DEWITT, TWENTY-8-EIGHT SKELETON TOURBILLON, AN ATTRACTIVE LIMITED EDITION GOLD WRISTWATCH WITH BAGUETTE-CUT DIAMOND BEZEL
The DeWitt Twenty-8-Eight Skeleton Tourbillon in white gold features an attractive diamond-set bezel which contrast well with the "black gold" finishing of the skeleton movement.
The movement is entirely hand-made – the case, skeletonised plates, bridges, wheels and even miniature screws are all angled, polished, satin-finished with great detail. This is the first skeletonized tourbillon from Geneva watchmaker.
DeWitt was established in 2003 by Jérôme de Witt, a fifth-generation descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte. The brand is synonymous with complex movements and complications.
