I’ll say this right up front: the De Bethune DB28 is my favorite watch. Ever. And not in some abstract way of a dream watch that is impractical to own, but as a dream watch that is incredibly practical and comfortable to wear daily.
But what do you think that this particular De Bethune DB28 might be doing in this car at this particular time?
Perhaps it is being worn by a contract killer en route to a drive-by assassination? Or an Uber driver who has profited by surge pricing?
Let us know what you think might explain this photo in the comments below.
While the puns are becoming better and better each week, I’m calling last’s week winner as Go Ju for his clever story about the Terminator leaving his Ulysse Nardin Dual Time watch behind but being able to go back in time and collect it.

The watch in front is a DeBethune
Ian – those are very strong words, but I can’t fault you for putting the DB28 at the top of your list. It’s at once crazy, modern, traditional, and extremely comfortable! Which configuration is your favourite?
I’d have to say that I’m very pleased with the polished natural titanium version I have, Ryan. I haven’t seen another model that would encourage me to swap as yet.
Outstanding. I look forward to seeing it one of these days.
Of course it’ll be perfect to have a DB28 strapped to the wrist and sit in a DB9 but one out of two ain’t bad!
The DB28 is a big music fan. At the end of the “De” it likes to wind down listening to a few songs. Its owner needs to “Be-thune-ing” in the car radio about now.
As Jason drove home slowly in the rented Toyota after his wild night out, clad only in T-shirt and shorts, his mind raced with questions. Just who was “Charmaine”? Just where had she gone, and where was his Aston Martin DB11 now? And why had she taken his clothes, his tie, and even his Berlutis? As he headed home towards the inevitable interrogation with his wife, he looked down glumly. And saw his DB28, gleaming serenely in the morning sun. Thank god she hadn’t stolen the watch. And it was there and then, in the calming presence of the De Bethune, that Jason knew he was going to be all right.
Pity I can’t afford a decent car now I’ve spent such stupid money on a watch ! But at least it’s easier to tell the time on the dashboard clock.

Actually, he’s going to trade in his watch to fund the purchase of the car he’s test driving!
Then, he’ll also have enough money left over to buy a Big Mac!
Lovely watch though! 🙂
