Catalogue Essay
'This De Bethune DB25 with spherical moon phases is a unique piece. The constellation is as seen from the sky above my birth place. There is a secret signature at 10 o'clock of a flying space shuttle and the dial is finished with 12 radiating sectors and the unique spherical moon phases is constructed from palladium.'
