GTG London: my De Bethune pics
I'm a great fan of De Bethune... especially of the classic watches of the collection (DB 15 & DB 25). Trouble is that the other ones start to seduce me ! 
A De Bethune caliber is always unique in the horological industry and a proof that Denis Flageollet is one of the most gifted watchmakers.
We had the opportunity to browse almost all the collection at William & Son. We would like to thank the whole team from De Bethune (including Zanetta's son) for the time they spent with us and for the clear explanations.

Excellent photos of excellent watches
I am clearly in favour of the simple Ti DB 25 and the spectacular and cool DB 26. The Dream series is a bit too much for my taste in spite of the enormous efforts behind them. Thanks for the great show! allegro
Cool watches!
Love the DB 25, the Tourbillon and the Digitale. Thanks for sharing! Vte
It's now official
DeBethune is my favorite Independent watchmaker :0) Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures Best Damian
I was impressed by De Bethune...
...the first time I experienced their watches in the metal. Their watches are wonderful and unique IMO. I love the DB26 and Digitale especially. Thanks for all the photos! Cheers, Daos
i love them all, but Dream 1 and Digitale are the tops
a friend of mine, who appreciates watches, but cant afford to start collecting mentioned something i hadnt considered. he looked at my pics of the De Bethunes and said that the Crown didnt match the simplicity of the cases and looked out of place. does an...
I'd have to politely disagree with your friend, Graham.
I actually don't find the cases to exhibit simplicity. The cases, while not excessively adorned, show hallmarks of a studied complexity -- see for example, the often asymmetrical placement of the lugs and their unique diaphanous shape. These design elemen...
Daos, no need to be...
Daos, no need to be polite. he's a plumber not a design expert :) he's referring to the decor or lack of decor on the cases whilst the crown is full of decor. i understand what he means without agreeing with him. i personally love the assymetric cases and...
Another official position... ;-)))
I love this brand and many models they produce : I want one ! ;-) Until recently, I thought it would be the DB15 (perpetual calendar) but now, I'm ready to change my mind. I've seen a black dial DBS and I can't forget it ! Thanks for sharing these picture...
