The launch of DeWitt’s new Lady Pressy collection marks a clear development for the Geneva-based Manufacture, which this year will release several jewellery watch models aimed at women.
Resolutely anchored in the 21st century, while maintaining a sense of imperial nobility, the Lady Pressy collection makes its presence felt thanks to its simplicity.
Its 18-carat rose gold case, measuring 36 mm in diameter, stands out with its two geometric ornaments, shaped like a stylised crown, at 6 and 12 o’clock.
The watch’s undeniable subtleness is a result of its alternating lines: a more traditional round case encircled by a row of round diamonds, as well as daring strap attachments, which give the model its unique character. The geometric lines, which also feature in the design of its understated and refined bracelet, make this a watch that captures the spirit of the times. The collection is available in several versions: with a gold bracelet, red alligator or black alligator strap and a white, blue or green lacquered mother-of-pearl dial enhanced by appliqué Roman numerals.
As for every DeWitt creation, the dials have been hand-assembled with extreme care by the Manufacture’s master dial-makers in Meyrin, Geneva.
The Lady Pressy watch houses a self-winding calibre with a power reserve of 42 hours, indicating the hours and the minutes. Its open-worked hands in the form of double-edged swords are also made from 18-carat rose gold. The version with a gold bracelet is adorned by a total of 135 round diamonds (for approx. 2.2 carats).
