For information call Mauricio at 310.433-9293 De Bethune is a newly founded watch manufacturer located in La Chaux L'Auberson in the Swiss Jura close to the French border. De Bethune started to its watches in an atelier style, almost 'tailor made' watches of highest elegance and refinement, and with a focus on the best possible finish. Without doubt, they make some of the finest watches in the world today. Right now they are making roughly 200 watches per year and have plans to ultimately finish 1200 watches per year in the future. For this relatively low number, they make quite an effort. Almost all of the movements they use are manufactured in-house. For so few watches, they already have an extremely impressive collection to offer. All of the DeBethune wrist watches in this style are made in precious metal cases made of gold or platinum and have the characteristic ogival lugs. The dials are guilloched by hand. The movements are also entirely hand assembled. The featured watch is a DeBethune DB25 L in 18k White gold drum-shaped case, measuring 44 mm diameter, 18k White gold fixed bezel, 18k white gold lugs.

The De Bethune Moon phase 18K white gold watch, reference number DB25LWS8V1, is a truly harmonious blend of Anthracite and Shades of Grey which complements the moon phase display and the black alligator style strap. As A collector..I love the sophistication and the engineering of indication accurate to a degree of one lunar day every 122 years...as it resembles a night sky in real time.. It has classical, discrete elegance. Even the spherical shaped moon phase dial with the night sky background draws attention to itself without being imposing. The interplay between the dark colours and White Gold delicate accents makes this classic watch elegant and beautiful. It becomes apparent at a glance that this lunar series is truly a DE BETHUNE timepiece, complete with outstanding micromechanics. It looks amazing on the wearer’s wrist and the minimalistic design means that the most important elements of the watch receive the most attention ...Very Limited production...Great addition to your collection !!!   DeBethune Black Crocodile Leather 18k Tang Clasp...         DeBethune Manual-winding mechanical Calibre DB 2105V1Self 29 jewels "regulating twin barrel, Titanium/platinum balance wheel–balance -spring with flat terminal curve, Silicon/platinum balance - balance-spring with flat terminal curve.  Triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system,  Spherical moon-phase indication accurate to a degree of one lunar day every 122 years, Silicon escape-wheel*"             DeBethune Please read carefully:
