De Bethune releases their smallest case that they ever made in a new DB28XS Starry Seas
“It is the culture and understanding of techniques and objects that enable the birth of such a project. For the creation of the DB28xs Starry Seas, the creative process that impelled me evokes the Japanese spirit of Wabi- Sabi, a Japanese concept that is virtually an art form and aims to bring individuals, objects and the environment into harmony.”
Wabi-Sabi is comparable to the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection propagated in Western civilisation. In the Japanese archipelago, this principle lying at the heart of many artistic fields, such as design and garden art, also evokes simplicity and frugality – which are making a strong comeback after the consumerist boom and the economic bubble. Witness the success of books on degrowth.
Three principles of the Wabi-Sabi concept emanate naturally from the DB28xs Starry Seas:
With its random guilloché pattern (which is a world’s first) creating a dial featuring a blued titanium wave reflecting a starry sky, the DB28xs Starry Seas offers us one of the three principles of Wabi-Sabi: the beauty of imperfect things that are impermanent and incomplete.
Through its small size and the sobriety of its silver-toned chapter-ring and movement, the second principle of Wabi-Sabi pervading it is the beauty of modest and simple things. Or at least apparently simple, for in the ultra-technical world of miniaturisation, this watch is a technical feat notably involving the extreme miniaturisation of the DB28’s patented ‘floating lugs’ system.
Finally, the result is a different, singular watch embodying the third definition of Wabi-Sabi: the beauty of atypical things.Between art and scienceFor the geniuses of the Age of Enlightenment, their aim was to create scientific instruments whose beauty emanated from their function, their mechanical sobriety and their simplicity. Powerful figures than transformed them into veritable objets d’art, calling on the best artisans of their time, including cabinetmakers, bronze- makers and enamellists such as Boulle, Caffieri and Coteau.
