Material, Shape and Light The Alchemy of Watchmaking

De Bethune draws on horological, architectural and artistic heritage and, through a close study of nature, defines distinctive aesthetic codes rooted in traditional craftsmanship. Combining innovation with uncompromising standards, the Maison elevates materials, shapes and finishes through advanced techniques to create refined signature pieces. Light animates these creations: its shifting reflections reveal depth, emotion and contemplation.

“In aesthetics, it is more about working with light than with shapes. It’s like a musical score, a rhythm. It’s about finding the rhythm of light through the watch.”
