De Bethune: The Art of Watchmaking – A Must-Have for Watch Lovers

Dive into the incredible story of De Bethune, a brand that’s completely changed the game in watchmaking over the past 20 years. Co-founded by master watchmaker Denis Flageollet, De Bethune is all about blending old-school craftsmanship with cutting-edge design to create truly unique timepieces.

Why De Bethune Stands Out

At its core, De Bethune is about chasing perfection. With 30 in-house movements under its belt, the brand focuses on keeping things simple, precise, and timeless. Every watch evolves through constant innovation, making De Bethune a leader in independent watchmaking.

Exclusivity You Can Feel

With only 150 to 250 watches made each year, owning a De Bethune isn’t just about telling time—it’s about owning a piece of art. These watches, priced between $45,000 and $300,000, are handcrafted with an unmatched level of detail.

Celebrate 20 Years of Excellence

De Bethune: The Art of Watchmaking marks the brand’s 20th anniversary and tells the full story of its rise to fame. The book includes contributions from big names in the watch world, like Arthur Touchot, Wei Koh, and Pierre Jacques, and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at everything from the brand’s innovative designs to how its iconic movements are made.
