Catalogue Essay
- De Bethune, established in 2002, is certainly one of the brands that best symbolises 21st century independent watchmaking.
- Bridging the gap between the classic and contemporary aesthetics of the brand, the DB27 Titan Hawk was launched in 2012 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the firm. The present example belongs to the “V1” series, featuring a sharper date and a rounded, dimensional appeal, thanks to the concaved and convexed portions of the dial. Quintessentially De Bethune, the case is completed with a crown at 12 o’clock position and the distinctive floating lugs. Paired with a traditional three-handed display, this diverts all of the focus from the classic silvered dial and shares its spotlight with the experimental, futuristic case. The "V1” is further closed with a seductive semi-open caseback, coyly revealing only a slit of the movement, keeping collectors wanting more.
- At 43mm, the watch is a modern size that sits comfortably on the wrist without weighing it down. Offered in excellent overall condition, the present DB27 Titan Hawk is ideal for any collector looking to add an iconic piece of modern horology to their collection.
