This is a peculiar DB
with a very dary style and I understand everybody won't like it.
I find it very far from what JD can do, maybe we could find a style inspiration from some Breguet but even there...
Well there are plenty others to be satisfied with!
Thanks for your input Oliver.
Cheers, Mark
A picture from De Bethune
On DB's FB page Katidja has posted a very nice picture of the new classic DB25. I love it.... Cheers, Mark...
Terrific aesthetic...
Can these guys do no wrong??? It would be interesting to see that watch on a larger wrist: presumably the altered proportion would render the watch a little more 'discreet', and therefore even more compellingly stylish than it already is. Bravo DB, and th...
A very nice addition indeed
Hey Pplater, Yes it is a new great design for each novelty they provide. I'd like to see it in the flesh very much too. Funny as they could significantly change the spirit of the DB25 with this outfit. Cheers, Mark
This one is one of the very few from the DB collection...
I don´t like. It is more like something I would expect from Jaquet Droz or others. Cheers, Oliver

Thanks Mark,
Less stealth, more precious looking. Is that a general trend for the new collection? Interesting, off course, but personally, I still much prefer the previous DB25 line, with or without power reserve. ;)
Not a general trend
more a new little addition to satisfy diversity. If I remember well it is 40mm (and not 44 like usual DB25s). It certainly brings something more, less discreet but yet unique as in its style. Thanks for chiming in Z'. Cheers, Mark
Interesting to see where DB will go with enamel dials...
If this is just a beginning,well,we are in trouble...... De Bethune and enamel dial together....? Thanks Mark,this is a great piece. Mo
Yes, this is something I wouldn't have expected
as DB's style remains quite modern (even if inspired by the past). I'm usually not a fan of enamaled dials (reminds me of old dishes from old times :p) but, here, it has another meaning. This is certainly a watch I would love to wear... Best Mo.
This watch deserves a better picture...
to be fully appreciated. DB's dials so far lived from the contrast of shapes, colours and reflectiveness. With enamel, the latter coordinates change probably fundamentally. Unfortunately the pic not well lit to allow a judgement now. Certainly a developme...
You're right Magnus
Even with usual materials, the real experience is far from pics. I'd love to feel it in the metal to see if this confirms my first impressions. Cheers, Mark
WOW! i think i have fallen in love!
hope to be able to encounter the watch in metal soon... thanks for the post, Alex
A couple of pictures I found on my HD for Magnus...
If Pics taken last Basel....... Mo ...
The second one is just magical...
I am not sure about the inclined roman numerals on the first one (they give the watch a 'spin' I am not sure I like) but the second one is so ethereal that I fear I will stop breathing. Its like a treasure chest... Its a totally new direction (for DB) whi...
Same for me
I also find the second one with blue outside and white inside much more appealing. Really looking forward to see it in the metal one day ...
What a great-looking ladies DB
Those are sweet pics guys! Looking fwd to encountering that one on the metal...
Not only!
The first pictures I saw are the ones Mo posted just above. It's a perfect watch for men too. But you're right, here on this wrist it shows a very nice fitting to women too. Cheers.
