Andrewluff shares an exclusive first look at the De Bethune DB28 Meteorite Unique Piece, describing it as akin to wearing the universe on one's wrist. This initial post highlights the watch's stunning meteorite dial with white gold stars, setting the stage for a deeper appreciation of its unique craftsmanship and aesthetic.

If you wanted to know what it was like to wear the universe on your wrist, this is it!   I will share more pictures, but now that the watch is out in the public I cannot help but posting a picture of the DB28 with a meteorite dial and white gold stars which I was lucky enough to try on in January...
