Founded in 2002 by David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet, De Bethune quickly flourished in the watch industry by merging both peerless aesthetic with the latest horological breakthroughs. The deceptively simple elegance of their designs serves well in magnifying the complexity of the materials and processes involved in the creation of their timepieces.
As De Bethune crafts an extremely limited amount of timepieces per year, the philosophy of the company has been to create better rather than more, and to draw inspiration from age-old expertise in order to constantly invent the future.
The DB28 is the model has become the standard bearer for De Bethune, the model won the Aiguille d’Or award at the 2011 Grand Prix d’horlogerie de Genève and features several of the company’s patented innovations including the now famous three-dimensional spherical ‘rolling’ moon phase made from palladium and flame-blued steel (patented 2004) and the visible balance wheel with silicon balance and triple-parachute shock protection system (patented 2005).
