The Alma watch features a harmonious oval case, a slightly cambered profile so as to fit perfectly the shape of the wrist, and of course the sculpted forms of the famous DeWitt stylised imperial columns. The collection comes in seven versions, clad in red gold, white gold and diamonds and fitted with elegant dials.

The Alma watch houses an automatic calibre with a central seconds hand and a 42- hour power reserve. Its three hands in 18-carat gold, sword-shaped and with a skeleton format in the case of the hour and minute hands and slender for the seconds hand, rhythmically mark out the passing of time in the centre of a dial that reveals its perspectives through a play of light and in the forms of its relief.

The two new versions of the Alma Collection are adorned with white gold, diamonds and white mother-of-pearl. A fine rim of the dial set with round diamonds underlines the originality and subtlety of the dials: a stylised "Art Deco" pattern enhanced by four Arabic numerals and four opposing black Roman numerals showcases the former, and a "Horseshoe" motif set with diamonds and adorned with a rounded Arabic numeral at 6 o'clock illustrates the latter.

The anti-reflective glass, cambered from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock and from 6 to 12, gives a generously-curved silhouette to this watch, with its profile immediately recognisable thanks to its imperial columns and its alternately polished and delicately sanded 18-carat gold surfaces.

Its crown and ardillon buckle in polished gold, both engraved with the brand's distinctive "W" signature, give an additional elegant touch of detail to the watch's finishes.

Firmly in the 21st century but also marked with imperial dignity, the Alma Collection bears witness to the care and attention bestowed by the Manufacture DeWitt on every detail, thus turning each watchmaking creation into a truly exceptional timepiece.
