De Bethune announced the beginning of the Heritage Collection Tour, a unique exhibition showcasing 13 exceptional historical timepieces curated by De Bethune’s co-founder and master watchmaker, Denis Flageollet.
At the Geneva Watch Days De Bethune not only presented the novelties, but inaugurated its ‘Heritage Collection Tour’. The Collection comprises 13 historical watches that embody De Bethune’s most significant achievements and innovations, providing a unique insight into the brand’s contributions to modern horology. No longer in production, each piece reflects a blend of traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design, and undeniable artistry. Among them is the DB1, De Bethune’s very first timepiece, launched in 2002 – a monopusher chronograph that evokes classical 1920s design, with elegant blue accents and hand-decorated guilloché, setting De Bethune’s aesthetic direction.
The next stop is in Shanghai from September 30th to October 2nd, followed by Hong Kong from October 22nd to 25th, before heading to the United States in November 2024.
Denis Flageollet shares – ‘The Heritage Collection holds a special place within the De Bethune manufacture, representing significant milestones in our journey of horological innovation. Each timepiece in this collection is a testament to our dedication to the art of watchmaking, showcasing the advanced techniques and craftsmanship that define the manufacture.‘
