20 Years of De Bethune

De Bethune and local retailer The Hourglass held an intimate dinner last night with friends, celebrating a wholesome 20 years of De Bethune. Joining the party was Pierre Jacques and Jorg Hysek Jr from DB, representatives from The Hourglass, as well as many familiar faces of friends. I'm not a great story teller, so I'll let the pictures speak for me.




As usual, the party normally starts from my side of the table, and from there... the watch pile starts to grow.




I guess at this point, food is secondary but the watches are in focus Some unique watches made an appearance, including the DB Kind of Two Jumping GMT, Dream Watch 5 as well as the Sensoriel Chronometry Project (and a quick break to grab some grub).




Let's have a look again at some of the DB28s. Can you name them all? There is one piece unique here, if you are able to spot it!





Consolation prize: the other watches... still titanium, and both on colourful rubber straps!



Overall, it was a fantastic night out with De Bethune and The Hourglass, with good food, great watches and fantastic company. I hope you enjoyed the photos.

In the last image with a 3x3 grid, it is the first one (top left). Next to it (top mid) is the regular Steel Wheels, which has a blue inner ring. The piece unique has a yellow one.
