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 describe is a Swiss made De Bethune DB28DS Digital Jump Hour 3D Moon DB28GSV1AN in Titanium round shaped case measuring 45mm diameter. Fixed Titanium bezel. Mechanical  movement, Power reserve 5 days.

Water resistant to watch standards..... Personal Note-- New, Complete with Box, Papers and convenient Travel case...."De Bethune has handled this challenge to great effect as the DB28 Digitale offers a simple but detailed dial design that is free of extraneous dial text and unnecessary embellishment and offers a nicely balanced use of their distinctive skill set and signature features.....The jumping hour digital display is set mid-dial at 12, below a radial 9 to 3 minutes ring that is bolstered by a lovely blued titanium sky along the outer edge of the dial opening. When you think De Bethune you likely think of moon phases, and they have integrated their signature spherical moon phase at the center of the dial, again surrounded by a blue titanium sky featuring white gold stars.... Now we come to the empty space, the area normally occupied by hands, dial text, date displays, chronograph registers and hour markers. On the Digitale, De Bethune has opted for an eye-catching barleycorn pattern along with a small and unobtrusive nameplate. The nameplate, while probably unnecessary (who else would make a watch like this?), balances the top-heavy design of the jump hour and minutes alignment. The mix of simple shapes, strong symmetry and eye catching detail makes the Digitale one of the most balanced and interesting non-conventional watches De Bethune has ever released"..               De Bethune... Blue Alligator leather pattern strap with Tang buckle.   De Bethune... Exhibition caseback opens to the easily seen via the display mechanical hand-wound movement. DB28 Digitale features De Bethune's DB2144 calibre. With twin barrels, 32 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour and a specialized shock absorbing system, 355 parts – hand-crafted finishing and decoration,this five day hand-wound movement is as beautiful as it is capable. With full finishing including Cotes de Geneve, triangular bridge design that we have come to expect from De Bethune and the movement incorporates a silicon escape wheel and a silicon and white gold balance wheel....     De Bethune De Bethune..New, Complete with Box, Papers and convenient Travel case..   Please read carefully:
