Lot Essay
A 21st-century horological masterpiece, the Academia Tourbillon Mysterieux represents the pinnacle of DeWitt’s grand complication timepieces. Measuring an impressive 43 mm in diameter, this pink gold semi-skeletonized tourbillon is number 2 of a limited edition of 50 pieces. The combination of the pink gold case and chocolate brown dial is sublimely attractive.
Manufactured entirely in-house, each DeWitt tourbillon is assembled by a single master watchmaker. Every component is perfectly hand-finished, with particular attention given to the anglage and mirror-polished screws, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship. The visible one-minute tourbillon is prominently placed in the lower half of the exposed movement within the dial ring, allowing for full admiration.
The impressive case follows DeWitt’s signature ‘Imperial Column’ style, featuring a distinctive decoration inspired by architectural columns from classical antiquity.

The DeWitt Manufacture was founded in 2003 by Count Jérôme de Witt to create exceptional and innovative handcrafted Master Complications. Encompassing all traditional watchmaking activities - from the conception of horological innovations by engineers and designers to the production of every hand-finished movement component by master watchmakers - it also integrates the highly complex art of in-house dial manufacturing. This process relies on a team of specialists, including enamellers, electrotypers, setters, and others.
