DeBethune is a relatively new watch manufacturer located in La Chaux L'Auberson in the Swiss Jura close to the French border. De Bethune designs and build its watches in an atelier style, almost 'tailor made' watches of highest elegance and refinement, and with a focus on the best possible finish. Without doubt, they make some of the finest watches in the world today. They currently are making roughly 200 watches per year. Almost all of the movements they use are manufactured in-house. For so few watches, they already have an extremely impressive collection to offer. All of the De Bethune watches are made in precious metal cases made of Gold and Platinum, or extremely rare metals like Zirconium and have their characteristic ogival lugs. An ogival  arch is a pointed, "Gothic" arch, drawn with compasses. The dials are guilloched by hand. The movements are also entirely hand assembled. 

We are featuring a particularly beautiful example of the De Bethune collection, the DB28 Limited edition (# 9 of 50) Revolving 3D Spherical Moon, Tourbillon Zirconium DB28TIS8NLE, in a Titanium and Zirconium round shaped case measuring 42.5mm diameter. It has a fixed Titanium bezel, with Zirconiumlugs. The lugs are spring loaded making the watch extremely comfortable on the wrist. It has a Mechanical movement, with a Power Reserve up to ± 144 hours.  It has a spectacular Grey colored Skeleton dial with Titanium minute and hour hands.  

Completing the beautiful dial is a Revolving 3D SphericalMoon phase at 6 o'clock.  The crown is placed at the top of the dial in the 12 o’clock position rather than the side 3 o’clock. It has a scratch resistant Sapphire crystal and display Case back, with power reserve indicator on the back of the watch. A perfect Crocodile black Leather strap with Tang buckle completes the watch. 

It is Water Resistant to 20 meters / 66 feet.  The Case back is inscribed & numbered, and the Movement signed & concealed. 

The Movement is a masterpiece of complicated engineering. It is the De Bethune Calibre DB2115 with 293 parts, and 36 jewels moving in concert at 28,800 VPH. It has a self-regulating twin barrel, silicon & white gold balance. The balance spring has a flat terminal curve, and it has a spherical moon phase indicator and a silicone escape wheel.
