A simple dial that belies the science and innovations that have gone into making it both a piece of art and time cutting edge machine ... The pictures will do all the talking , while I (and we) watch in awe ... Silicon Inside ! And where it really counts ...  

Are you having a nice romantic time on the fur blanket in front of a fireplace with your DB25? Nice strap color by the way. DB is really bringing something uncommon in watchmaking, by the spirit and the watches themselves. When I saw the blued inner side,...  

No fire places in Singapore ... Just rain , gloom and cool cool wet wet weather (reminiscent of London) Find myself staring at the movement all the time .... just dun tell me other half A stylish design , I find myself wanting to experiment with strap col...

De Bethune classic beauty.....Classic in their own way.... I quote a Purist friend:"De Bethune is what Patek should be....".....funny but I agree... Mo

I dun have a Patek ! Now that I have a "classic" DB , a most modern piece would be very apt. The 28 is calling out , and ruining my sleep :( Thanks Mo , Merry Christmas to you and yours !

I can believe you spend lots of (working?) time admiring that. DeBethunes walk on the line between modernity and past qualities keeps us looking. Great pictures too. Don

a most efficient watch causing otherwise ... LOL The dial is the most beautiful I have seen (other than the KVs) The DB of today keeps us amused ... The DB of tomorrow keeps us in anticipation .... What keeps me fascinated and as u said ... Keeping to tra... 

Superb are the pictures and so is the watch. Thanks, you made my day! Oliver

and hallmark of a great time piece , elicits such emotions ! Thank your for your kind words ! U made my day too !

Firstly, let me agree: that's a gorgeous piece indeed! However, can anybody explain the difference(s) between the DB2005 and DB2024 calibre please? Thanks in advance (",)

the 2024 is the self winding u see here. The 2005 is the manual wind, pictured below. If I am not mistaken , there are essentially the same base movement. Thanks for pointing it out ...  

to take a final decision which version I prefer. Both are very appealing to me and in the long run I will get one, but if I get one - it will be only one. Thanks for sharing! Oliver

It is the problem of any DB watch... or almost all of them... what is the best side? Front or back? Anyway, I always love the charm of their dials! Thanks for your post! Fx

The care in the finish, the horological originality... Hard to beat. Best, Nicolas

It's dateless! ;)
