Watch and Fashion News

The new DeWitt Twenty-8-Eight Regulator ASW Horizons watch invites the global watch fans to fly in the sky, passing through the horizon and overlooking their favorite city and building. To look into the disance with horizon meanwhile is the meaning of looking forward to the future, imagining the distinctive scene.

DeWitt inspired by Twenty-8-Eight Regulator ASW Horizons watch design and inspiration pays tribute to the art design, in-depth exploration of the Great Depression after the germination of the U.S. trend. In the historical trend, the time many U.S. industrial designer influenced by minimalist aesthetic, creating a series of innovative modern products such as automotive, marine, plant, and even a revolving restaurant. One influential designer Norman Bel Geddes made a new design point of view, for him, innovation is the embodiment of courage:

“We too follow the previous way of doing things, that rely on long-term accumulation of experience is necessarily the best mode behave relatively safe, but deprived of opportunities for innovation, it is difficult for people to surprise and sometimes break free, but to seek a breakthrough what we should do! However, to further, in addition to imagination, but also requires vision and courage might be successful. ”

This view is in accordance with Mr DeWitt’s watchmaking concept in many aspects. Bel Geddes published a new book in 1932, the definition of design has a unique perspective, creative thinking, later to become the future reference. Interestingly, this book called “Horizon” (Horizons) is inspired by the book Twenty-8-Eight Regulator ASW Horizons watch design inspiration.

DeWitt’s new watch set the scenes in the 1930s downtown New York City. This era of multiculturalism and the intersection of old and new, construct the new fashion capital. Here, natural stone and cold steel compatible coexistence of the modern era cathedral echoed with the old bridge. In this bold city, the dream can come true, architectural masterpieces, such as mushroom, free thrive.

The new Twenty-8-Eight Regulator ASW Horizons watch is equipped with a DW 8014 movement, the Baselworld 2010 and received an enthusiastic response for the first time available. While this new self-winding Tourbillon watch factory integration is Di Weite fully developed by the tourbillon, the author of the first complex regulating movement. It is worth mentioning that this movement with a very clever and innovative vibration from the outer edge of the rotor-driven auto-clockwise on the patent chain (ASW) equipment.

Outer edge of the vibrating rotor is connected to a sine wave with the internal edge of the ring, through the special shape of the boot patent ASW system, so that the movement is always in the main winding torque 92-96% of the ideal operating within the same time because the barrel can be transferred along the chain, the main gear will always have access to a constant power.

In fact, the two sine-shaped swing arm up and down the pole for the barrel on the chain, until the movement on the chain to 96% so far. At this point, the escapement bar button will claw loose, no longer barrel on the chain, and hanging way to run, not on the hook on the gear. Subsequent movement to save the power to run until it reaches 92% and the button hook claw back the gear up. This extraordinary technology just to use a manual on the chain barrel, you can achieve the desired operating range. It will also avoid the use of traditional sliding winding self-winding movement in the run-time by all the defects.

DW 8014 movement constitutes from about 320 parts, called DeWitt best watchmakers bold example of the perfect combination of DW 8028 type Tourbillon watch movement inherent in the essence of the classical device with ASW excellence in technological innovation. In addition, the core of the pendulum with the Phillips curve, vibration and Straumann Hairspring ® springs simultaneously at the same time made use of alloy, its material properties, including non-breaking, automatic compensation, non-oxidizing, and has anti-magnetic. Highly sophisticated configuration of flat rolling with gossamer (0.0001 mm), this mechanism brings high accuracy.

Twenty-8-Eight Regulator ASW Horizons watch pays a tribute to the wonderful variety of excellent urban design. Occupy the dial is composed of four cylindrical New York Art Deco building, designed this spectacular overlooks only under Tourbillon mechanism. The shape of the bottom of the scale-out gorgeous building, surrounded by Tourbillon framework and extended to both sides firmly. Perfectly balanced structure, decorated with the sun radiance patterns show the night before the soft lighting.

The other part of the dial highlights the ragged layer and the transparent effect. Chocolate brown tone sapphire crystal, and the case against the background of the central building of the distribution of warm breath rose gold, better to watch a glimpse of the mysterious internal structure.

Double-edged sword-shaped hour and minute hands in the home, just as the road to indicate the time of the two columns. Pointer jumping seconds ticking tourbillon frame in direct contact, a second pause, then skip to the next scale, with an elegant performance of pendulum position accuracy. 9 o’clock position and power reserve indicators, in the range of 180-degree semicircle indicated the amount of 72-hour power reserve.

18K rose gold round case has a diameter of 46 mm, the perfect proportion of it is a particularly comforwatch to wear. Case thickness is slightly thinner than the Academia series, side watch decorated with 48 imperial columns. Bezel polished and satin on the cross with cylindrical, design eye-catching fun. Lugs also been redesigned, slightly curved lines, while enriching the harmony.

Overlooking the sapphire crystal case back, you can see the beautiful movement: the outer edge of the rotor can be streamlined two-way swing, make fine decorative arts form the bridge at a glance. In addition, the framework can be seen from the flywheel powered, gear-driven jump through the small second hand lever, go out into the second hand every second wheel sliding up a tooth and a tooth on the next stop.

Finally, Twenty-8-Eight Regulator ASW Horizons watch is decorated with Côtes de Genève, satin matte surface, circular grained, polished and beveled edge, in full compliance with strict standards of DeWitt watch factory.

A romantic and symbolic watch has come out lately. It is named DeWitt Golden Afternoon watch, which is available in brown, white and black.

In the mid-nineteenth century Victorian England, the Brotherhood is composed of the Pre-Raphaelites United Kingdom painters, poets and critics, to praise women, romantic and symbolic creation of nature as its theme. They are not satisifed with the concept of Royal College, they want to return to a more direct and straightforward way of artistic expression, admired the rich detail, strong color and complex structure.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (Dante Gabriel Rossetti) is one of the characters to promote this artist field, and he hoped to strengthen the romantic link between poetry and art. Rossetti stressed the glory of color, he described the nature of women is often a symbol of creativity. The painting, “Daydream” (The Daydream, 1880) of a blend of beauty and mystery of women, women’s subtle and emotional tribute. Paintings of women in the United States has a rich tone, full of strong emotions.

Another artist was influenced by the pre-Raphaelite artist is Julia Margaret Cameron. She is the early history of portrait photography recognized one of the most influential figures, she shot many celebrity portraits make it a reputation. In her photographic works, Cameron Rong efforts to capturing the beauty. She has amazing talent, you can always “catch” the personalities of characters, their emotional state so vividly depicted in the photo came out. She soon created their own unique style of portrait photography, soft focus slightly hazy with a sense of well-designed structure, in a very allegorical approach emphasizes the emotional world of objects taken. His works that irresistible hint of melancholy, even in today’s world of photography, many of her works is still no one can surpass.

As she has close ties with with the previous Rafael, she met a warm-hearted photographer Charles Dodgson, he is known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Dodgson often Alice Liddell (the “Alice in Wonderland,” Alice’s archetypal characters in his book) as its theme of portrait photography. Later, Cameron Rong finds Alice is the best embodiment of the pre-Raphaelite style models, and photographs of her in the goddess of truth to the Greek interpretation of Al Alice Thea Julia Margaret Cameron Rong persistent pursuit of photography, she follows his own instincts, get rid of all the rules of the Victorian era and dogma. As a pioneer of the first art movement, artistic style and the Pre-Raphaelites to women, romantic and symbolic interpretations of the natural beauty of our creation DeWitt Golden Afternoon series, a source of inspiration.
