Introduction
Founded in 2003 by Jérôme de Witt, a direct descendant of the French Emperor Napoleon himself, DeWitt was created as a watchmaker that would fuse modern horological craftsmanship with watchmaking traditions in order to create a new style of timepiece. As a result, DeWitt’s offerings are famed for their incredibly unique designs and blend of interesting materials, aesthetics, and complications. Featuring several of those tenets is this DeWitt Furtive that we have here. Featuring a bright yellow dial with a blend of Roman and Arabic numerals and a column-like structure populating its southern hemisphere, this example immediately pops as a rather interesting timepiece that is unlike the majority of watches on the market. Featuring a rather unusual case construction, this example also boasts several protrusions around its diameter, alongside the uniquely shaped lugs which combine to further compound upon its unique design. As a result, this timepiece successfully executes on DeWitt’s goal of creating aesthetically noteworthy timepieces that fit in with modern tastes just as much as they rely on traditional crafts.

THE DIAL
Featuring a bright yellow dial, this example boasts a subtle sunburst pattern alongside sharp skeletonized hands, a blend of Arabic and Roman applied numerals, and several protruding metal columns at 6 o'clock to create a dial that is unapologetically unique, much like the majority of DeWitt's timepieces.

THE CONSTRUCTION
Featuring an interesting case design, the Furtive's construction is unique thanks to its distinctively angular lugs and the metal bands that span its midcase and seemingly bind its case together.
