That meteorite dial was amazing in person.

And, I agree the Milky way is my favorite as well.

De Bethune DB 25. A heads and tails picture.
By: amanico : September 6th, 2017-10:38
I was lucky to admire Mo's De Bethune DB 25 some years ago, and must admit that this is one of these watches which haunt you for what they are, here, in this case, the gathering of poetry, romantisme, originality and technicality. Poetry, originality and ...

It really is something to behold.

And they can make the stars correspond to the sky on the day and place you were born, or married or whatever. It is fascinating.
Oh yes

I share your concern with regards to the future service of the watch
By: Poky : September 6th, 2017-11:33
There are many independents out there which are highly desirable but the future is becoming more and more uncertain. Will they still be around to service their watches? how about the parts, will they be available or will they require to be custom made?
A Fantastic Brand That...

Wow! You want to own the Lange 31 😳
By: Alkiro1 : September 6th, 2017-13:07
It's a true "monster". Almost 46mm / 16mm and 275g in platinum. So impressive! But with 31 days of power reserve you'll really have something unusual on your wrist. Best wishes Alkiro

Not overly concerned with serviceability
By: kykw : September 6th, 2017-23:55
That DB25 is one beautiful timepiece. Regarding the long-term sustainability of independents, I'm just not sure if they're that much more difficult to be serviced properly than a lot of their counterparts from major manufacturers. In terms of simply maint...
Thanks, Ken. Indeed, you have raised many interesting points.
By: amanico : September 8th, 2017-00:00
The mention of vintage pieces is very à propos. Manufactures, at least most of them, cannot provide original parts. And you are the one who has to hunt them on the different collectors markets. True. For DB and some other original Indies, I doubt we'll ha...
Absolutely stunning.
By: willski : September 7th, 2017-16:02
I'm a big fan of DB, but do share your concerns as to longevity and serviceability. To be honest, that's why I'm not opposed to a 'big brand' buying a stake in independents (e.g. Richemont in GF, APRP in RM, Chanel in Romain Gauthier etc.) I don't know th...
The more I learn about this brand
By: Cozmopak : April 15th, 2020-14:01
The more I fall in love with them. True innovation. In terms of servicing, if any of these parts need to be replaced in 50 plus years, the technology by then, specifically 3D printing, will be unimaginable. I would have no concerns.
