De Bethune: DB Kind of Two Jumping GMT

Last Updated: February 14, 2026By

Overview

The De Bethune Kind of Two GMT is an inventive dual-time wristwatch that showcases the brand’s flair for avant-garde design and technical ingenuity. Built around a distinctive reversible case, this model offers two very different personalities in one: a refined, classic dial on one side and a bold, modern GMT display on the other — giving wearers the flexibility to switch between elegant minimalism and dynamic traveller functionality.

At its core is a high-performance in-house automatic movement with a jumping GMT mechanism that enables precise local time adjustment without stopping the balance. The innovative architecture reflects De Bethune’s dedication to horological advancement, including efficient energy management and beautifully finished components visible through the exhibition caseback. The case itself marries contemporary materials and ergonomic proportions, ensuring comfort on the wrist despite its complex functionality.

Limited in production, the Kind of Two GMT appeals to collectors who appreciate originality, duality in design, and cutting-edge mechanical solutions — a watch that’s as intellectually engaging as it is visually striking.
