The DB10: Pure Form, Precise Function

The DB10 from De Bethune offers an unusually minimalist expression from a brand best known for its futuristic forms. Slim, refined, and deeply finished, this model recalls the golden era of mid-century Swiss design — only reinterpreted with modern materials and an uncompromising in-house caliber. It's the perfect entry point into one of independent watchmaking's most revered names.

A Rare Glimpse into De Bethune Restraint

The De Bethune DB10 reflects an unusual proposition from the independent Swiss manufacture: visual restraint. With its smooth round case, minimal dial furniture, and discreet lug architecture, it channels classical aesthetics while retaining the brand's unmistakable artisanal execution. These pre-owned DB10 examples allow collectors to own a rarely seen facet of De Bethune's work, often reserved for special commissions or low-production runs.

Crafted in grade 5 titanium or white gold, the DB10 retains the lightness and technical finishing De Bethune is known for — from mirror-polished surfaces to hand-decorated movement components. Inside beats a meticulously finished in-house caliber, offering chronometric precision and contemporary stability.

Who This Is For

The DB10 appeals to seasoned collectors and design purists who value mechanical integrity housed in understated form. It's ideal for those who admire De Bethune's daring spirit but want something that whispers rather than shouts — a discreet companion with a rich horological soul.
