Tipping a hat to automotive mechanics, as is its wont, DeWitt’s Academia Endless Drive’s most striking feature is the “endless screw” that dominates the dial — its rotation creates a sense of perpetual motion, while serving “as an allegory for time itself”. DeWitt explains that the watch has two degrees of freedom — as the 59-hour power reserve decreases, the screw rotates, and when the barrel is wound, the screw slides on its longitudinal axis. The hours and minutes are displayed through two discs located at 9 and 3 o’clock that rotate around a fixed central piece. The Academia Endless Drive is powered by the 5050 automatic movement, developed, produced and assembled by hand. The 42.5mm round case aspires to create an interplay of contrasting effects, by using a combination 18-carat rose gold and black rubber, paired with a calfskin leather strap. @dewittwatches . . #AutomaticWatch; #Chronograph, #Chronometer, #CollectibleWatch, #CollectibleWatches, #ExpensiveWatch, #HeirloomChronometer, #HeirloomTimepiece, #Heirloom#Tourbillon, #LuxuryTourbillon, #HeirloomWatch, #LuxuryChronograph, #LuxuryChronometer, #LuxuryTimepieces, #LuxuryWatches, #RegulatorWatch, #SkeletonWatch, #SwissWatch, #timepiece, #Watches, #horologigrafica#watchesofinstagram
