The railtrack motif, the applied hour-markers, the 18K pink gold openworked dagger-shaped hands and the full-grain alligator leather strap\u2009: this subtle array of features combine to create a line demonstrating full mastery of the art of traditional Swiss watchmaking and embodying a constant quest for aesthetic harmony and purity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is the brand\u2019s unequivocally imperial reference.

The new\u00a0<strong>TWENTY-8-EIGHT Tourbillon T8.TH.016<\/strong>\u00a0is equipped with Caliber DW8028 incorporating the first tourbillon movement entirely developed and produced within the Manufacture. Its distinctive aesthetic plays on contrasts through a daring combination of noble materials featuring an innovative style\u2009: 18-carat pink or white gold and titanium with a bronze or glacier-toned PVD coating. On the upper part of the dial, the two vertical appliques are inspired by an extremely masculine and imposing Art Deco construction featuring a futuristic touch. Another star model in this collection, the limited-edition\u00a0<strong>TWENTY-8-EIGHT Tourbillon Skeleton T8.TH.008,<\/strong>\u00a0is housed in a round 18-carat pink gold case measuring 10.78 mm thick and providing a fascinating transparency-effect view of the beating heart of the movement.\u00a0 The gaze is inevitably drawn to the finesse of its mechanism, an impressive maze of overlapping curves, circles and straight lines. These architectural lines set the seal on a successful alliance with the design of the case adorned with 48 imperial columns and epitomizing a blend of distinction and refinement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/preprod.gmtmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DeWitt_W_2_2013.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>GOLDEN AFTERNOON<\/strong><strong>\u00a0GA.AU.001 &#8211; 003 &#8211; 005<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Case\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a018K white or pink gold set with 146 brilliant-cut diamonds, round with DeWitt imperial columns on the sides \u00a0<strong>Size\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a039 mm\u00a0<strong>Movement\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0 mechanical automatic Caliber DWT8AU, 42h power reserve\u00a0<strong>Functions\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0hours, minutes, seconds\u00a0<strong>Dial\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0chocolate brown, black or white mother-of-pearl base adorned with mother-of-pearl flowers in different sizes and colors radiating out from the center and sprinkled over the dial\u00a0<strong>Water resistance\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>30 m\u00a0<strong>Strap\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>alligator leather or satin in various colors with polished 18K pink or white gold pin buckle with \u201cW\u201d engraving<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the GOLDEN AFTERNOON collection,<\/strong>\u00a0DeWitt wished to offer a resolutely poetic evocation of the various stages in a woman\u2019s life and the evolution in her perceptions of the world around her. Inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite artistic movement that arose in Victorian England celebrating women, romance and symbolic nature, the watch is available in a choice of three colors: chocolate brown, white or black. The dial depicts a dainty mother-of-pearl garden in which a soft breeze blows across colorful blooms of varying sizes and colors that begin in the center and are poetically dotted around in an apparently random manner. Like an exquisite painting, the mother-of-pearl dial base forms a shimmering sky with discreet fluffy clouds mirrored in a pond scattered with diamond-set water lilies. The hour and minutes hands are tiny refined sculptures depicting angel wings, while the slender and elegant seconds hand is tipped with a small flame. On the lower left-hand side of the dial, a small DeWitt logo floats dreamily in the sky. This supremely feminine 39 mm watch housing an automatic caliber endowed with a 42-hour power reserve is a magnificent illustration of feminine finesse. The softly shaped crown is adorned with a cabochon-cut blue sapphire or a ruby. A polished gold pin buckle finely engraved with the DeWitt logo lends an additional finishing touch.
