Good to know:
- Dual-time wristwatch
- 3D globe rotates according to timezone, and acts as a day-night indication
- Decorated with the famous DeWitt Imperial Columns on the caseband

- DeWitt founder Jérôme de Witt’s family roots, related to Napoleon Bonaparte and European royalties, makes him to develop a sense of respect for ancestral heritage and inspired his watchmaking journey.

- Inspired by the travels of Jérôme de Witt, the Academia Hour Planet is a dual-time wristwatch with a rotatable globe bordered by the signature DeWitt chain that is made by hand. The globe also acts as a day-night indicator, rotating according to the timezone, and presenting time in a more visualizing way.

- Cased in 18k pink gold, the bezel and caseband are connected with the DeWitt Imperial Columns, a nice touch in showing the design under his noble influence, and how it is applied to a watch with modern aesthetic.

- The present watch operates on a fully in-house manual movement. It features a suspending balance regulator. The DeWitt chain, crafted by hand from 192 components, and the rotating globe surely show that the watch is an incredible piece of art.
