The Vandoeuvres-based watch firm DeWitt has made a name for itself in a comparatively short time, by focusing on exclusive complications, magnificent gem-setting and other exclusive specialties rendered with the finest of craftsmanship.  One of the horological specialties which DeWitt watches are famed for, are unusual and inventive tourbillon movements.

The DeWitt Academia Tourbillon Force Constante watch incorporates a mechanism with three additional wheels; this device modulates the power transmitted from the mainspring barrel.  Whether the mainspring is fully charged, or near the end of its reserve, the amount of energy transmitted to the watch is constant, thus improving accuracy and timekeeping performance–something fully in keeping with the original inspiration for the invention of the tourbillon itself.  Apertures in the dial  reveal the constant force regulator and another shows the flying one-minute tourbillon.

Another innovative DeWitt tourbillon watch is the brand’s Tourbillon Differentiel, which focuses on reducing the time required to wind the watch, by means of an ingenious and intricate spherical differential that is spectacularly displayed on the dial, along with the flying tourbillon and a power reserve indicator. Like the Academia Tourbillon Force Constante watch mentioned previously, this prestigious DeWitt timepiece is presented in a range of exotic variants, including models extensively set with diamonds.
