This video explains the full history of watchmaker De Bethune from its first watches to the latest models from the brand’s factory in L’Auberson, Switzerland. Over its first 23 years of history, the brand co-founded by watchmaker Denis Flageollet has created a vast array of innovative watches that belies its relative corporate youth.

From the early DB1-style cases to the iconic DB28 and its floating lugs, the De Bethune brand offers diversity in style but exclusivity in numbers: fewer than 4,500 De Bethune watches have been produced since 2002, and annual production remains under 350 pieces per year.

Discover the entire history of De Bethune through its landmark models in this exhaustive historical showcase.
