The Dream Watch collection was conceived to implement the most daring ideas, both design and technical. The collection was launched in 2008 with the Dream Watch One, featuring an unusual case, inspired by the DBS collection, with a crown at 12 o’clock, extraordinary angular floating lugs that allow the watch to be comfortably felt on the wrist by the wearer, and two push buttons for rate adjusting the case back cover. The Dream Watch One was commercialised in 2009, accompanied by the introduction of the De Bethune Dream Watch Three, which is an evolution of the Dream Watch One design with several innovations. It is worth noting that the brand originally announced it as the Dream Watch One Tourbillon. Among the innovations of the Dream Watch Three, it should first be noted that the avant-garde ultra-light tourbillon weighs only 0.18g. It is made of titanium and silicon, with a silicon hairspring and escape wheel, while the balance is made of titanium with a white gold rim. The brand considers it the world’s lightest tourbillon regulator. In addition, it is also one of the fastest tourbillons, operating at 36,000 vph, and the first model in the De Bethune collection to feature a tourbillon open on the dial side.
