DeWitt Academia Double Fuseau GMT2 Poetic Watch

Uniquely designed DeWitt watches has released this new interesting line of Academia Double Fuseau GMT2 Poetic timepieces. In most respects this is a traditional GMT watch with a fourth hand on the dial serving as an adjustable 24 hour time indicator. Added to that is a small disc with an image of a globe located at the 12 o'clock position that revolves behind a tinted crystal partition showing the day and night regions of the world according to the time set by the GMT hand. It is a fun and useful complication. The globe itself is made from a process called "Goldfuss," which is also know as gold glass, and is very rare to find and hard to work with. The level of detail showing the outlines of the continents and included countries is quite impressive.

The DeWitt Academia Double Fuseau GMT2 Poetic is available in 43mm wide 18k white or rose gold cases and features a mechanical automatic movement. The movement also features a date complication in addition to the time and GMT hand. Like most DeWitt watches, the bezel features the iconic crenellation design, while the sides of the watch have engraved 'imperial columns." A nice and in my opinion simple addition to the DeWitt watch line.
