Please SMS or Whatsapp +65-82333666 Description: The characteristic aesthetic of the DB28 is enriched in the first model with a rose gold baguette-shaped insert adorning the minute hand, and in the second by a polished steel skeletonised hour circle, zirconium floating lugs and a blackened steel and platinum moon. The distinctive shape of the mirror-polished titanium case, inspired by pocket watches, accentuated by the spherical moon phase and by the silicon/palladium balance, features an exhibition back revealing a finely decorated movement enhanced by gold wheels and a gold hand for the linear power reserve. This exceptional timepiece features a pure style in which the taut lines, the exquisite hand-crafted finishes and the slenderness of the case combine with the technical innovations to offer a contemporary expression of the horological art according to De Bethune.
