Baselworld 2014: DeBethune DB29 Maxichrono Tourbillon

DeBethune was founded in 2002 and is an independent company.  Their creations right from the start were full of new technical innovations, and new takes on complications such as the first 3D moonphase.

They are one of my favourite independent brands and this year they have created very nice looking and special chronograph.

A typical chronograph will have a bi compax or tri compax layout.  This means the watch will have either 2 or 3 subdials: One for the elapsed minutes (either 30 or 60 mins), hours(usually 12) and the last subdial contains the running seconds hand.

DeBehune has released a mono pusher chronograph with all functions stemming from the centre of the watch.  This means the hands for telling the time plus the chronograph functions all are located in the one place.  DeBethune has utilised the inner and outer tracks of the dial for the elapsed hours and minutes respectively.
