The DB25 Collection: Bridging Classic Inspiration with Futuristic Vision

The De Bethune DB25 collection channels the brand's deep reverence for horological tradition through a contemporary lens. Recognized for its symmetry, intricate dial work, and mechanical refinement, each DB25 watch is a distillation of De Bethune's philosophy: to create poetic, technically sophisticated timepieces. From astronomical complications to moonphase indicators and ultra-slim calibers, the DB25 is for collectors who value design purity, in-house mastery, and a unique expression of mechanical artistry.

De Bethune DB25: Celestial Craft and Horological Mastery

The De Bethune DB25 collection is a poetic expression of the brand's horological philosophy—uniting 21st-century engineering with celestial inspiration. Characterized by domed dials, polished titanium cases, and moonphase or tourbillon complications, DB25 watches offer a balance of heritage watchmaking and forward-thinking design. Each model is meticulously hand-finished at the De Bethune manufacture in L'Auberson, Switzerland, making them a true rarity in the independent watchmaking space.
