De Bethune just released this blue meteorite dial with dead beat seconds and tourbillon, limited to 5 pieces per year. This watch is a stunner. What's your thoughts on this?

Quote from the 1st link "The test report on the watch, measured in six positions, indicates the excellent results achieved by the model, with 0.00 sec/day in all positions. This confirms that combining the jumping seconds complication with the tourbillon has in no way been detrimental to the precision of this chronometer."

Gorgeous watch. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed, gorgeous timepiece... and filled with innovation too.

I sort of liked that GMT they dropped better. It’s cool though.

That looks real special - stunning!

This looks stunning. Any idea how much it is?

Approx S$400k

I like this one very much because of the meteorite blue dial and more traditional looking lugs. However, I do need to try on their other 42mm watches to see if it fits on my tiny wrist.

The idea of customizing with your constellation of choice fits this watch so well. But SGD400k is stiff

Pricey indeed, but there is a tourbillon thrown in. As comparative, the Journe TV is about 10% cheaper.

Gorgeous, thank god I can still dream.

A Journe is a Journe and I can only afford one watch of this price range

I really want to love it
I just don’t
Also never been a fan of jumping seconds personally
I’m sure in person it would change my mind tho lol

Yobrooks · 21 July 2022, 06:54 AM

I agree.. If it weren't for the jumping seconds... it would suit me just fine. Beautiful timepiece.

That’s a grail. Just goddam that’s nice.

This one is perfection. Real hit. It sounds crazy expensive but when you start to evaluate what it gives you, it is like having 5 watches in one - all DBs. : )

Love that meteriote dial.
