DeWitt, Tourbillon Différentiel Academia “Espoir 2005”, IRM Pantented, Unique Piece. Notes Jérôme de Witt, builder of the DeWitt Manufacture Jérôme de Witt is possessed by the art of Haute Horlogerie, "wonderstruck by this art of the infinitely small that creates movement … enchanted by these geniuses of invention who are forever pushing the limits of technology to better tame the passage of time … fascinated by this slow and respectful labor of the watchmaker, who loves his creation, which, by dint of science and patience, becomes his brainchild, his legacy." Jérôme de Witt’s intent is to share his passion for timepieces with those who have the privilege of being his friends. His quest for perfection is absolute. The pieces that he conceives and commissions from the best artisans of our day take shape over many months because this perfectionist sends the product back to the workbench again and again. Jérôme de Witt supervises and will not tolerate even the tiniest defect until the timepiece is worthy of bearing the DeWitt name. He designs and has the master watchmakers in Vandoeuvres develop exceptional watches in limited editions, which he offers to his peers… they must approach absolute perfection! Thus, DeWitt will not hesitate to create new companies and work hand in hand or in association with partners with the highest talents of this era in time. DeWitt, the 21st century Manufacture.
