DEWITT the Twenty-8-Eight High Jewellery Skeleton Tourbillon
A unique piece for Only Watch 2013
The Twenty-8-Eight High Jewellery Skeleton Tourbillon is a unique piece.
Special finishes has been made for ONLY WATCH: a pearly white skeleton movement and a “Black Gold” surface treatment on the flange. It is also engraved with “ONLY WATCH 2013” on the case back.
This exceptional piece fully complies with the very demanding finishing norms of the DeWitt Manufacture. Entirely hand-made, the treatment and finishing-work on this piece are of a rare quality. Case, plate, bridges, wheels and even miniature screws are all angled, polished, satin-finished and treated to perfection in the patient and meticulous hands of our watchmakers. Particularly eye-catching is the alternation of polished and satin-brushed finishing on the columns of the bezel, and the setting of baguette-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 3.7 cts).
As all watches made in DeWitt Manufacture, this creation is entirely assembled, adjusted and tested by a single master watchmaker.
The Twenty-8-Eight High Jewellery Skeleton Tourbillon is accompanied with a luxury presentation box and a certificate of unique piece.
