Dewitt Incognito 2008 is a unique watchmaking concept developed with contributing of DeWitt and Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Watch received strong bidding from the beginning (100,000 Euros) and was sold for 400,000 Euro or $630,000. From technical point of view the watch is just amazing justifying the price. It comes with a flying tourbillon regulator, which keeps the watch accurate. There are also five barrels and has a power reserve that lasts up to three weeks. The structure of the watch is made from a lithium-aluminium alloy, and is framed by a spectacular exterior crafted from equally unique materials introducing the completely innovative design of the model.

As promised, we are now presenting you with a collection of timepieces that rise above what you see in your daily lives.  In fact, we’d be surprised if you had ever seen or even heard of the watches in the video below, but after seeing them, we can assure you you’ll have some new grail pieces.

Jean Dunand is a six year old company that produces unique pieces at the highest levels of haute horlogerie.  We don’t mean unique in the superlative sense, we mean it in the literal sense.  In fact, not one timepiece Jean Dunand produces is like any other. It was founded by horological entrepreneur Thierry Oulevay and Master watchmaker Christophe Claret (who you may remember is 1/3 of the genius behind The Maitres du Temps Chapter One), and they have been producing world-firsts ever since.

The first is the Tourbillon Orbital, which features an extraordinary one-minute flying tourbillon that orbits the dial once per hour on a patented revolving movement, a novel power reserve indicator in the case band and moon phase on the case back.  How impressive of a timepiece is this?

Well, it took Christophe Claret two years to solve the challenge of winding and setting a constantly rotating movement and mainspring barrel.  Eventually, he decided to do it via an innovative folding key set vertically into the movement’s central axis that both winds the mainspring and sets the time.  Think about that.
