Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey isn’t just dazzling fans with his on-court performances—he’s also turning heads with his sophisticated taste in luxury watches.
Among the standout pieces in Maxey’s enviable collection are two timepieces from the renowned Swiss watchmaker De Bethune, a brand celebrated for its avant-garde designs and horological innovation.
Maxey’s passion for De Bethune began with the DB28 Skybridge, a titanium masterpiece that embodies celestial elegance.
This timepiece features a floating dial, a power reserve of six days, and exquisite details like a power reserve indicator and small seconds subdial. For Maxey, it’s a statement piece that aligns perfectly with his dynamic and precise playing style.
Adding to his collection is the DB28 Star Wheel Moon Phase Limited Edition, an ultra-rare piece with a production run of just 25 units. This watch showcases De Bethune’s signature Star Wheel system for displaying time, paired with an artistic moon phase complication. Its rarity and craftsmanship make it a true collector’s item—one that mirrors Maxey’s unique stature in the NBA.
In a recent video posted on Instagram, Maxey shared his admiration for De Bethune, saying:
“My very nice and beautiful De Bethune. I love this watch, man. Great watch. It got in the golds with everything. I love the leather band. I can wear it sporty. I can dress it up. A lot of people have stopped and said, ‘Hey, where you get that watch from? What brand is that watch?’ De Bethune. They don’t know what it is, then they go look it up. And now, you know, they’re another fan of the watch.”
Maxey also highlighted the versatility of his De Bethune watches, noting how easily he can switch between wristbands to suit any occasion, whether on or off the court.
His enthusiasm for horology has inspired others to explore the artistry behind luxury timepieces, shining a spotlight on a brand revered among watch aficionados.
Maxey’s appreciation for De Bethune demonstrates his refined taste and commitment to excellence—a combination that makes him a standout both in the NBA and in the world of watch enthusiasts.
