I think it is the perfect watch, for me, to do my first presentation post in your forum !

Great watch and lovely details. They are coming out with some really special watches at the moment.

Enjoy!
Andrew

I was very impressed by the 2011 collection...

Fx

Well done once more FX!

The watch face is a marvel.The different guillochage is the "forte "of this watch.I must admit that De Bethune work on their dials is SECOND TO NONE.De Bethune Dials are the best around,I remember Alessandro Zanetta telling me that a DB dial is more expensive than a regular chrono movement!And it shows especially on this DB10.But lets remember the DB 25 or the magnifcent dial of the DB15.

Anyway,I am glad I was there with you when you decided to go for it,thank you for your kind words,I can t wait to see this watch again.

Its nice to be a De Bethune owner!

Wear it in good health!

See you soon.

Mo

You have a huge part in this outcome!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Mo, which kind of movement was he talking about?

A) below 200 sfr movement (ETA ...)
B) between 500 and 2.500 sfr (Soprod, Sowind ...)
C) or top-level (Renaud Papi, BNB ...)

I am just curious and expect minimum B when I look at their dials

Oliver

For a)materials

        b)rejection rate as De bethune won t settle for second grade

        c)hours of intervention by hand from a skilled artisan

        d)small production

The dials on the DB 25 starry sky for example takes 4 or 5 different stages to obtain a blue like that from titanium...and the rejection is quite high.

If you inspect closely a guillochet from DB again you 'll find that its quite difficult to find a more exquisite one on the market.

Mo:

 

That blue De Bethune watch is magnificent.  It is absolutely
stunning.  I am sure it brings you much joy.

 

I am new to De Bethune watches (that is why a private message).

 

Will you be so kind as to tell me the model of that blue watch in your
post?

 

I did a google search and also searched the De Bethune website to no
avail.

 

Do you know where I might purchase one and the approximate
price?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Sincerely - Mark 

a DB 25starry sky relased in 2010.The best way to get to know where you can purchase one is to contact directly De Bethune via mail.

By the way I didn t get you PM.

Mo

I'm not a fan of pointer calendars, but looking at the gorgeous movement I guess I can forget it.

The dial is so beautiful that sometimes I forget the date display!

I like the DB10 very, very much, for me it's the hottest watch

in your collection. The DB10 has fantastic looks with these lugs.

Gorgeous piece,

GEO 

Yes, I'm very proud to have it in my collection... and I enjoy each second I spend with it.

Fx

very nice catch! The dial is as amazing as the dial. Enjoy it to the fullest!
Best

Andreas

I will wear it for my next visit in Koln !

Fx

Wow Francois Xavier, that is a gorgeous watch! Big congrats.

I must admit I'm a bit jealous of your new "baby". Enjoy it and wear it in good health.

I think this is the better choice aesthetically versus the white gold model.

To be honest with you, only the protoype of the PG version was available in Geneva at the beginning of year. I only discovered the WG version in Basel much later after my order...

But I was sure in my mind that the PG version was warmer, more elegant. The WG version is nice too obviously. It was a difficult choice but I love PG so much...

Fx

Looks great on you!  I am a big fan of De Bethune!  They bring together a potent mix of design and technology.  While, I'd prefer a non-date version of this watch, the dial is to die for!  Let's not even talk about my love for their movements.  Just dreamy!  Enjoy your new baby!  I love it!

Cheers,
Daos

You can be sure that I will enjoy it a lot!

I remember speaking to Pierre Jacques about this watch when he visited Los Angeles. It was just a notion then. Now it's reality. Would love to see it in person!

Pierre had a strong influence in the decision making of the DB10. It is the reason why I have to thank him a lot!



Fx

...congrats!!

Beautiful and classy, these are the perfect words !



Fx

I love EVERYTHING about the DB10. If I can sell my DB9 - the watch, not the car, just to be clear, I will definitely get this.

Thanks for sharing, if not tempting!!

Best,

Horo

Coming from you, I really appreciate your comments !
