Swiss watch brand RAYMOND WEIL has launched the new freelancer ladies 2490 and men 2790 models. Offering a new interpretation of the form watch, these timepieces fuse a cushion-shaped design with signature brand details that radiate contemporary sophistication.
For new the freelancer ladies 2490 and men 2790 automatic timepieces, the independent brand has chosen a square, cushion-shaped housing. The edges of the case softly arc, imbuing the initially modern design with a gentle aesthetic.
The various facets, lines and curves play with light, accentuating the beauty of the stainless-steel housing. Both models are offered with a choice of gradient dials and feature an automatic Swiss-made movement, with a 38 hours power reserve, ideally suited to daily wear.
With its stainless-steel case of 34.5 mm, the freelancer ladies automatic 2490 features luminescent hour and minute hands with matching indexes, a fine centre seconds hand and a date indication at 3 o’clock.
The dial’s intriguing gradient effect draws the eye towards the center, where a captivating W-shaped motif, as a nod to the RAYMOND WEIL brand, adds depth and engages with light, creating subtle shades that mesmerize the wearer. A new leather strap adorned with an eye-catching W-shaped stitched pattern, further elevates the watch’s preciousness and adds a touch of exclusivity.
Alternatively, the model is available with a 5-rows stainless steel bracelet and can be specified with a diamond set bezel, featuring 60 sparkling laboratory grown diamonds, striking a balance between elegance and durability.
Housed in a larger 40 mm square case, the freelancer 2790 for men allows the central W-shaped motif to step aside, letting the gradient dial and the in-house Calibre RW1212 take center stage.
The center seconds hand and date indication make way for a mesmerizing mechanical dance as the tried and tested in-house automatic Calibre RW1212 movement reveals itself through an open worked bridge at 6 o’clock.
A glimpse of the movement and the W-shaped oscillating weight can be admired through the exhibition caseback.
