**De Witt** (later called **DeWitt** or **Dewitt**) is a [[Geneva]]-based watchmaker founded in [[2003]].

===== Overview =====
The Swiss watch manufacturer **DeWitt** was established [[2003]] by Jérôme de Witt, in continuation of the brand [[Cédric Johner]], which was already a very successful Swiss luxury watch manufacturer. De Witt (pronounced "de VIT") is a high-end maker of so-called "fusion" watches that combine high-tech materials and traditional watchmaking craft. The company makes many references to the ancestral link between their founder and Napoléon Bonaparte.

The company claims to be one of only four companies capable of producing both an [[in-house]] movement and dial. The De Witt Manufacture is located in [[Geneva]] and includes over 5,000 square meters and 60 employees.

The Academia collection is their showcase for new movement and dial concepts, such as the [[DeWitt Academia Tourbillon Force Constante|Force Constante]]. The Twenty-8-Eight collection is comprised of [[tourbillon]] watches. A typical design feature of many models is the gear-shaped [[bezel]].

One notable development by the brand is their [[peripheral rotor]] automatic winding system, first shown in [[DW 8014|Cal. DW 8014]] at [[Baselworld]] [[2010]].

DeWitt won the Technical Innovation and complication Watch Prize at the [[Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève]] for the Tourbillon Différentiel Academia in November, [[2005]].
