Before Dream Watch 5, the world of modern independent watch brands was a much simpler place and De Bethune’s place in it was clear: superlative movements housed in either traditional or contemporary, but not extreme, cases.
Dream Watch 5, however, is more of a piece beautifully sculptured jewelry than a wristwatch. The organic shape looks fantastic from every angle, and the cabochon ruby in the crown is a neat touch.
While Dream Watch 5 would stand out in any crowd on its supermodel looks alone, Be Bethune has also ensured that it’s no slouch in the technical department either: jumping hours, an incredibly accurate three-dimensional moon phase, a silicon-and-white-gold balance wheel, and five-day power reserve.
