Full-Cataloguing
Good to Know:
- Housing an ultra-light tourbillon cage composed of 63 components, dead beat seconds and a 5 day power reserve
- Representing the final example of a limited edition of only 5 pieces of which the present example bears number 5
- Featuring De Bethune’s signature Starry Varius dial with hand-applied gold stars
The DB25T is a defining example of De Bethune’s approach to contemporary watchmaking, combining traditional hand-finishing with unconventional technical solutions. Rather than following the established codes of classical tourbillon watches, De Bethune reinterpreted the complication through the use of modern materials and a distinctive architectural approach.
The present example, numbered 5 of 5, is the final watch from this highly limited series. Its Starry Varius dial is one of De Bethune’s most recognizable creations, formed on a deep blue titanium surface and decorated with hand-applied gold stars, giving each example its own unique celestial appearance.
The watch is powered by the hand-wound calibre DB2109, featuring De Bethune’s 30-second tourbillon, jumping seconds display, and power reserve indication. The lightweight tourbillon cage, made of 63 components, operates at 36,000 vibrations per hour and reflects the manufacture’s constant focus on improving precision and efficiency.
Finished with De Bethune’s signature technical features, including a titanium balance with white gold inserts, silicon escape wheel, and self-regulating twin barrel system, this piece remains one of the most distinctive expressions of the brand’s independent watchmaking.
As the final example of only five produced, the present watch represents an exceptionally rare opportunity for collectors of contemporary haute horlogerie.
