Yes crazy
Yes crazy But the movement is what drew me to the watch and using it is a pure pleasure. You can see the seconds and the minutes so very clearly and the hands are skeletonized so you can always tell where the timer is at. The minute hand is very long and touches at the end of the dial making reading even 1/10 of a second pretty damn easy… Jim
My newest De Bethune!
The Maxi-Chrono, one I have been wanting for about a year now and finally pulled the trigger. I am mesmerized buy the dial itself and the contrast with the applied numerals, the case also has a great contrast making the whole package unusual and attractiv...
Thank you Brandon
Thank you Brandon thank you for all your help in my “Grand transaction“ to improve my collection to a new level… Jim
It is 45 mm
It is 45 mm, smaller lugs make a tremendous difference. The DB 28, steel wheels, it’s a smaller watch on the regular lugs and it looks bigger. I believe the watch is only 11 mm high so for me it’s a great fit in my wrist so 6 3/4 inches...Jim

A masterpiece!
With a chrono movement designed and built for a niche piece of an independent brand,,, Crazy, but great crazy! Enjoy it proudly, Sir. Daniel

Huge Congrats with that amazing and gorgeous DB .
This Maxi chrono is def one of my fav from the brand . Was lucky to see it while doing a factory tour (PuristS indie tour)a few years ago . Again a excellent choice imho and wear it in best of health
Certainly very different
Certainly very different and the finishing is much better than some of their other watches, there’s a reason this watch cost double to some of their others… Jim
You are on a roll Jim. HUGE congrats...
This Maxi Chrono is in the top 5 of my favorites from your collection, the others being your DB28 Steelwheels, RG Logical One, Breguet 7047PT, and lange Doublesplit that is incoming. Consolidating your collection to add these recent pieces and getting rid...
Wow, just wow to your incredible new watch!! It is one of my fav watches from one of my fav brands!!
Congratulations on the new timepiece and I hope you enjoy it in good health, wealth, happiness, and overall goodness I am so excited to see your movement pics tomorrow and any additional pics would be awesome!!
This is probably my favorite chronograph right now, close second is The Double Split
Congrats on the superb new addition! I’m curious, did you consider the more avant-garde Reissue at all, or were you set on the classic design from the start? NickO
Hi NickO
I looked at the re-issue but I honestly don’t like it as much as the original design, the original design is cleaner and I like space on a dial to emphasize the applied numerals and show all the different tracks for the minutes seconds and hours of the Ch...

It is so different
I could not resist. I also picked up the ALS double split and will What’s App question in a minute...Jim
Thank you Jay, I agree and am enjoying it.
I’ve time the watch and it is also very accurate, lots of fun playing with the chrono and watching the hands on the outside dial...Jim
