Introducing The Endless Drive Of DeWitt Academia
DeWitt is a famous atelier known in the modern world of luxury watch collection. They often create complicated movements with simple, responsive and classic designs. In addition, they are known as masters of innovation in the watch world. DeWitt goes back to the founder Jerome DeWitt. The horologist, a direct descendant of the French emperor Napolean Bonaparte, founded his company in 2003 in Geneva. Since the company was founded, over 400 watches have been manufactured and dozens of designs have been patented.
In addition, the DeWitt appreciation of vehicle features often influences the design of their watches. One of the newest watches from the DeWitt Academia line is the DeWitt Academia Endless Drive. It offers some cool mechanical touches (more on that later) and is a great addition to the DeWitt portfolio. The timepiece is somewhat minimalistic, but it brings new ideas to the ground that have not been seen in mechanical watches.
The case
This watch by DeWitt is available in about 42.5 mm, an average size for a luxury watch of this type. It has a good look on the wrist without appearing overbearing, and contains the Imperial column motif, for which all DeWitt watches are known. In addition, there is a sapphire crystal above the dial for easy and clear display. The case itself is made of pink gold, with significant parts made of black rubber. This provides an excellent contrast for the outer ring of the watch, which almost seems to glow. It is also waterproof to 3 atm - so you can never break it even when immersing. Well, if you do not do it on purpose.
The dial and the screw
The first thing you'll notice about the DeWitt Academia Endless Drive is the auger screw that runs right in the middle of the clock. It is a power reserve meter where a small portion of the screw slowly turns red (and not green) as the stored voltage of the watch wears off. It's like a mechanical "battery indicator". On both sides of the clock, there are two discs indicating the hours or minutes. They are white and therefore offer an excellent contrast to the black, galvanic dial, which was made in-house by this studio. There are no hands on the clock - the discs spin to indicate the correct time.
The movement
The movement is a modified DeWitt caliber 5050, which has been custom-made and patented in-house. It can store up to 59 hours of electricity and consists of an amazing 320 parts. 39 of them are jewels. In addition, you can observe this movement in action through replica watches Cartier the watch's case lid, which provides a sectional view of the mechanism. Worth mentioning is also the screw. As it goes through its 12-hour cycle and slowly reveals the red bar, it actually slides down. It continues until it reaches the bottom, at which point the energy runs out. When the crown is turned, it will steadily return upward until it reaches the top level of the green again. The caseback is engraved with the DeWitt logo and a few other words along the rose gold rim. It is truly a work of art - not only does it provide an excellent view of the mechanism and an impeccable contrast to the rest of the clock, but also with an elegant aesthetic sense.
The ribbon
The belt of the DeWitt Academia Endless Drive is a smooth calf leather strap. It's a great color for this watch and makes it fit for almost anything. The 18K gold buckle with the DeWitt logo binds the entire watch together. The juxtaposition of black and gold and black again fake watches Cartier provides a beautiful effect and excellent contrast for the power meter and the hour and minute discs.
The price
The DeWitt Academia Endless Drive is a great choice for the discerning watch collector. It comes at a hefty price of about $ 40,000. However, if you consider the outstanding attention to detail and the revolutionary mechanisms of the watch, this investment, which can one day pay off, is well worth it. And if not, you still have a fantastic watch to hold on to.
The judgment
Overall, the DeWitt Academia Endless Drive is a pretty solid watch. It has a great aesthetic sense and a minimalist look and would suit any style. The ingrained mechanical power meter is a cool feature you will not see in many other places. All in all, if you have the money, this is a good choice for any collection.
