Swiss watchmaker De Bethune has produced an unusual watch Ninth Mayan Underworld, dedicated to the Mayan calendar. It is the same calendar, which according to one version predicts the end of the world, but on the other one - the completion of 394-year cycle and the transition to the ninth cycle - "Underground". What exactly does all this mean, perhaps, no one knows, but the Ninth Mayan Underworld watch will be a great gift for lovers of archeology and history.

A gold dial for this watch is made with own hands of the engraving master Michelle Rothen. On the outer ring of the dial blued hour indexes are set. The inner ring is decorated with images of twenty various deities and sacred of Maya. The central part of the dial is decorated with a symbolic calendar. The whole dial in a whole is very similar to ceramic and stone sculptures of the Maya. The watch hands are made of transparent sapphire glass and decorated with blued steel tips in the form of ritual symbols of the Maya.

The Ninth Mayan Underworld watch is dressed in a round case made of white gold. Its diameter is 44 mm and a thickness of 12.5 mm. In addition to the double antiglare sapphire crystal on the dial, the watch has a transparent window on the case back. Through it can be seen the beautifully decorated mechanism DB 2005 with manual winding, on the 29 jewels, having a balance wheel from silicon and platinum. Two winding barrels DB 2005 provide a six-day power reserve.

The Ninth Mayan Underworld watch is delivered on a black leather alligator strap. Total production is 12 numbered items of the unique model. This watch will hardly be popular in the new 2013 year. But now 12 lucky people can play the next End of the World, reminding about it with his new De Bethune watch, made in the Mayan style. By the way the famous Mayan calendar ending in 2012 is like a round watch dial. Perhaps, like the watch, after the 12-year just follows the 1st one?
