If you’re fascinated by space and time then the latest creation from De Bethune is just what you need. The DB28 Meteorite is, as its name suggests, made from an actual meteorite. This is the third time De Bethune’s co-founder Denis Flageollet has worked with this rare element, following on from the DB28 Kind of Blue Meteorite and the ultra-limited DreamWatch 5. Having previously used meteorites found in Russia and Egypt, Flageollet has crafted the DB28 from Muonionalusta Meteorite.
The precious metal was thought to have hit the earth more than a million years ago on the banks of the Muniono river between Sweden and Finland. It’s also said to be the oldest meteorite ever found, only adding to the bespoke appeal of this timepiece. Composed mainly of iron and nickel, the material has a 60-degree angle crosshatching pattern that’s unique to each watch. The metal is then treated to a thermal oxidation process that turns it from silver to blue to represent the sky before gold pins are added to represent the Milky Way. If you’re not a fan of that constellation, you can choose from any other starscape to feature on the dial.
The dial also has a blue titanium minute ring, pink gold hour hands, and De Bethune’s hinged floating lug system in dark blue. The polished black zirconium case of this cosmic wonder houses a 4Hz manually wound DB2115v7 movement with titanium balance and a six day power reserve. This fancy looking wristwatch is limited to just 10 pieces and is priced at $138,000 USD. You can find more information at De Bethune.
