DeWitt, An Approach Geared to the future of mechanical watchmaking

Passion, curiosity, creative audacity, taste for innovation and open-mindedness..... Passion, curiosity, creative audacity, taste for innovation and open-mindedness .....

These are some of the keys to the contemporary emergence of Les Montres DeWitt – in the space of barely four years – as a member of the exalted circle of innovative luxury watch manufacturers. They stem from the personality of Jérôme de Witt, whose personal history has inspired and condensed a body of values focused on a futuristic vision of horological micro-engineering.

As much an aesthete as a designer, free of the constraints imposed by tradition or by any professional past as a watchmaker, Jérôme de Witt set up an extraordinary dynamic in an unprecedented space of time: a World First presented in Basel in 2003 with the Pressy Grande Complication, followed in 2005 by the launch of an original technological concept: the Academia Tourbillon Différentiel. This model caused a sensation and won the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in the Innovation category.
