De Bethune DB25 Special Edition for Only Watch
What is a watch, if not a machine to measure the flow of time? A kind of speed counter for the flux of an energy of which we know almost nothing, except that it exists and that it is carrying us somewhere��. Find complete details, along with stunning wallpaper, for this De Bethune machine inside.

And this is where a deliberately chosen aesthetic option must express a philosophical choice. With this DB25 specially created for Only Watch, De Bethune has chosen light as the medium from which to sculpt its conception of the world, of space, and of time.
