De Bethune
Dear Purists,
I was wondering if someone knows how healthy is the brand
I discovered they decided to step back from the forthcoming SIHH, the website seems not updated, their IG account randomly posts some pics,...
Early signs of De Bethune coping with some financial difficulties or, as I hope, something different?
I really love their creations, most of the time (if not always) coming from another world
If you could help me in better understanding, I'd really appreciate
Best

I don't know if it is a good strategy....
if all the independents abandon the time only segment and focus on high end complications. I really think they should produce a simple time only watch in order to satisfy collectors with lower budgets who when times improve have the brand experience and l...
Totally agree
I was discussing this with a friend yesterday. Felt that every brand should try to build a strong time only entry piece, entice people in from there, and try to build brand loyalty and ownership of the brand from time-only right up to grand complications....
Thanks, I share your dream but
Something makes me feel not so optimistic... Hope to have some confirmation soon that my thoughts are wrong Best Luca

Not good...
I was at a recent independent watch exhibition in Taiwan and have asked one of the independent watch maker about DB (I own a DB28). The news was not good, DB missed the exhibition in Taiwan and financially they are not well, which is a pity because they m...
Some bad news
I really hope the will find the right way to prosper and continue to amaze us with their creations Current signs do not make me feel safe on this, let\'s wait and see Thanks for everyone for participating Best Luca
