  • Catalogue Essay

    DeWitt watches are works of art, which are produced solely in house by the manufacturer. With complete control over design, technical specifications and production, the firm is able to create some of the most intriguing watches available today. At first glance, the bold design may feel overwhelming, but on closer inspection, the beauty and technical achievements make apparent how this watch is a outstanding timepiece.

    The present Academia Quantième Perpétual GMT Nebula is number 33 of a limited number of 99 examples. The aesthetically pleasing dial is uniquely laid out in a V-shape format so that the day and date are in the largest subsidiary dial, followed by the month and 24-hour indicator in smaller subsidiary dials, with the small dial the leap year indication. The dial is enhanced by the moon phase sector, which is highlighted by a nebula spiral on the silicium plate. Much like the ethereal interstellar cloud, DeWitt’s watches are an amalgamation of many components, the present example is made from 18k pink gold, titanium and black ceramic. Complete with box and papers, and in wonderfully new condition, the GMT Nebula is an intriguing watch that has a modern aesthetic.
