The History of
... DeWitt.... is exceedingly hard these days to find a brand with
an historical past nurtured by tradition and horological craftsmen.
To have a chance of successfully rising to this challenge, newcomers
must do everything in their power to unite a broad range of skills, to
distinguish themselves from the competition through the innovation
and the quality of their products, and to build a powerful identity
that then needs to be effectively communicated. DeWitt has
successfully accomplished this within just two years, finding its
place at the peak of the watch making pyramid with such persuasive
panache that it gives the impression of having occupied this slot
forever. The Academia Seconde chronograph, which is the object of this
test, clearly carries the DeWitt hallmark through its powerful
character which it mainly owes to the daring originality of its case.
The DeWitt Academia collection reflects the Manufacturer's freedom
from constraints and drive to breathe a sense of newness into the
conservative world of timepieces..

DeWitt... Movement....Mechanical Manual Winding movement Caliber DW 8003- 26 jewels, 21,600 Vph, Plate and bridges with Côtes de Genève, escapement concept which is introduced here gets the energy of the barrel only once per second and sends it to the tourbillon every 10 seconds…
“Watch has been in House Serviced, comes with Classwatches 1 year Service Warranty”...
This
process of dosed force transmission can be followed through a dial
aperture where a cross-shaped inertial element with four hammers
performs six revolutions per minute. DeWitt's solution involves
inserting an additional mechanism into a traditional mechanical
movement in order to exchange a motive power, which may be variable or
irregular (effort of gear-train or barrel-spring), for another,
perfectly constant force – whatever the degree of winding of the
barrel. In other words, the device is designed to transmit impulses
whose energy remains identical and regular, however taut the
barrel-spring, thanks to three additional wheels: one to ensure correct
gear operation; and two intermediate wheels between the motive force
(barrel) and the regulator (Tourbillon)...
