i love them all, but Dream 1 and Digitale are the tops
a friend of mine, who appreciates watches, but cant afford to start collecting mentioned something i hadnt considered. he looked at my pics of the De Bethunes and said that the Crown didnt match the simplicity of the cases and looked out of place. does anyone have any thoughts on the crown?

GTG London: my De Bethune pics
I'm a great fan of De Bethune... especially of the classic watches of the collection (DB 15 & DB 25). Trouble is that the other ones start to seduce me ! A De Bethune caliber is always unique in the horological industry and a proof that Denis Flageollet i...
Excellent photos of excellent watches
I am clearly in favour of the simple Ti DB 25 and the spectacular and cool DB 26. The Dream series is a bit too much for my taste in spite of the enormous efforts behind them. Thanks for the great show! allegro

Love the DB 25, the Tourbillon and the Digitale. Thanks for sharing! Vte

I'd have to politely disagree with your friend, Graham.
I actually don't find the cases to exhibit simplicity. The cases, while not excessively adorned, show hallmarks of a studied complexity -- see for example, the often asymmetrical placement of the lugs and their unique diaphanous shape. These design elemen...
Daos, no need to be...
Daos, no need to be polite. he's a plumber not a design expert :) he's referring to the decor or lack of decor on the cases whilst the crown is full of decor. i understand what he means without agreeing with him. i personally love the assymetric cases and...
Another official position... ;-)))
I love this brand and many models they produce : I want one ! ;-) Until recently, I thought it would be the DB15 (perpetual calendar) but now, I'm ready to change my mind. I've seen a black dial DBS and I can't forget it ! Thanks for sharing these picture...
