Full-Cataloguing
Good to know:
- A combination of innovative design and traditional craftsmanship
- Hand-guilloché dial with two patterns and linear power reserve indicator
- Full set of accessories
While most of the watches of De Bethune do not look like a typical wristwatch design we usually see, the DB25 Power Reserve is their take of a dresswatch reimagined. The present DB25 features a silvered hand-guilloché dial with barleycorn pattern at the periphery and sunburst pattern at the centre. To match the century-old craft, instead of the usual minimalistic approach in dial designs, the DB25 has Roman numeral hour markers with a railway track style minute track. The most notable feature of the watch is the linear power reserve indicator at the 12 o’clock position. By winding the crown, the red in the indicator would gradually shift left, revealing the white portion. The indicator, along with the skeletonized hours and minutes hands, are subtle, nice touches of modernity to the more traditional looking dial layout.
Encased in a 18K pink gold watchcase with signature De Bethune hallow lugs, the cal. DB2024 is a trustworthy and robust movement with fine finishing. It bears the recognizable De Bethune design aesthetics, and with the self-regulating twin barrel, the watch has a power reserve of 6 days. De Bethune redefines what is meant to be 21st century watchmaking.
