DeWitt has enhanced its legendary constant force tourbillon with a system that relays energy to its associated power reserve indicator. Rotating the crown when winding the barrel-spring drives a miniature chain, which uses an intermediate wheel to activate the power reserve indicator sliding on a worm screw. Three years after developing an ingenious patented regulating system - three extra wheels transmitting impulses of identical force to the tourbillon, whatever the barrel's degree of tension - DeWitt has now taken innovation to even greater heights.

DeWitt's Academia Night Chronograph measures short periods of time in a day and night mode. Offering both fun and functionality, this creation, dressed in a noble case with an "Imperial Columns" motif, indicates day and night with Superluminova alternating between the white and black areas. While the aesthetic principles of the chronograph sequential seconds counter remain unchanged, this model is now presented in a pink gold or a pink and white gold case and highlights the nocturnal legibility of its indications.

Here is the new DeWitt Academia Silicium Hora Mundi wristwatch that was introduced at Baselworld 2007. It has a really cool looking grey silicium dial and a white gold case with bezel and middle sections engraved with the DeWitt "Imperial Columns". It has a black alligator strap and has 24 time zones symbolized by 24 cities and a date window at 3. DeWitt makes very nice watches, but unfortunately most of the Academia line costs over $200,000.
