After the noteworthy launch of the DBM, an offbeat concept born from the original association between a smartphone and a mechanical pocket watch, De Bethune returns with its High Tech equivalent, the Dream Watch IV. 

Equipped with avant-garde armour in sculpted, specular-polished and beadblasted titanium, the Dream Watch IV simultaneously provides mechanical protection for the phone and electromagnetic protection for the user by reducing the physiological impact of its potentially damaging waves. 

This timepiece with its spaceship-inspired design features shimmering light effects playing across the complex dial architecture and the carefully chosen and fashioned materials. The dark gleam of the hand-polished blued titanium, the sparkling light of the white gold and diamond stars… The depth of this star-lit sky is revealed by the alternating convex outer curves and concave centre curves, featuring a “spine” that draws the gaze naturally towards the silvered hour and minute discs. 

With this exclusive creation issued in a 12-piece limited edition, David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet are once again breaking free of contemporary codes and customs to assert themselves as trendsetters associating the classic culture of fine watchmaking with the remarkable technology of third millennium smartphones. 

Dream Watch IV represents the mechanical watch designed for 21st century wear and which raises this accessory to the rank of an authentic work of art. A time sculpture dedicated to the visionary Steve Jobs and paying eloquent tribute to his groundbreaking genius. 

Available in a special limited edition, the Dream Watch IV by De Bethune will unveil its other functions at the De Bethune exhibition to be held in the Grand Lac salon of the Hotel des Bergues on the Quai des Bergues in Geneva from January 15th to 20th 2012.
