De Bethune presents the DB25 Starry Varius in  rose gold,  with its personalized constellation at the center of its dial, its revisited lugs, and an original 42mm case. 

“The cosmos, the heavens above… When you want to observe time in motion without any instruments, you look upwards. This is a recurrent theme in watchmaking,” explains Denis Flageollet, master watchmaker and founder of De Bethune.   Today, for the first time, De Bethune offers a whole new take on the sky, framed by a slender case in polished rose gold case measuring 8.8mm thick, 42mm in diameter. Personalized according to a specific geographical location and a given date, the gold pins are fitted one by one on this star-studded sky, thus making each model truly unique. The Milky Way pattern is then gilded using the traditional gold leaf technique and enhanced by laser beam micro-milling.

The display features patiently hand-polished rose gold hands reflecting the light and sweeping over exactly matching hour-markers set on a silver-toned ring.  The sapphire crystal caseback with its double anti-reflective coating reveals the impeccable craftsmanship of the movement. Powered by the in-house mechanical manual winding DB2105 caliber oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, entirely designed, developed and produced in De Bethune’s workshops, the DB25 Starry Varius in rose gold is equipped with the latest titanium balance wheel as well as the triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system.
