About the Heritage Collection

Since 2002, De Bethune has been tirelessly laying the foundations of the 21st century horology. A subtle blend of time-honored skills and the latest scientific breakthroughs, devoted to the service of extreme chronometric precision. The quest for fine craftsmanship pushed to its very limits, to the point where aesthetic and technical aspects meet and merge, where form marries function in the pursuit of perfection.


These 13 models are no longer part of De Bethune's current collections, which makes them rare finds in the market today. Whether you are a collector, a watch enthusiast, or a lover of fine craftsmanship, the Heritage Collection offers a unique opportunity to witness the brilliance of a brand that continues to redefine the boundaries of Haute Horlogerie. This collection preserves the brand's legacy and contributes to the broader understanding of its significance within the Swiss watchmaking landscape.

The 1916 Company is proud to be the De Bethune's authorized retail partner, exclusively offering Heritage Collection pieces which come complete with a branded box, authenticity certificate, and a personal letter from Denis Flageollet.
