In the world of independent haute horology, few brands evoke the same level of admiration as De Bethune. Known for blending futuristic innovation with artisanal craftsmanship, De Bethune’s creations are revered by serious collectors.
Among their finest is the DB25 Starry Varius—a watch that captures the cosmos not just in concept, but in stunning physical execution. This is not just a timepiece; it’s a poetic tribute to the stars.
🌌 A Celestial Work of Art

At the center of the DB25 Starry Varius lies its defining feature—a blued titanium dial hand-decorated with tiny gold pins and laser-milled micro-stars, creating a personalized night sky. Yes, you can even request to have the sky represent a specific date and location.
