Catalogue Essay
The De Bethune DB24 Power Sport is built for action with precise regulated winding functionality that gives its wearer full control. Ingenuous and innovative at the same time, the DB24 is equipped with a variable inertia winding system that enables adjustment of the speed ratios of the rotor based on the movement generated by the wearer’s wrist action. Its purpose, by means of a lever actuated via the winding crown alters the mode of activity. Indicated on both the periphery on the dial and on the back of the movement with three level of intensity, H M and L, the wearer can set the timepiece to H for sport mode to avoid any surges of the rewinding spring, M for normal everyday wear, or L for slow to ensure minimum winding is sufficient to maintain regulating performance.
