The Academia Differential Tourbillon was awarded the Premier Prix Innovation at the 2005 Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève. Spurred on by this recognition, the De Witt Manufactory set this exceptional piece in titanium with sparkling semi-precious stones, a first of its kind. Avant-garde in its combination of titanium, rubber and red gold, it attracts attention with its refined setting and a movement equipped with a patented differential system. Limited series of 25.
