De Bethune takes to the skies for its Only Watch

First published: 17-06-2011

De Bethune is the latest watch brand to show off its Only Watch of 2011, with a design that hopes to celebrate the night sky.

Entitled the De Bethune DB25 Only Watch 2011, the dial of the timepiece chooses not to focus on reading the time but instead the constellations of Orion and Gemini.

These are both illustrated with stars made up of white gold or invisible set diamonds, while a flame blue and titanium dial presents an elegant backdrop.

Of course, wearers can still acquire the time through a pair of discs toward the six o'clock position of the watch's face.

Featured on one of these discs are the hours via Roman numerals, while another presents Arabic numerals to indicate minutes.

Only Watch is an annual fundraising auction within the watchmaking industry. Now in its fourth year, the event will take in special timepieces from 40 established brands on September 22nd.
