The De Bethune DB Kind of Grande Complication, reference DBK2TV2, is a reversible double-sided watch in polished grade 5 titanium. The case measures 43.3 mm in diameter and 13.85 mm thick. It sits between De Bethune’s patented floating lugs and rotates on its central axis, so either dial can face up. Both dials sit under anti-reflective sapphire crystals. The contemporary side shows hours, minutes, dead-beat seconds, a retrograde age-of-the-moon indicator, an end-of-power-reserve indicator and the ultra-light 30-second titanium tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The classic side shows a perpetual calendar with day, month, date and leap year, plus De Bethune’s spherical moon phase. Inside is the manually wound calibre DB2529, 30 mm wide, with 48 jewels, a 36,000 vph (5 Hz) frequency and a four-day power reserve from a self-regulating twin barrel.

Presented in April 2024, the watch combines patented ideas from De Bethune’s first 22 years. These include the twin barrel (2004), the spherical moon accurate to one lunar day in 122 years, the titanium tourbillon (2008), dead-beat seconds (2011) and the rotating case (2021). The classic face is a blued and polished titanium starry sky with hand-set white gold pins. Its Milky Way pattern is laser micro-milled and gilded with 24k gold leaf, and polished yellow gold hands are curved so they can pass over the moon sphere. The watch comes on an alligator strap with a polished titanium pin buckle. De Bethune quoted CHF 400,000 excluding taxes. Hodinkee reported USD 450,000 and a maximum of five pieces per year.

The DB Kind of Grande Complication won the Men’s Complication Watch Prize at the 2024 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Monochrome described it as a compendium of the brand’s technical and aesthetic markers and noted that the case is relatively thin for the number of complications. Hodinkee’s Mark Kauzlarich praised both faces as a fitting summary of co-founder Denis Flageollet’s work. His one real criticism was legibility on the contemporary side, where the blued titanium hands are hard to read at a glance. He found the classical starry-sky side more practical and legible. As of October 2026 the watch remains in De Bethune’s DB Kind of Two collection and is in production in very small numbers.
