On DB's FB page Katidja has posted a very nice picture of the new classic DB25. I love it.... Cheers, Mark...  

I love this dial!

Awesome as DB can only be Thank you for sharing D

Always welcome to the club!

Indeed, another little beauty.

Terrific aesthetic...

Can these guys do no wrong??? It would be interesting to see that watch on a larger wrist: presumably the altered proportion would render the watch a little more 'discreet', and therefore even more compellingly stylish than it already is. Bravo DB, and th... 

A very nice addition indeed

Hey Pplater, Yes it is a new great design for each novelty they provide. I'd like to see it in the flesh very much too. Funny as they could significantly change the spirit of the DB25 with this outfit. Cheers, Mark

What's not to love...? (",)

This one is one of the very few from the DB collection...

I donĀ“t like. It is more like something I would expect from Jaquet Droz or others. Cheers, Oliver

This is a peculiar DB

 
 By: Mark in Paris : July 21st, 2014-15:03
with a very dary style and I understand everybody won't like it. I find it very far from what JD can do, maybe we could find a style inspiration from some Breguet but even there... Well there are plenty others to be satisfied with! Thanks for your input O... 

Thanks Mark,

Less stealth, more precious looking. Is that a general trend for the new collection? Interesting, off course, but personally, I still much prefer the previous DB25 line, with or without power reserve. ;)

Not a general trend

more a new little addition to satisfy diversity. If I remember well it is 40mm (and not 44 like usual DB25s). It certainly brings something more, less discreet but yet unique as in its style. Thanks for chiming in Z'. Cheers, Mark

Interesting to see where DB will go with enamel dials...

If this is just a beginning,well,we are in trouble...... De Bethune and enamel dial together....? Thanks Mark,this is a great piece. Mo

I can feel the ching ching Mo...!

I'd better get saving! Cheers Andrew

Yes, this is something I wouldn't have expected

 
 By: Mark in Paris : July 24th, 2014-03:48
as DB's style remains quite modern (even if inspired by the past). I'm usually not a fan of enamaled dials (reminds me of old dishes from old times :p) but, here, it has another meaning. This is certainly a watch I would love to wear... Best Mo.

This watch deserves a better picture...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : July 22nd, 2014-08:21
to be fully appreciated. DB's dials so far lived from the contrast of shapes, colours and reflectiveness. With enamel, the latter coordinates change probably fundamentally. Unfortunately the pic not well lit to allow a judgement now. Certainly a developme... 

You're right Magnus

Even with usual materials, the real experience is far from pics. I'd love to feel it in the metal to see if this confirms my first impressions. Cheers, Mark

WOW! i think i have fallen in love!

 
 By: Indohorology : July 23rd, 2014-00:48
hope to be able to encounter the watch in metal soon... thanks for the post, Alex

I think we are all waiting for this experience

 
 By: Mark in Paris : July 24th, 2014-03:52
but it looks great! Cheers.

A couple of pictures I found on my HD for Magnus...

If Pics taken last Basel....... Mo ...  

The second one is just magical...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : August 3rd, 2014-08:48
I am not sure about the inclined roman numerals on the first one (they give the watch a 'spin' I am not sure I like) but the second one is so ethereal that I fear I will stop breathing. Its like a treasure chest... Its a totally new direction (for DB) whi... 

Same for me

 
 By: Mark in Paris : August 4th, 2014-13:50
I also find the second one with blue outside and white inside much more appealing. Really looking forward to see it in the metal one day ...

What a great-looking ladies DB

 
 By: RobCH : August 2nd, 2014-07:42
Those are sweet pics guys! Looking fwd to encountering that one on the metal...

Not only!

 
 By: Mark in Paris : August 5th, 2014-05:40
The first pictures I saw are the ones Mo posted just above. It's a perfect watch for men too. But you're right, here on this wrist it shows a very nice fitting to women too. Cheers.
