SIHH 2018 - Dewitt
Jérôme de Witt and his wife Viviane are the driving force of Montres Dewitt.
The Endless Drive is the newest model from this manufacture that prides itself that they make not only the movements, but also make their own their dials.
The endless screw in the center of the dial indicates the power reserve of the automatic movement between the hour and minute dials.
My personal highlight of the Dewitt collection is the
Mathematica. With its jumping hours and minutes, the numeral carousels
ending the calm of each minute with a swirl of movement.
The
Dewitt Academia Skeleton's claim to fame is the variable length hand of
the retrograde second. Unfortuately in my pictures the hand is always
on the short portion of the it's tragectory.
The Dewitt
Out of Time is focused on the seconds. The dead beat second dial is
paired with an optical "foudroyant" using a moiré pattern that circles
once a second..
Jérôme de Witts personel Small Seconds. Note the typical case shape.

I like a lot the idea of the Endless Drive. But I have had the chance to see it in real and my first impression has been confirmed. The legibility is very very reduced unfortunately
I was interested in the endless drive...
