Lot Essay

The DB28 ‘XP Kind of Blue’ can only be described as stunning. The incredible blueness of the mirror-polished grade 5 titanium case, blued movement and dial immediately draws attention. Its intensity is so captivating that it is hard not to be seduced by both the depth of color and De Bethune’s extraordinary level of finish and innovation. The movement alone incorporates five De Bethune patent inventions, while the case features the brand’s ingenious and highly comfortable ‘floating lugs,’ patented in 2006, which have become a signature of the company.

The DB28 has become the standard-bearer for De Bethune. This model won the prestigious Aiguille d’Or award at the 2011 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and showcases several of the company’s patented innovations, including the visible balance wheel with a silicon balance and a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system (patented in 2005).
