Catalogue Essay
De Bethune has since its inception in 2002 been a potent mix of ancestral horological know-how applied to cutting edge movement and avant-garde designs.
Denis Flageollet, the brand’s co-founder master watchmaker rather than simply modifying or improving traditional techniques takes a precise mathematical and scientific approach with regards to the technical process, case and movement architecture, and finishing of each of his watches. All this results in some of the most visually striking and masterful products in contemporary horology.
The present DB28 tourbillon with dead beat seconds – whereby the seconds hand marks a stop upon each second before jumping to the next- is no exception, it features the brand’s signature mobile lugs and the “sail” like top plate upon which is placed the dead beat mechanism. A discreet power reserve indicator is placed between 5 and 7 o’clock.
The caliber is a work of art in itself and includes many of De Bethune innovations such as the self-regulating twin barrel, silicon annular balance, De Bethune balance spring with flat terminal curve, silicon escape wheel and an ultra light tourbillon in silicon and titanium.
Launched in 2012, the present DB28 was made in only 15 pieces.
Flageollet likes to say that “the tradition of watchmaking is innovation", and as such the present DB28 tourbillon with dead beat seconds perfectly exemplifies the innovative spirit of the brand.
