    the voice, the soundtrack, the video and the macro shots... the lot... has the same calming, hypnotic feel of a meditation session. will probably never see, let alone own this watch. but boy, what a joy to watch!

    It's quite astonishing that such brands are virtually unknown to most of us and more so with such an amazing in-house production that involves everything! This channel is so great for enlightening us of such hidden gems. Thanks!

    Thank you for bringing De Bethune up again in your videos, a brand that was "out of my radar" (and is out of my budget for that matter) for many years. Even the most legendary of names, need to be mention once in a while, for us aficionados to turn to them again, and for new admirers to be born.
    Fine work as always guys.
    And for all your followers, keep healthy and safe.
    Cheers.

    This is why I am so excited to see a new video from Watchfinder. It shows something completely different, the history, the "so what" that other places lack. In this case for this channel, it's a "oh ye if little knowledge, prepare thy mind to be detonated." Keep up the excellent work!

    I’m not unreservedly enthusiastic about all their pieces, but the DB15 is one of their models which ticks every box as far as I’m concerned. Aesthetically it’s a triumph (especially in coloured gold) and, so far as the engineering goes, it’s a knock-out.

    Honestly, De Bethune watches, like the Starry Varius, could have been the next Chronometer Blu, but unlike F.P. Journe, De Bethune raised the price of the Starry Varius to match the resell price, so people didn't notice the massive hike from 20K to 100k in that line.
