De Bethune refines the DB25L by unveiling the DB25Vxs Silver Moon in a pared-down version featuring a case trimmed to 40 mm, a reconfigured dial and an optimised movement. Inspired by the tall-case regulator-type clocks, this modernised version combines 18th century heritage with the Manufacture’s key innovations, notably including the spherical moon.
