Overview
An example of something more restrained from the DeWitt atelier, the Academia Small Second boasts a DeWitt in-house movement – the DeWitt DW5051. Produced at the brand’s Meyrin Manufacture in Geneva, it took three years to create and was developed to give the brand full autonomy, rather than relying (or not as the case may be) on third-party supplier. This admits DeWitt to highly exclusive club of “manufacture” maisons. Jerome DeWitt specially designed the movement so that the gear train and other mechanical features are visible through the sapphire caseback; through which you can also see the exquisite finishing that DeWitt prides itself on.
Dial side, things are more contemporary with a vintage twist, all bolstered by the brand’s signature sculpted bezel and 24 “imperial columns” around the case.
Inspiration
DeWitt chose its emblematic Academia collection to house its innovative new automatic calibre, entirely designed, produced and assembled by its master watchmakers at its own Manufacture. A fitting first home.

SKOLORR Comments
Although DeWitt’s first watch on the scene was the technical tour-de-force, GPHG-winning Academia Differential Tourbillon, the brand does offer pared-back styles, for whispering sophistication with quiet confidence.
