To have a chance of successfully rising to this challenge, newcomers must do everything in their power to unite a broad range of skills, to distinguish themselves from the competition through the innovation and the quality of their products, and to build a powerful identity that then needs to be effectively communicated.

The Academia Seconde chronograph, which is the object of this test, clearly carries the DeWitt hallmark through its powerful character which it mainly owes to the daring originality of its case.
