Back to collection

De Bethune revisits its classics and reaffirms its identity through the DB28 collection, a timepiece that unmistakably carries the brand’s signature style while embodying its bold, avant-garde approach to horology. The DB28 tourbillon offers exceptional wearer comfort, thanks to its surprising lightness and the innovative “floating lugs” system—patented for its ability to effortlessly adapt to the wrist’s size and movements. This is further enhanced by the presence of the world’s lightest tourbillon, adding a remarkable level of precision and sophistication to the timepiece.
