De Bethune DB28XP Meteorite DB28XPZM | The Hour Glass Official

DB28 XP Meteorite

The iconic “DB28XP” now appears with a black zirconium case and a meteorite dial featuring distinctive geometric shapes
A crystallised moment, testifying to the very birth of a galaxy!
De Bethune pays tribute to the pure and unrestrained force of nature. Created from a meteorite, the DB28XP Meteorite inspires and touches the explorer’s heart beating in every human being.
Ferrous meteorites have already been used at De Bethune, notably to create one of the cases of the famous Dream Watch 5 and then the dial of the DB28 Kind of Blue Meteorite.
Denis Flageollet, founder and Master Watchmaker of De Bethune, is passionate about meteorites. A passion that he nurtures by regularly trialling iron ore reduction processes with a view to one day making his own metal. His deep-felt interest in the material and his numerous attempts with Russian and Egyptian meteorites have led the Maison to work with a new kind of meteorite: Muonionalusta Meteorite.
