To support this truly contemporary celebration of classicism and eternal elegance is a genuine privilege.
By supporting the Russian Ballet Jewels, De Bethune celebrates the histotical and steadfast bon that has been forged over the years between the watch brand and Russia.
Prominent Russian clients, great connoisseurs of contemporary Fine Watchmaking, have been loyal to De Bethune since the foundation of the first workshop.
