DB 25 Perpetual Calendar

Description

DB 25 QP De Bethune Perpetual CalendarThe De Bethune interpretation of the perpetual calendar is imbued with poetry and combines horological finesse with the cutting-edge mechanisms of the Manufacture by uniting moon phases, a star-studded sky and a perpetual calendar within an exceptional timepiece. The Manufacture De Bethune is enriching its collection of classic watches with a magnificent interpretation of the perpetual calendar.The 44 mm-diameter round case is inspired by a drum shape and features slender and resolutely classic lines, subtly enlivened by the hollowed lugs characteristic of the DB25 collection.The finesse of the decorations and the purity of the hand-guilloché silver-toned dial with its 12 radiating sectors accentuate the readability, notably based on the set of annular appliques delineating the subdials and the chapter ring. At 12 o'clock, a titanium and blued steel sphere sits enthroned amid a star-studded sky also incorporating a leap-year indicator. The date is read off on a subdial at 6 o'clock, while the day of the week and month apertures are respectively positioned at 9 and 3 o'clock.For this timepiece, De Bethune has developed the automatic mechanical Calibre DB2324 QP, benefiting from the latest research and technology of the Manufacture and notably including a perpetual calendar, a spherical moon-phase display featuring a “1 day in 122 years” level of accuracy, a double self-regulating barrel, a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system and a titanium/platinum balance.Representing an avant-garde mechanism within a poetic timepiece, the DB25QP is crafted in the De Bethune workshops in harmony with the grand watchmaking tradition.
