Heralding its impressive return to the seventh edition of Geneva Watch Days, celebrated watch manufacturer De Bethune introduced a new edition of its cherished digital time display series. The DB25 Digitale, the brand’s latest offering, is a striking testament to its time-honoured tradition of fusing modern technology with timeless design aesthetics.

The brand’s digital display feature, first seen in 2006, has graced several models. The initial iteration was a comprehensive showcase of technical prowess, featuring an intricate calendar setup highlighting the day, date, and month, all presented with jumping hours and a scrolling minute disc. The DB28 Digitale, unveiled in 2014, sported slightly fewer complexities. Yet, it astounded with its avant-garde jumping hours and rotating minutes, propelled by the in-house calibre DB2144 that also powers the unique Dream Watch DW5 spaceship.
