Created from a meteorite, the DB25 Starry Varius Aérolite bears witness to this chaotically orchestrated force. De Bethune enriches its emblematic starry sky dial with this timeless material. Thus, a moment is engraved where time has ceased to exist.

Moon phase, starry sky and perpetual calendar, De Bethune presents a magnificent perpetual calendar tinged with poetry, combining watchmaking finesse with perfect mechanical mastery.

Optimism is growing as the situation in the world improves. Always quick to keep step with developments, Manufacture De Bethune is offering a travel watch at the very moment when life resumes its course. The little sister of the DB25 World Traveller introduced in 2016, this new GMT model accentuates the aesthetic appeal and undeniable character of the DB25 Starry Varius.

DB28 XP Starry Sky: A distinct chapter in the celebration of the DB28’s 10th anniversary, the DB28 XP Starry Sky comes with its own firmament of infinite blue. Classic inspiration is counterbalanced with an ultra lightweight, mirror-polished titanium case that bears the hallmark floating lugs, giving the watch a modern, even futuristic character. As with an obsession, an eternal quest to represent the most beautiful sky, DE BETHUNE raises the level of complexity even further by creating a blue ‘microlight’ firmament – another first by the Maison of L’Auberson. On the dial’s surface one can then make out valleys and mountains, sloping lines that seem to meld into each other, offering a unique spectacle that never ceases to fascinate. Free and unconstrained, thanks to DE BETHUNE’s mastery of titanium blueing, the multitude of microgrooves create an optical effect that magically plays with light. In the heart of the deep and endless blue, a multitude of small white gold pins, driven in one by one with great delicacy, recreate the magic of a starry night. No two skies are the same: the firmament depicted is that visible from a specific place at a specific date and time as chosen by the client.

A poetic interpretation of the traditional DB25. “The cosmos, time, the sky…when you want to see time evolve and you have no instruments, you observe the sky”, explains Denis Flageollet, Master Watchmaker and co-founder of DE BETHUNE. With this watch, De Bethune rethinks the sky within an elegant rose gold case. The ability to personalise the constellation depicted based on a geographical location and date chosen by the client makes each piece truly unique. On the dial, the Milky Way is rendered with laser microstrikes and delicate deposits of 24-carat gold. A classic timepiece of great purity and aesthetic refinement that harbours a large part of watchmaking history.
