DE BETHUNE DB28 “Aiguille d’Or”
In November 2011, the DB28 model by De Bethune was awarded the Aiguille d’Or (Golden Hand), the supreme distinction in the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. The manufacturer is now revisiting its award-winning creation by issuing it in a 50-piece limited edition. The characteristic aesthetic of the DB28 “Aiguille d’Or” is enriched with a pink gold baguette set into the minutes hand. The specific pocket watch-inspired shape of the titanium case, accentuated by the spherical moon and the silicon/palladium balance, features an exhibition back revealing a finely decorated movement. This exceptional timepiece radiates a pure, understated style based on taut lines, delicate hand-crafted finishes and a slender case, skilfully associated with technical innovations to provide a contemporary expression of the watchmaking art according to De Bethune | ||||||||||
