For collectors not into traditional round watch with 3 hands - this is your antidote.
https://monochrome-watches.com/hands...n-specs-price/ De Bethune DB Kind of Grande Complication DBK2TV2 Eight complications spread across two dials. The contemporary face of the DBK2TV2 is home to the high-speed De Bethune 30-second tourbillon, the retrograde age of the Moon, the end of the power reserve indication and the time. Commanding the centre of the dial is De Bethune’s hallmark deltoid bridge, with its bright mirror-polished titanium surface supporting the asymmetric gear trains. The gleaming bridge is surmounted by a second, smaller blued-titanium deltoid structure for the minutes and jumping seconds bridge. IMG_20240409_073203_(768_x_511_pixel).jpg Swivelling the case of the DB Kind of Grande Complication reveals the more classical face, which hosts a perpetual calendar and a 3D moon phase display. IMG_20240409_073147_(768_x_511_pixel).jpg 42.3mm diameter x 13.85mm thickness CHF 400,000 |

I really do like the brand but I’ve passed on a few releases because the value proposition is very weird. Like you said it’s in that tough area where if I spend more I can get something even better but not for a substantially higher amount of money. I still want a streamliner because I love the design and how it wears on the wrist, but I’d definitely pay more for better finishing.

I mean candidly and with no ill will, I didn’t know Mr Cukrowicz personally. But aside from that one picture they unearthed of him wearing a wild colored jacket, what does any of the press release rehashes that were published on this watch tell us to explain how that particular cliché of modern luxury watch marketing and production is related to his character or who he was as a person? All I know about him is that he was very dedicated in building the FPJourne brand, which he certainly deserves credit for. But that achievement in classical and conservative watchmaking isn’t a particularly rainbow inspiring story. Perhaps you knew him or can otherwise shed some more light on how this is more than just a touching story attached to a watch with a commercially really « opportune » theme. I would genuinely like to learn more. But it’s not for the lack of reading what was out there.
