An infinite expanse of the heavenly firmament stretches across its dreamlike face. Ancestral skills and the latest scientific breakthroughs meet and mingle under the impetus of David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet. They merge to make this timepiece a perfect summary of highly aesthetic ambition and peerless technical precision. Skybridge embodies the entire repertoire of the Manufacture De Bethune.
While classically inspired in terms of its round shape, its 12 o’clock crown and its hunter-type back borrowed from pocket watches, the ultra-light mirror-polished titanium case of the DB28 with its distinctive floating lugs nonetheless proclaim the collection’s modern and indeed futuristic nature.
A nocturnal window on infinity, Skybridge features a whole host of astonishing shimmering effects, in turn brilliant or intensely radiant with the blue that has been a House signature for the past eleven years.

De Bethune DB16 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar
De Bethune has gained a reputation for their innovation in striving to create a more accurate watch using different designs and materials.
David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet deserve tremendous praise for creating such beautiful and complicated timepieces with technical precision.
I have always loved their take on displaying the moonphase using a spherical ball instead of a disc. The intense blue of the hands on their watches is captivating.
