DEWITT – Twenty-8-Eight Regulator A.S.W. Horizons
The background for DeWitt’s new creation is the majestic New York of the 1930’s, stimulating, prosperous, and characterized by the Art Deco movement and its innovative, modern, aerodynamic lines. Comprising 320 components, the DW8014 calibre expresses the same inventive audacity. The 100% Manufacture DeWitt movement introduces a patented Automatic Sequential Winding (A.S.W.) device driven by a peripheral oscillation rotor. The dial is dominated by an impressive construction whose four columns tower majestically over the tourbillon. The balanced structure of the sunray-decorated dial and the chocolate-brown tones of the sapphire crystal reinforce the exclusive character of this exceptional timepiece. Limited edition of 250.
