De Bethune Uhren

The Distinctions of De Bethune

Designing, producing, and developing all of its own timepieces, De Bethune never ceases to inspire and impress watch enthusiasts and collectors. Since its founding, it has developed around 27 calibres, presented about 30 world premiers, and registered a number of patents in addition to producing 150 one-off pieces to satisfy collectors with niche expectations and interests. Inspiring De Bethune’s culture of innovation, co-founder, master watchmaker, and creative talent Denis Flagoellet works tirelessly to combine classic watchmaking skills with a contemporary technical process, leveraging CAD and CNC technology—his work has been recognized by national and international prizes, as well as eight patents and two registered designs. And of course, one cannot discuss De Bethune without making mention of their extraordinary material innovation, specifically the process of thermal oxidation that brings us “Kind of Blue” and “Yellow Tones.” You can find both of these vibrant hues in our pre-owned collection of De Bethune watches including this DB28 in a metallic blue titanium, and this DB28, designed with an eye-catching yellow titanium case.
