Their situation is fine. There have been lots of rumors going around but like
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 lowered and they are more and more going into customization/bespoke.
[SIHH 2017] De Bethune DB25L Milky Way
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 ...
Pure poetry
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 ...
May be one of the nicest dial ever made. You don't need to look at the sky and stars above your head... you own them and wear them on your wrist.
Absolutely mesmerising dial. There\'s a lack of adjectives to describe it. Best wishes Alkiro
One of the most fabulous look
and made a very different way that other brands would have done Best, Mark
Hope for more novelties from De Bethune...
and hope they are surviving during these hard times. Anyone know if they will be st Basel?
I really hope De Bethune continue to surprise us with their marvel complications.
Is anyone able to comment on their current situation...

That is so good to hear.
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 ?
I saw two pieces that will be launched around Baselworld and they are amazing! So yes they
will continue to surprise us
This is what I needed to hear Alex...
Hopefully high complications... like a Minute Repeater perhaps?
Resonique timepiece
Any idea if De Bethune are still developing this and whether or not we could expect to see a Resonique timepiece soon?
Thanks for sharing the info.
I too had heard some rumors, and it\'s good to hear that they are doing okay.
I think they are.
They seem to have slowed down since 1 or 2 years but whether on the technical or imagination level, they are among the top of the pyramid.
We were also amongst the lucky few to see this watch last week
