Lot Essay
The present blued titanium DB28 Grand Sport is nothing short of stunning, contemporary timepiece. Featuring a grade-5 titanium case that has been carefully heat-blued as well as the movement, this wristwatch immediately captivates the eyes. Furthermore, is has guilloché and mirror-polishing, adding another layer of complexity. The movement alone incorporates five of De Bethune’s patented inventions, while the case features the brand’s ingenious and exceptionally comfortable ‘floating lugs,’ patented in 2006 - an iconic signature of De Bethune.
De Bethune
Founded in 2002 by David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet, De Bethune quickly rose to prominence in the watch industry by merging unparalleled aesthetics with cutting-edge horological technology. The brand’s deceptively simple elegance serves to highlight their complexity through the use of materials and craftsmanship involved in creating their timepieces. Producing only a limited number of watches per year, De Bethune remains committed to the philosophy of creating better, rather than more, continually drawing from traditional watchmaking expertise while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
In 2011, De Bethune was awarded the prestigious Aiguille d’Or, the highest distinction at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix), for its groundbreaking DB28 model.
