De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius DB25VTIS3 Titanium

Launching in 2002, De Bethune has burst onto the watchmaking scene with hi-tech materials, innovative movements and stunning avant-garde designs that have enabled them to quickly become one of the most distinctive watchmakers in the industry. Founded by THA founders Denis Flageollet and David Zanetta, the idea for De Bethune was that it would be a true watch manufacture, something De Bethune has undoubtedly achieved with their models that encompass almost every facet of horology. Recognised as one of the most important indie watchmakers of recent times, De Bethune have created a powerful sense of self as they forge on with their own unique aesthetic and style. Carrying that aesthetic in abundance is the DB25 Starry Varius in Titanium that we have here. Boasting a remarkable focus on ergonomics, finishing and raw craftsmanship, the DB25 Starry Varius is a wonderful example of why De Bethune are held to such a high regard in the watchmaking industry. Free from complications that might muddle its design, the DB25 is a time-only timepiece powered by the impeccably finished 6-day power reserve manually wound cal. DB2005 movement. Featuring 160 parts with a silver plate and barrel bridge cover adorned with "côtes de Bethune” finishing, hand-snailed barrels and hand-polished, chamfered steel parts throughout, this movement is a feast for the eyes behind the DB25 Starry Varius’ exhibition caseback. As its name suggests, where the Starry Varius’ design really shines is its dial. Made of highly polished blued titanium plate, the dial speaks to De Bethune’s signature aesthetic, with a starry night sky made up using gold studs, which represent stars, in the centre and a silver-toned chapter ring that houses Roman numerals which encircle the blued titanium plate in the centre. With De Bethune’s signature hollowed-out lugs extending from the centre of this timepiece’s entirely polished case, this 42mm x 8.8mm thick beauty sits flat on the wrist for a wonderfully ergonomic experience.
