“DB27 La Romanée 1865” a timepiece for history.
—
The Maison de Haute Horlogerie De Bethune, active member of Club 1865 by Baghera/wines, has gladly volunteered to establish a true partnership for the creation of a unique timepiece linking two worlds of exceptional expertise. The DB27 timepiece “La Romanée 1865” is a unique model. A burgundy dial on which a multitude of small white gold pins have been inserted one by one with great delicacy recreating the constellation that overlooked La Romanée on the day of the harvest on September 12th, 1865.
An exceptional vintage that made history
The year 1865 is also significant for Baghera / wines who chose this date to commemorate Rudyard Kipling’s year of birth and the founding of Beau-Rivage, Geneva. On the back of the watch, you will find a compendium of De Bethune’s technical innovations as well as the inscription “La Romanée 1865”. This exclusive timepiece equipped with the mechanical self-winding calibre comes with a burgundy coloured canvas strap.
A visit of the manufacturing facility followed by lunch with Michael Ganne (CEO of Baghera /wines) and Pierre Jacques (CEO of De Bethune) will be offered to the buyer and it will definitely include a few good wines ... 🍷
