For Denis Flageollet, the genius watchmaker behind the brand, innovation is the tradition of watchmaking. That is the reason why he doesn’t simply modify or improve traditional techniques, but has taken an almost scientific and mathematical approach to watchmaking by not only creating 21st century haute horlogerie in terms of technical innovations. He has completely changed movement architecture and finish to offer what is certainly one of the most striking results in contemporary horology.

The DB25 “Starry Sky” was first launched in 2010, since then only 103 pieces were produced. Known for its work on blued titanium used for its 3D spherical moon phase display, De Bethune went one step further by offering a large 43mm, two level mirror polished heat blued titanium dial fitted with small gold pearls chased directly onto the dial to resemble the stars in the night sky. De Bethune also offered the possibility of having the sky chart depicted on the dial to be personalized to a specific geographical location and date.

The cutting edge movement – both in terms of design and finish- features a five day power reserve indicator on the back, a self-regulating twin barrel for better distribution of power, titanium/platinum balance wheel, silicon/platinum balance, triple pare-chute shock-absorbing and silicon escape-wheel. Preserved in excellent overall condition and complete with its original accessories, this is a great opportunity for connoisseurs to acquire a hypnotic timepiece with mesmerising impression of depth and infinity.
