Full-Cataloguing
The De Bethune horological tradition is all about innovation
Making innovation the very core of the creative process. Viewing today’s approach as a continuation of the endeavours undertaken by the great master-watchmakers of the Age of Enlightenment. Integrating new technologies and applied materials with mathematical calculations and the fundamental principles of classic mechanics. Pushing the limits of watchmaking techniques while improving reliability and comfort. Favouring taut lines and juxtaposed materials, playing with finishes, volumes and light effects to convey and stir emotions – the very emotional appeal exuded by the greatest horological masterpieces.
Ten patent registrations, eighteen world première innovations and nineteen in-house calibres in 13 years of research express the spirit of excellence of the De Bethune Manufacture.
The DBS Pièce unique was designed by David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet; it was thought out and developed in the R&D lab in La Chaux, and then entirely crafted in the workshops at L’Auberson. The DBS Pièce unique is a true De Bethune creation.
