Press releaseThe new models come robed in pink gold, white gold and titanium, matched with the soft hues of bronze- and glaciercoloured PVD coating. The Academia Mirabilis continues to flaunt its powerful masculinity with its uncompromising geometry, alongside DeWitt's traditional 24 imperial columns sculpted in the flange, the notches on the bezel and the open-worked dial giving a plunging view into the heart of the movement. Academia Mirabilis (AC. MI. 003) DeWitt Like the four o'clock flower, also known as Mirabilis, which opens at dusk, the subtly drawn open-work between 7 and 12 o'clock offers a view of the delicate gear trains, the fine sand-blasting of its main plate and its hand-crafted finishes. The layering of the various levels on the dial adds relief and gives the replica watch an impression of depth. The sunray decoration creates a uniquely shimmering effect. The 18 carat pink or white gold rings set off the notches of the titanium bezel with its bronze- or glacier-coloured PVD coating, giving it a very distinctive geometric look and an uncompromising aesthetic. Academia Mirabilis DeWitt The 44 mm diameter case has a highly developed four-piece construction requiring over 200 operations, and houses a self-winding mechanical movement with a 48- hour power reserve. The watch's 28,800 vibrations per hour ensure an extremely high level of accuracy. The black rubber strap also helps drive home its technical and avant-garde aesthetic. Academia Mirabilis (AC. MI. 004) DeWitt At every level, this new timepiece lives up perfectly to the very high standards of finishing adopted by the DeWitt Manufacture, with surfaces polished, bead-blasted and bevelled. There is also a "W" engraved on the crown as well as on the buckle. With its subtle associations of materials and colours, and stark masculinity, the new Academia Mirabilis replica watch flaunts its pure DeWitt aesthetic without compromise.
