Lot Essay

The present titanium De Bethune DB25V 'Starry Varius' can only be described as a stunning work of art. A perfect example of De Bethune’s mission to integrate scientific advancements with mechanical and aesthetic craftsmanship, this impressive, large, and lightweight titanium case is fitted with an 1,800 Vickers hardness sapphire crystal to protect the superb gold star-studded and mirror-polished blued titanium dial. Hand-fitted with gold pins depicting the stars, the milky way pattern is created by laser beam micro-milling which is then gilded with 24-carat gold leaf. The star constellation can be customized to show the night-sky of the owner's requested location. Such is its beauty that it is hard not be allured by both the striking aesthetic and De Bethune’s extraordinary level of finish and innovation. The display back reveals the distinctive movement with grade 5 titanium bridge covers beneath a further 1800 Vickers protective sapphire crystal. The DB25V caliber movement alone includes four of De Bethune's patented inventions that have become such a signature of the brand including a six-day power reserve from the self-regulating twin barrel (patented 2004); titanium balance with white gold inserts (patented 2016); silicon escape wheel with triple-parachute shock protection system (patented 2005), and De Bethune's balance spring with flat terminal curve (patented 2006).

This horological masterpiece provides collectors with the opportunity to obtain an exceptional piece of independent watchmaking of the highest caliber.

De Bethune
Founded in 2002 by David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet, De Bethune quickly flourished in the watch industry by merging both peerless aesthetic with the latest horological breakthroughs. The deceptively simple elegance of their designs serves well in magnifying the complexity of the materials and processes involved in the creation of their timepieces. As De Bethune crafts an extremely limited amount of timepieces per year, the philosophy of the company has been to create better rather than more, and to draw inspiration from age-old expertise in order to constantly invent the future.
