Catalogue Essay
The DB28 model was introduced in 2010 and went on in 2011 to immediately win the Aiguille d’Or at the GPHG, the most important awards in the world of watches. This highlights how strongly De Bethune focuses on innovation - in fact, they repeated the feat winning again the prize in 2014 - and how their technical approach to watchmaking reverberates from the movement to the case, with details such as the crown at 12 o’ clock and the innovative “floating” lugs. Extremely well-received by collectors, the DB28 has become the “signature” piece from the firm.
Incredibly blue, visually striking and masterful products in contemporary horology, the present DB28 "Kind of Blue" is part of the elite circle. Featuring a striking heat blued grade 5 titanium case with an impressive mirrored-polish and the brand's signature delta shaped bridge decorated coté de De Bethune, the hours are marked by arrow pointers in pink gold. The sense of detail can be found even on its pink gold back prong of the pin buckle. The blued balance wheel anchored by 6 white gold inserts of the calibre DB2115 animates this marvel. Featuring the brand’s signature spherical moon phase indication accurate to a degree of one lunar day every 122 years and the patented self-regulating twin barrel, triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system, the “Kind of Blue” has a power reserve of 6 days.
Nothing short of an excitement as always by Dennis Flageollet, the present example of the De Bethune DB28BTIBN is excellently preserved and is complete with its full set of accessories. This is a fantastic chance for admirers of innovative timepieces to acquire an award winning wristwatch from one of the most respected independent firms in the industry.
