Re: Hands-on The De Bethune DB27 Titan Hawk V2
Oh I like that.
I think they say entry level because the original titanium DB27 Titan Hawk is £43,100! But then again it does have a date wheel and a 6 day power reserve for the extra cost.
There is an AD in London that stocks them. The floating lug design looks interesting. If I can find any suitably smart clothes to wear I may see if they will let me in to try one on.
One can always dream.

Still a brand I admire, but will probably never own.

I was lucky enough to live in the lovely old town of Béthune for a while, but that’s as close as I’ll get!

Re: Hands-on The De Bethune DB27 Titan Hawk V2
I agree. Strange mash up of lines, shapes and detailing. All very confused if you ask me. Unique for sure, but this would be a pass for me based on the looks, even if unlimited funds would be available.TigerChris wrote:^^^ I prefer the look of the town to the watch

Re: Hands-on The De Bethune DB27 Titan Hawk V2
I must say I'd had never heard of this brand before, definitely one that only a true WIS would know.
The finish and detailing looks amazing, that gorgeous display back.
I'm with Paul however in that this doesn't really do much for me style wise. I am not a fan of crown on top (bullhead) style at all although I understand the reason for that with this watch with the pivot points for their swivelling lug design (which does sound good).
In the highly unlikely event I ever had this sort of money to spend on a watch I think I'd look elsewhere.
