De Bethun - DBS Moon-phase Power Reserve Edition

 
De BethuneCURRENT DBS Complication Spherical Moon-phase Power Reserve Edition 2012
 The model is not new, but I really like this watch ..

 A dream to behold, the DBS is a watch for the man who is only satisfied with the best. The semi-skeletal, hand decorated De Bethune reverse Côte de Genéve complex dial allows for full appreciation of the advanced technology this watch houses.


• The unique patented De Bethune titanium/platinum balance with curved terminal plate protected by the triple pare-chute system offering perfect centring and ease of fixation, so avoiding the delicate regulation needed by ordinary watches.
• The patented De Bethune self‐adjusting double barrels, specially designed to eliminate friction and to transmit the maximum amount of energy at optimum efficiency. 
• The patented 3-dimensional De Bethune moon phase rotating on its own axis.
