The organization can have questions, i do not know.
In my opinion, nobody is a slave to somebody or a company etc.
Maybe contracts are signed and have agreements.
Let’s talk watches.
The second De Bethune is really awesome.
De Bethune: ahead of tomorrow official presentation...
on the IG account popped up 3 stunning 10 yrs Anniversary BD28 pieces, what are your thoughts? Ciao Luca ...

Hi mate, I struggle to understand what you wrote, also because if I remember well De Bethune announce the release of these pieces before
the announcement of the new online FHH platform... In any case let’s stick to watches as you wrote... I love the first one... curious to understand the price... Ciao Luca
I do like them a lot , the third one is my fav . The Starry Sky
Ofcourse the Tourbillon is a marvel but with a very high price tag too . That guilloche dial looks so beautiful with that blue outer ring . Reminds me of the Db Digital
Dear mate, obviously all the 3 are wonderful!!! You’re right on the Digitale heritage and unfortunately also on the price tag (to different extent a valid point for all the itarations...), let’s see... I’ll ask today to a friend and see
if I’m able to get a feedback on this... a major point for me, but also for many people here as well...
Actually I‘m a little disappointed
I find the standard DB28 collection more appealing (which is just a matter of personal taste). But for a brand that is as bold and innovative as De Bethune, I am underwhelmed by the lack of ambition for their 10th anniversary. Is it just me? Best, Daniel
Hi Daniel, I can empathize with what you wrote, then I have to face reality...
for the 10th Anniversary of a watch De Bethune cut the width of the watch of something more than 2mm while major players of the industry changed the color of a bezel for a 50th Anniversary model... On the same side I know more than well that we’re talking...
Mea culpa...
I didn‘t do my research before posting my reply. I was completely unaware that DB reduced the size and thickness of their DB28 anniversary. I merely responded after looking at the pics. So my initial reply isn‘t justified, and I actually welcome DB pursui...
How is just reducing the case size really any different from a bezel or dial color change?
My point is simply it doesn’t alter the overall aesthetics of the piece, it just reduces scale. I’m with Daniel on this one, I’m a little disappointed in this effort. I guess I expect de Bethune to be more creative. If they were doing a tenth anniversary ...
Dear NickO,
I read many times your post... I understand your thoughts on how pieces marking an Anniversary should look like, something blowing our minds!!! But De Bethune motto sounds like “Not doing More, but instead doing Better”, and that’s what they’re doing with...
I met a nice guy in Verona last year
in a watch store, where we talked about De Bethune watches. I thought it might have been you. There are much worse places to be locked down than in Italian mountains. Enjoy your day! Best, Daniel
Love De Bethune dearly, but who in God’s name did they get to design the hands?
They have some of the best looking contemporary hands on the DB28s, but these ones should’ve never seen the light of day!
Lugs? You may be rather unique if you can tell the time by looking at the lugs...
ordinary mortals, such as myself, generally rely on the hands to indicate the time of day it is.
😂😂😂 sorry, I ‘m not superhuman 😂😂😂, only to clarify when reading your post maybe due to
the current house arrest and the increased alcohol consumption I read lugs instead of hands... don’t ask me why... I’ve no clue... 🤔 This said, I can empathize with you on the fact DB could have designed different hands for these beauties... you are right...
Wow, this is why I love De Bethune, they make some of the most amazing watches in the world!!!
My fav is prob the starry sky one but if I got any of them, I would not complain ;P
Even better. I have a lovely villa on a private golf course in Mougins (25 mins from Nice) so you are welcome anytime 😁...
Bring your clubs if you play and we can have a nice round and afterwards a pleasant lunch 😉⛳
Doesn't the location of the crown make these difficult to wind?
...also, 43mm? Who are all the giants who buy these? I have a larger than average wrist but this would look kind of silly on me...
There is only one reseller anywhere near me...
...I've seen them in person but haven't tired one on...can't get over the 'Starfleet' design.
