Lot Essay

A limited edition of just 28 pieces, 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, skeletonized 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.
