks have in their collections. I have to think be...  

Really beautiful watches, they deserve to be much more popular.

The brand has struggled, I wish I understood more about why.

This is the one in my personal collection

While I have sold as many DB as almost anyone on Earth, including many that feature on this forum, this unique DB28T I bought for myself. Definitely not the sort of thing I would usually choose, when I saw it I thought "this is the most beautiful watch I'...  

Pretty outrageous, Steve!

I think I can comfortably say that is my favorite blinged-out piece of all time. Thanks for posting!

I remember seeing your video review of this one when you first put it up!

It put a big smile on my face as well! Equal parts beautiful and outrageous

Thanks! [nt]

My personal favorites are the ones on the more classical/dressy side...

The digitale, the sky bridge, and the starry varius are all amazing. Incredibly elegant and intriguing designs. ...  

That Digitale is incredible!

And I personally like it so much more than the original. De Bethune are always tinkering with their designs in real-time and re-thinking concepts. One of the advantages of being such a small manufacturer.

You have a gorgeous DB collection my friend 👌🏻😘

That’s a fantastic Titan Hawk!

You know, De Bethune are best known for their blues, but the salmon dial on the DB 27 is stunning! Please do post your new arrival here as well next week! 😀 I wonder what it is?

I will , Its a ,,classic,,DB 😉 [nt]

This is a toxic thread!

I‘ve been in love with De Bethune since I first saw the DBS with its avant-garde design and revolving moon! The DB 28 is the one I hope to someday add to my collection. But they have so many fascinating pieces, it‘s really tough to decide where to start. ... 

There’s no bad place to start, they are all winners!

 
 By: NickO : September 4th, 2019-06:47
But I agree with you, the DB 28 is the most iconic piece for the brand IMHO. It’s so comfortable with the floating lugs and relatively thin, it’s hard to take off the wrist and wear anything else 😀

Three stunning watches.

Love the third one. Thanks for sharing. Vte

Thanks for the pick-up on my post!

Here’s a photo I took yesterday that I think came out well. Like a lot of watches the dial changes a lot based on lighting and angles. The whiteness of the titanium case also shows well here, I think. Looking forward to seeing more DeBethune beauties here...  

That is a wonderful shot of a wonderful watch!

You know, I think De Bethune Grade 5 Titanium is some of the best in the business. I'm curious, Gary, do you know what celestial view of the sky your dial represents? Is it the Milky Way? Best, NickO
