So far all 3 collabs are terrible looking
LV seems to always find a way to out do each collab.
De Bethune X Louie Vuitton
Personally not a fan. I know it’s a collaboration but this feels like de Bethune is being forced to accommodate a Louis Vuitton aesthetic that doesn’t naturally belong in that language. ...
That’s the rumour, but I don’t think Stern will ever sell
No matter what they make, there are too many customers with deep pockets 😄
Here's the amazing clock... wow!!!!!
Revolution Watch's excellent, OUTSTANDING, and wonderful video below. Imho we need more desk / table clocks, how about in the $5k to $10k range. We have plenty of wrist instruments, how about other types of timekeepers ??? Photo from Monochrome. ...
It's not bad...
...and that is a terrible way to describe something that should be WOW. I don't dislike it, the little day/night indicator is very DB, even though seeing it move through a 24 hour GMT display makes that somewhat redundant. The blue is very DB as well, and...
Thanks!
The hands and lugs on the original are easier on the eye than the LV collaboration in my opinion. I’m not a fan of branding on the case of the LV. The only branding on the original is the De Bethune name on the underside of the pin buckle - invisible in w...
And I don’t understand the pricing here.
The LV Starry Varius GMT is around 3x the price of the DB in Titanium - arguably DB’s signature material. 😳 So pay 3x for a heavily branded version of the original which eschews branding.
It looks like an AI generated picture
This is not a collaboration like MB&F for Bulgari, it’s a DB movement placed into the LV case. Nice and fast. It’s lame IMHO
First I hated it and with a little time I changed my mind and now I really like it and since budget/value is right out the window on this one, I'll take the clock too 😂
I think the application of some of the LV design codes do dumb down the De Bethune original and that's great! The traditional lug shape, more straight forward hands and markers, less romantic but easier to digest and maybe this will introduce the De Bethu...
Very nice! A good watch / clock for someone starting their watch collecting hobby.
As the clock will wind and set the watch for them 😀
Not a good marriage. The original case is so much better.
Of course the impressive part is the the sympatique where the watch itself is not so nice to my eyes.

This watch is a disgusting abomination
Obviously LV paid a ton of money to DB to make this vomitrocious creature. I can't imagine why they would have done it for any other reason. An embarrassment.
Lot of hate here and I get it, but forget the watch, the clock is the thing. LVMH came along with a blank check and unlike the previous collabs Denis flexed that budget and really created something incredible with the clock.
I'm not an LVMH fanboy but I gotta give them credit for going all the way and to Denis for having the vision to take them to a place beyond what anyone could have imagined. We've been complaining about the lack of innovation in the indie space and all the...
