De Bethune De Bethune designs and crafs each time piece as if it were an intricate work of art. Founded in 2002, the brand sees itself as research development tool and “laboratory”, continually forging a new path in watchmaking by drawing inspiration from the past, while developing completely new and contemporary masterpieces. It draws design elements from watchmaking of the bygone era, referencing the workmanship of 18th and 19th century master watchmakers. At the same time, it incorporates cutting-edge and modern technologies. The result: completely fresh and remarkable timepieces, such as the “Milky Way”, representing the brand’s interpretation of the vast nature of the galaxy. Incorporating the old tradition of mapping the celestial canopy, it features decidedly modern updates such as a mirror-polished dial incorporating palladium.
