The De Bethune DB15 Perpetual Calendar is a refined expression of the brand’s approach to classical complications, blending traditional calendar watchmaking with the distinctive aesthetic and technical innovation that define De Bethune. Crafted in yellow gold, the case features the brand’s signature floating lugs and elegant proportions, offering both visual lightness and exceptional wearability.
The dial is thoughtfully composed, balancing clarity with depth. Applied Roman numerals and a precise minute track frame a silvered surface, while the perpetual calendar indications are cleanly integrated: day and month apertures at 9 and 3 o’clock, a pointer date subdial at 6, and a prominent spherical moonphase at 12. The moonphase—executed in polished and blued titanium with white gold accents—creates a striking focal point while maintaining astronomical precision.
Inside, an in-house perpetual calendar movement reflects De Bethune’s commitment to innovation, incorporating advanced materials and proprietary balance technology to enhance accuracy and durability. The result is a watch that respects traditional complication architecture while advancing mechanical performance.
Founded in 2002, De Bethune is one of the most respected independent watchmakers, known for merging classical Swiss craftsmanship with forward-thinking engineering. With limited production and a design language rooted in astronomy, its timepieces are highly collectible and prized for their originality and finishing.
This example is offered in like-new condition, with virtually no signs of wear. The case remains sharp, the dial is pristine, and all calendar functions operate as intended. A sophisticated and collectible perpetual calendar that exemplifies De Bethune’s unique position in modern haute horlogerie.
