When the Tourbillon Mystérieux Academia, a watchmaking marvel featuring a skeleton movement painstakingly hand-decorated, is embellished with 93 baguette cut diamonds, emotion reaches its height. The Seconde Rétrograde Joaillerie Academia, with a delicately hand engine-turned fan-shaped seconds display, is the outcome of a remarkable endeavour to achieve a harmonious aesthetic effect: 41 baguette cut diamonds and 210 round diamonds are set on the middle and bezel of the Academia case, allied to noble materials for the dial (white gold and white mother-of-pearl). The supreme skill of the master watchmakers at DeWitt is still more apparent in the Alma Haute Joaillerie model. A rare and prodigiously elegant piece, adorned throughout with 362 baguette cut diamonds and teamed with an exclusive DeWitt bracelet. Such is the precious tribute to exceptional DeWitt women.
