De Bethune Part 2: The Pursuit of Chronometric Perfection

In Part 2 of our inside look at De Bethune, Wei traces the manufacture's history of balance wheel development with Co-founder and Master Watchmaker, Denis Flageollet. Very few watchmakers have been as singularly focused like Denis has; his being a 20-year relentless pursuit of chronometric performance of the most important component of a wristwatch, the oscillator.

Fantastic insight into this wonderful brand but you all should have put in English subtitles for Denis Flageollet. Would love to see a Revolution and De Bethune watch collaboration some day

[@James-zy4nc]

The lack of subtitles really takes away from what is otherwise a well produced video.

[@vgcamara]

@@James-zy4nc turn on subtitles and translation. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing

[@geeb48]

Magnifique vidéo comme toutes tes interviews!

[@shuycg]

That's a man that doesn't skip a beat if he puts a scratch on his watch.

[@Wadawalker949]

One of my fav video about watches

[@RB-jw8ff]

I suppose he is Swiss, but Dennis has the most French looking face I’ve ever seen. I love everything about De Bethune.

[@johnnewman3316]

It would have been nice to know what levels of accuracy they got to. I have a Lange that runs to an accuracy of 1 second a week!

[@shuycg]

It's really more than that. It's clear that he wouldn't rest and continues to push the boundaries in many aspects. Making a very accurate caliber is no longer the novelty. Making it in a new way, may be a challenge. Making it accurate but also very resilient (shocks, wear), serviceable, efficient (consuming less power) seems to also be interesting for him. This watchmaker is like a Renaissance artist.

that is cool... !!!

[@lusinemichele7721]

Perfect watches have true accuracy

[@morgan97475]

Wow!

[@Dr_LK]

18:40 increasing the inertia, will make it go slower (not faster)!

[@almeladze]

English please

[@Nefville]

Sorry in advance but DB makes timepieces for the ultra-wealthy, the man is not Einstein and the 'price of genius' here absolutely has a dollar tag... someone needs to get him a comb.

[@shuycg]

How rude!

[@user-fi5fr9us2t]

Nice engineering, however way to big not so comfortable to wear.

[@chia-mingyang5804]

Their DB28 has floating lugs that could fit smaller wrists well.

I believe aliens came to earth and taught the Egyptians how to make pyramids and Denis Flageollet to make balance wheels.
