We are extremely pleased to share with you our new Walkthrough video and this time we had the great chance of visiting extensively the full operation of De Bethune, one of the most creative brands of independent watchmaking. A brand which definitely set the benchmark for many others to follow in their footsteps.
We hope you will enjoy the visit, they are always a pleasure to do and we will bring to you some other videos soon of some really cool visits of the great names of watchmaking we like so much.
All the best & Viva Watchmaking!

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks and really like making these, so hopefully many more coming!

[@chrisblight6069]

Thanks for the link to this, great video. Really enjoyed the walk through, the workmanship is tremendous; the milky way dial, for instance, is beautifully done. Wishing you a very merry Christmas.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Great! 😍

[@ericwong9185]

Beautiful works of art, I'll never be able to afford one but it's great to see them being made non-the-less. BTW, the center plate of the dead beat seconds (10:07) reminds me of Star Trek's logo... as a Trek fan myself, it would be awesome to own a De Bethune just for that alone.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Indeed a bit of treki familiarities ;)

[@lloydgarth1]

C'est trop beau! Bravo MAD!

[@Michel-ci8ur]

Une merveille ces montres merci pour ton beau reportage

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

You are most welcome and many thanks for the comment 🙏

[@0xss]

My personal trinity of independent watchmakers includes De Bethune,MB&F and Greubel Forsey. All of them are pushing the boundaries of some or all aspects of watchmaking! And as marc always says, Viva watchmaking!

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks a lot and you have good tastes 😉

[@bobbysebastian3709]

Thanks 🙏 for taking us through the facility explaining the process. I love 💕 their watches for the floating lugs, case & high end finishing.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Yes, they are quite unique, very distinctive. Thanks for the comment

[@lougran598]

Nice video! A very interesting approach to this relatively small brand. Thanks!

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks a lot ✌️

[@sealevelbear]

Very cool, DB is great!

[@cobainkurt7412]

Tres bon reportage

[@topfuel29channel]

Everyone LOVES a Field-Trip... :)

[@FaisalReza76]

respect for such dedicated skill full craftmanship, but how on earth they manage to standarise the engineering parameters of the finished parts for instance the surface roughness

[@BG-ln7te]

Thank you so much for this video. I was always curious how the sphere in the De Bethune moon-phase was made.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Yes, that's pretty impressive to catch. Thanks for the comment!

[@robertnorth1681]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@aguspr3749]

Awesome!

[@kkevinmiao]

just brilliant!!!

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks a lot, happy you liked it.

[@jeod011]

Thanks for producing this amazing content, is fantastic to be able to see this, De Bethune is one of my favorites brands or should I say better : Horological Art

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Most welcome and thanks for this nice comment!

[@daledevernon56]

Ny grail watch. Absolutely amazing, beautiful and cutting edge. They have such a low production, once you place an order how long is the waiting list?

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Has become rather long (+6 months), but always depends on models naturally.

[@speedy1001]

Tq for sharing sir..all the best!

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Very welcome and happy you liked it!

[@albertmyers7176]

Muy hermosas piezas .

[@OBWAT]

Nice rolex sub!

[@asilva781]

I’m in love.

[@rarts2000]

Another cool interesting video, you should ask for a free sample watch, on your trips, It doesn't hurt to ask, great insight though :)

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

And I would be trippin all the time then!!! 😂

[@watchesaliswiss714]

every day ther is a new with mad

[@dangkhoaa3749]

My dream watch: DeBethune

[@pierregagne1903]

What were the watches they were wearing? These were not De Bethune

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Indeed not (unfortunately...)

[@dragote4262]

I'm just curios, what is on Laurent's wrist?... don't seem to be a De Bethune.

[@santfournier]

Next, get inside Patek Philippe, we haven’t heard from them for a while

[@shemadj7501]

anybody got to guess what watch the engineer is wearing at 4:00?

[@tillablendsmolarek7281]

First , nice video

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

👍👍👍 good job

[@RollaArtis]

There is no secret for polishing components and watch cases absolutely flat with no rounded edges. This can be done by a Lapping process much like the watches made 250 years ago. But maybe this is too expensive and time consuming these days.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks for the comment and such techniques are indeed still employed.

[@spartanecspartan5189]

Halo dear friend. Could you suggests a good watch with the following specifications: sapphire cristal, 200m water resistance, perpetual calendar with date, day and month, if posible yeat too. Quarts or mechanical no mater. Preferably not thicker than 11mm. Surely luminous. And of course not expensive, at least not more than 500$ if possible. For us folks who are on a budget. In the end a review of such a watch would be awesome. Thank you and take care.

[@LoderMike]

Star Trek watch

[@YouTubeYouTube-qg6vl]

Wow Eiffel tower

[@retailworker]

You try and show case your watch and I get 1 min in to see a incorrectly fitted band I switch off and move on. Try again.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

You're very detailed oriented ;)

[@sebastianhappy573]

U Rorex google super top 👍

[@abhishes]

"We are not in the business of making toys for boys".. then makes a tourbillon watch

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

😉😉😉

[@florishaze2623]

How can he claim de bethune watches are not toys for guys? That is all watches are these days. Just because you are a serious brand and that it is a piece of art does not mean it can't be a toy.

[@florishaze2623]

@Sudhir Raghu I do think almost anything which has no use but to entertain us could be considered a toy. And for me watches are not needed to tell the time, so I see them purely as entertainment and hobby.

[@florishaze2623]

@Sudhir Raghu hmm, I like that way of looking at them. I do agree on it, but I think a toy can be all of these things. I think watches bring up the same feelings as a lot of other things that could be considered toys. Some consider supercars toys, because I think when you compare them to "actual toys" they have a lot of similarities.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Nice discussion and it’s true that most of these brands don’t like to be treated as « toys », but the analogy to works of art is indeed something they prefer to be referred to. All the very best

[@davidofglenbrook4487]

What an ugly object. There is no artistry in making what basically is a box that looks like a pill dispenser.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Always a personal thing 😉
