Today we bring you the Twenty-8-Eight High Jewellery Skeleton Tourbillon by DeWitt.
DeWitt
Founded in 2003, DeWitt has become a formidable brand reflecting the vision of it's founder, Jerome de Witt.The first timepiece to bear the name was released that same year, the Pressy Grande Complication and comprised tourbillon, minute-repeater, fly-back chronograph and bi-retrograde perpetual calendar complications, paying homage to the most elaborate and respected watchmaking traditions.
Shortly thereafter, DeWitt was awarded the the prestigious honour of First Prize for Innovation at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève for its "Academia Tourbillon Différentiel", a timepiece of a rare distinction with a Tourbillon mechanism and a patented differential system.This highly regarded sign of recognition immediately positioned the young DeWitt brand at the top of the Haute Horlogerie ladder.
Demonstrating a philosophy of unique vision, daring to be different and unconventional, DeWitt launched its first concept watch, the WX-1, at once an exclusive timepiece and an objet d’art. It immediately highlighted the creativity of the House of DeWitt. This exceptional creation embodies a range of cultural values merging design, futurism, sophisticated construction of its various elements with a vertical flying tourbillon and five barrels ensuring a 21-day power reserve.
DeWitt designs and produces watches in a world of its own. Every DeWitt watch is built by a passionate and dedicated master horologist and incorporates a clever twist on the classical watchmaker's art. And this is precisely what sets the brand apart.
