The watch is from the best era of De Bethune, where quality was at an astounding level, and the watches were made and assembled by Denis Flageollet himself. The watch was manufactured in 2007 and sold in 2009. The watch is 44mm, but due to its short lugs and small height, it fits even on very small wrists.
Technically it is in great condition, with amplitude around 300, I would say - mint. The watch has never been polished. Along with the watch you receive a full set of documents and boxes, along with a very rare light blue inner box.
I will consider trading the watch for an ALS Odysseus 363.179.
Preferring a face-to-face meeting, the watch is located in Switzerland.

Edit. The price drops to 52000 CHF, I am open to offers.
Edit 2. Market correction of the price - 39900 CHF

Are independents losing their uniqueness?
Recent watch releases lack focus on engineering and complications, resulting in similar designs. Max Busser pointed out a lack of unique aesthetic code. Original indie brands like De Bethune, MB&F, Urwerk are distinct. Internet homogenization may be a factor. MB&F leads in complications.
