De Bethune unveiled the DB25 IX Maya in 2012, on the occasion of humankind’s symbolic passage into the 9th underworld predicted by the Mayan calendar and the result is nothing short of astounding.
De Bethune created 12 watches, each with a different and unique engraved dial using the Mayan symbiology representing the advent of the 9th Underworld.
Better known for its cutting edge designs, De Bethune used its signature DB25 case to frame the incredible engraved yellow gold dial subtly mixing hand engraving by the talented Michèle Rothen and laser engraving. The result being a potent cocktail of avant garde meeting tradition, a savant mélange of cultures with the outcome being an achingly gorgeous timepiece in which one can spend literally hours admiring the dial (or the movement on that matter).
To enable an unobstructed view of the dial, the hands are made of sapphire, blued elements add a dash of oomph to the whole.
The movement on the other hand is completely futuristic in its aspect , fully mirror polished featuring De Bethune’s signature technical innovations such as self regulating twin barrel, silicon/palladium balance wheel, balance with flat terminal curve and triple pare chute shock absorbing system. The icing on the cake is the 6-day power reserve.
A true work of art - this unique masterpiece demonstrates De Bethune's artistic and technical mastery.
