De Bethune DB28 – 43mm Titanium– Ref. DB28XPSW

A featherweight dream of engineering poetry. The grade 5 titanium case—matte, cool, and impossibly light—floats on the wrist at 43mm, its signature floating lugs curving like wings to adapt to any movement, making the watch disappear until you remember it’s there. The fully skeletonised dial reveals the DB2115v2 manual-wind calibre in layered, three-dimensional glory: openworked bridges polished to mirror finish, the iconic spherical moonphase glowing softly at 12 o’clock, and the balance wheel breathing with hypnotic calm at the heart of it all. Every surface is hand-finished to obsessive perfection, the red accents on the hands and power-reserve indicator adding just a pulse of life against the technical purity. On the textile strap it wears casual yet elevated, the extra strap giving it effortless versatility. This is De Bethune at its most liberated: radical lightness, avant-garde soul, and quiet mastery—the kind of watch that makes you feel like time itself has been re-engineered for comfort and wonder.
