De Bethune DB25 Perpetual Sky. Where Cosmic Poetry Meets Perpetual Precision
The De Bethune DB25 Perpetual Sky is a limited edition watch that transcends traditional timekeeping, inviting wearers to contemplate the cosmos. Its 40 mm dial is a celestial canvas, featuring a meticulously hand-polished blued titanium surface adorned with white gold stars that create a stunning representation of the night sky. The Milky Way details are achieved through laser micro-engraving and handcrafted 24K gold leaf inlay, showcasing centuries of watchmaking artistry. A palladium and blued steel sphere at 12 o'clock accurately displays the moon phases, deviating by just one lunar day every 122 years, complemented by a gold disc indicating the leap-year cycle. The watch's perpetual calendar is seamlessly integrated into the cosmic theme, with date, day of the week, and month displayed on blue discs with gilded transfers for enhanced clarity. Hand-curved, mirror-polished yellow gold hands traverse a silver-toned chapter ring marked by Roman numerals, ensuring both legibility and elegance. This timepiece embodies not just a function but a poetic connection to the universe, making it a remarkable addition to horological craftsmanship.
