Independents

Another news from the Geneva fair. Most of you know the famous DB25 "starry sky" with its beautiful blue dial and stars represented by gold nails. For the SIHH, the independant brand has launched a new version of this watch. However, this time, the Milky ...  

Both sides are unparalleled. What can you ask for more? thanks to flyroby for the photo. He was there (lucky friend), but he won't be upset for my polite theft ...

Best wishes Alkiro

and hope they are surviving during these hard times. Anyone know if they will be st Basel?

DeBethune delivers Cheers D

Is anyone able to comment on their current situation...

ALL brands in the Swiss watchmaking industry they were hit by the crisis. They have reorganised their business model and understood that it is impossible for them to become mainstram due to their audacious offering and price point. Production has been low... 

I have heard the rumours and was upset to think that they might not be around. So will they continue to release high end complicated new novelties ?

will continue to surprise us

Any idea if De Bethune are still developing this and whether or not we could expect to see a Resonique timepiece soon?

I too had heard some rumors, and it\'s good to hear that they are doing okay.
