THE NEW DE BETHUNE DB KIND OF TWO TOURBILLON is a twosided watch with a contemporary tourbillon dial that the wearer can flip to show a classical time-only dial .
Like other two-sided watches , the new De Bethune watch means the wearer can choose to expose one of two different dials on his or her wrist .
One side of the 42.8mm titanium watch displays the contemporary design with multi-level elements and delta-shaped bridge for which De Bethune is identified . This dial features the brand ’ s distinctive central hours and minutes hands and its high-speed tourbillon and a thirty-second indication . Here however , De Bethune altered its deltoid-shaped bridge just a bit to make it perfectly symmetrical , a design meant to create a stark sense of harmony .
CLASSIC SIDE On the other side of the DB Kind of Two De Bethune offers a more classical three-hand , time-only hand-guilloché dial , complete with Arabic numerals collectors might recognize from the brand ’ s DB8 and DB10 . Note that the seconds indication on this side is centrally based , unlike the tourbillon-based seconds indication at the 6 o ’ clock position on the other side .
De Bethune notes that two-dial watches and clocks have a long history , starting with multi-face tower clocks and extending to
