At the other end of the scale
FrX, Thanks for the report. DeWitt does their own electrolysis of the dials. Very few 'manufacturers' make their own dials so DeWitt using many different techniques to decorate their dials is rare. At the other end of the scale of entry-level Twenty-Eight...
This is a superb watch... inspired by the NY architecture.
I didn't haved the chance to handle the Purists version. But some others. I was very impressed by them, by their dials, by their overall beauty and the technical features. I will come back to this one: Thanks for the post and for the news about the availa...
