DeWitt @ IGOTT2 Day One PRESENTATION
IGOTT2: Manufacture DeWitt
Las Vegas, NV USA
Hello all!
We had a variety of manufacturers and
Independents at IGOTT2 and it was interesting to hear from certain ones
that aren't part of the mainstream. When I saw the itinerary
for the day, I noticed that DeWitt was on the
schedule. Honestly I'm not familiar with the them
but I was first exposed to DeWitt from my regular AD who carried the
line and had a cool looking carbon dialed Retrograde Seconds. I
also was wondering why they were chosen as one of the Purist' event
brands and how they embodied our values.
The
presentation began with our featured M.C. and PuristS moderator, Melvin
aka MTF. Ms. Nathalie Veysset, CEO of DeWitt gave us a brief
history of the company and the vision behind the
brand.
Interesting story of how
she arrived to where she is today: Ms. Veysset was practicing
Law (specializing in accounting and tax law) when her client, DeWitt
founder Jerome DeWitt, offered her to join is company. Horology is in her blood, her father was a watchmaker and she grow up
in La Chaux-de-Fond.
Even though she is a
female CEO in a industry dominated by men, you could tell that her
intelligence combined with her tenacity is well respected by her
peers.
We get a glimpse of the
ONLY watch, the DeWitt X-Watch, that will be auctioned off to
charity later this year.
Now we get to the good
stuff, the PuristS 10th anniversary piece! The unique piece
features their first 100% in-house Tourbillon (caliber DW8028) with a
stunning Art Deco inspired dial.
The watchmaker explained
the complex nature and extraordinary effort that went into the construction of the
dial
The handwork and
exquisite finishing that goes into the DeWitt P10
