Heartbeat: De Bethune DB16 Perpetual Calendar

/3 Comments/in , /by

De Bethune has two main styles of timepieces in their collection: one which is more contemporary with models like the DB28 and Dream Watches, the other more classical. And the beautiful DB16 is as classical as they come, both in looks and in complications.
