Every De Bethune watch is imagined and manufactured in-house by the firm which, since its creation in 2002, has developed 25 calibres, presented some 30 world-firsts, filed multiple patents and produced close to 150 one-of-a-kind creations. Among this year's new designs is a refreshed version of the much-appreciated DB25, now with a smaller diameter (42mm versus 44mm), a slightly more pronounced curve for the lugs, and the possibility to customise the sky chart on the dial for a specific date and location. The stars are gold pins, each one individually profiled and positioned by hand. The hazy band of Milky Way is obtained using laser beam micro-milling combined with the traditional technique of gold-leaf gilding.
