After the sensational success of its automatic freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton, Swiss watch brand RAYMOND WEIL presents its latest open-worked model with an ultra-modern appeal.
Although the latest freelancer skeleton watch (reference 2785-STC-65001) discloses many of its movement parts, the optimum readability has been ensured with the judicious application of colour. The Blue Skeleton Leather Strap freelancer will be available exclusively at Goldsmiths.
The new blue freelancer 2785 model benefits from the success of earlier open-worked models by RAYMOND WEIL.
The new RAYMOND WEIL freelancer 2785 shares some details in common with its forebears, but looks decidedly fresh. The barrel-shaped hour and minute hands are lined with a liberal application of white Super-LumiNova®, heightening readability.
The hours are mainly denoted with plump Arabic numerals, again enlivened with white Super-LumiNova®. A blue flange encircles the open-worked dial and is marked with a minute track, facilitating ease of read-off.
In the upper region of the dial, an open-worked barrel reveals the mainspring in various states of tension. Furthermore, inquisitive eyes are indulged with views of the keyless works, the gear train and motion works.
At the base of the dial, the balance wheel oscillates to and for the delectation of the wearer, while the pallet lever, positioned beyond, can be seen conversing with the escape wheel. Black hues are employed throughout, helping to accentuate the various disclosed components.
The specially designed skeleton movement (Calibre RW1212) was created in partnership with Sellita. The main plate and bridges are milled using a CNC machine, working to tolerances measured in Hundredths of millimetres. Various calculations are made using computer modelling in order to ensure the rigidity of the movement is optimised, thereby conferring precision and reliability.
This contemporary watch has a stainless steel case 42.5mm diameter. It is fitted on a neoteric calf leather strap paired with a stainless steel folding clasp with double push- security system.
The Raymond Weil Freelancer Blue Skeleton watch is available exclusively at Goldsmiths.co.uk. It approximate retail price is £2,595.

The newly launched RAYMOND WEIL freelancer GMT Worldtimer watch is capable of displaying the prevailing hour in 24 time zones at the same time.
Dedicated to globetrotters, this self-winding watch is 40.5mm in diameter and has a thickness of 9.7mm, despite the intricate nature of a mechanical GMT complication.
It dial features a rotating track, marked with one prominent city for each time zone. The city disc sits adjacent a 24-hour scale, indicating the relevant hour in the location shown and whether it is day/night. Barrel-shaped hour and minute hands indicate the ‘local time’.
To display the local time for the current location, the wearer simply rotates the crown at 4 o’clock, positioning the name of the local city adjacent to the prevailing hour. In addition to displaying the local time for the current location, the city disc simultaneously shows the relevant hour for each of the remaining 23 time zones.
In addition to the rotating city disc, a black GMT hand, featuring a prominent triangular red and white tip, indicates the prevailing hour at home. A highly legible lollipop hand completes the set of hands.
The RAYMOND WEIL freelancer GMT Worldtimer is available in two versions, one with a black dial and the other with a green dial. The black dial is paired with a stainless steel case coated with black DLC.
The green dial option features a stainless steel case, but in this instance it is matched with a bronze bezel and two bronze crowns. Bronze acquires an attractive patina with time. With its khaki tones and bronze accents, this military style model is an ideal timekeeper for adventurous types.
While the two watches exhibit different characters, they both incorporate gradient dial tones. The progression from dark to light not only heightens the visual allure of each dial option, but also serves as a means of indicating the transition from day to night. The hands and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova®, emitting either a blue or green glow.
The freelancer GMT Worldtimer is equipped with the new Calibre RW3230, a Swiss automatic movement with a power reserve of 50 hours. Measuring just 4.1mm in height, the modest thickness of the movement has led to the new model’s elegant, slender profile.
The Calibre RW3230 hosts a number traditional watchmaking decorations honoring RAYMOND WEIL’s well-regarded reputation. The lower part of the bridges is adorned with perlage, the barrel cover is snailed and the top part of the bridges and oscillating mass are embellished with Côtes de Genève motif. The movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back.
Each Freelancer GMT Worldtimer 2765 watch is fitted on a colour-coordinated calf leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and a folding clasp, featuring a double push-security system.
Available now at Raymond-weil.co.uk, the retail price of the Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT Worldtimer watch is £2,195.

Proudly demonstrating its ardent passion for music and virtuosity, RAYMOND WEIL presents a new maestro watch that unites harmony and timing. This stainless steel timepiece is available in a choice of three dial variants, each enriched with several subtle details.
Housed in a 39.5mm case, the new maestro 2238 timepieces combine various elements, delivering a horological ensemble par excellence.
The subtle use of lines, textures and tones distinguishes the dial of the maestro 2238 as special. The grey dial (reference 2238-STC-60001) is slightly smoky in appearance, transitioning from mid grey at the centre of the dial to deep grey near the perimeter.
The central part of the dial encompasses a bewitching swirled pattern, while the hour track is adorned with a snailed motif. A minute track, located near the perimeter of the dial, is marked with crisp strokes, aiding readability.
Lastly, a subtly ridged motif marks the edge of the dial, providing a seemly means of delineation. Slender silver-toned hour and minute hands are located centre stage, collaborating with matching indexes. An aperture adjacent the crown reveals the prevailing date, while a small seconds display, incorporating snailed detail, is positioned at 6 o’clock.
The Raymond Weil Maestro Small Seconds 2238 watch is available with two additional dial choices, green or blue, both also endowed with a subtle smoky appearance.
The sapphire crystal case-back affords sight of the Swiss self-winding movement, the RW4250. The Swiss made 31 jewel calibre offers a power reserve of 38 hours.
The Raymond Weil Maestro Small Seconds 2238 watch is presented on a colour-coordinating calf leather strap, incorporating an alligator motif, paired with a stainless-steel folding clasp with double push-security system. This model is available now at Raymondweil.co.uk, £1,150.

With the new freelancer diver Geneva Limited Edition, RAYMOND WEIL pays tribute to Geneva, the city where the brand was founded and continues to call home.
RAYMOND WEIL was established in 1976 in Geneva. Now, the Maison celebrates its close ties with the city by releasing a new version of its popular freelancer diver model. The RAYMOND WEIL freelancer diver Geneva Limited Edition pays tribute to Lake Geneva, widely known as ‘Lac Léman’, the most recognisable landmark of the city.
The new freelancer diver watch is equipped with the Calibre RW4200, a Swiss automatic movement with a power reserve of 38 hours. The model is water resistant to 310m, the depth of Lac Léman. Indeed, it is this latter figure which also inspired RAYMOND WEIL to limit production of this divers’ watch to just 310 pieces.
Endowed with a blue gradient dial, the freelancer diver Geneva Limited Edition pays tribute to Lac Léman. Mid-blue tones populate the upper reaches of the dial. This transition to dark blue hues adjacent to 6 o’clock evokes the deepest, darkest parts of the lake.
The barrel-shaped hour and minute hands converse with applied indexes. Both the hands and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova®, aiding readability in dim light conditions. During the day this luminescent material appears light grey, inspired by the mountains that look down on the lake, however in the dim light it radiates a blue emission.
Another reference to water and the lake is the drop-shaped date aperture at 6 o’clock. The design of each numeral on the date disc has been optimally shaped to improve legibility. This notion of legibility also extends to the central sweep seconds hand which features a ‘lollipop’, a useful feature when exploring the lake underwater.
The 42.5mm stainless steel case features a scratch-resistant, rotating black ceramic bezel. As diving convention dictates, the bezel is unidirectional and readability is assured courtesy of its light-grey count-up scale and the Super-LumiNova® marker at 12 o’clock.
The screwed-down steel case-back is engraved with a depiction of the ‘Jet d’Eau’, the famous Genevan landmark.
The Raymond Weil freelancer diver Geneva Limited Edition watch is presented on a 5-row stainless steel bracelet and features a folding clasp with a double push-security system.

Swiss watch brand RAYMOND WEIL presents a special edition of its best-selling freelancer chronograph inspired by the open road and a customised motorbike crafted by the artisans of Meister Engineering.
Meister Engineering is a Swiss custom motorcycle company based in Geneva. Their artisans and engineers modify standard motorbikes, offering distinctive blend of creativity, style and mechanical virtue.
Ultimately, the two-wheeled work of art inspired RAYMOND WEIL to create a bronze timepiece equipped with a chronograph, the freelancer 7780.
On the brand’s customised motorbike, the name RAYMOND WEIL adorns the fuel tank and is depicted in rose gold foil. This provided the inspiration for the texture of the 43.5mm bronze case and the two counters gracing the dial.
Likewise, the motorbike’s gradient effect paint influenced the watch’s black smoked dial. This latter detail confers an interesting display with light tones at the centre of the dial that assume a darker shade near the edge.
The tachymeter and pulsometer scales engraved on the motorcycle tank cap are replicated on the watch’s satin-finished ceramic bezel insert and flange, respectively. Even the freelancer’s rich brown calf leather strap has been inspired by the motorbike’s leather-clad seat.
The symmetrical bi-compax layout features a 30-minute chronograph counter and a small seconds display. The golden hour and minute hands are generously proportioned and, in conjunction with the applied indexes, prove highly legible.
The hour track is snailed, while the hands and indexes feature luminescent treatment, augmenting readability in restricted light. The colour of the central chronograph seconds hand, the hand on the 30-minute register and the numerals on the pulsometer scale are presented in orange shades.
A date display is positioned at 6 o’clock, once again contributing to the overall symmetry of the dial. The date disc is presented in black, matching the colour of the dial.
The tachymeter scale on the bezel provides the means to determine the speed over a known distance. The pulsometer scale on the bronze-toned flange allows the wearer to determine the heart rate of an individual.
The dial wonderfully plays with shades, depths and textures, contributing to the watch’s sophisticated appearance.
The case back is presented in stainless steel. The Calibre RW5030 is visible via the exhibition case back. This self-winding movement is fitted with a W-shaped skeleton oscillating weight, a reference to the founder’s surname. The watch has a power reserve of 56 hours.
The watch comes on a brown calf leather strap with contrasting stitching and paired with a bronze folding clasp equipped with a double push-security system.
The RAYMOND WEIL freelancer chronograph bi-compax is available in two variants: one in a bronze case, limited to just 300 pieces and with red and orange accents, and the other in a bronze and titanium case, with blue accents.

RAYMOND WEIL has launched a new model of its best selling freelancer Chronograph 7741. The latest entrant to this series comes with an enchanting green theme.
A Tri Compax chronograph, RW 7741 features an array of exquisite details and proves ideal for measuring elapsed periods of time. Offered in different dial variants, the model is available with a 5-rows bracelet or a colour-coordinated strap.
The new green dial model features a 43.5mm diameter stainless steel case. The combination of brushed and polished surfaces imbues the watch with a luxurious appearance. The hours and minutes are conveyed with bold hands and collaborate with legible indexes.
The hands and indexes with luminescent treatment improve readability in restricted light. The dial dispenses with a conventional date display, thereby affording more room for the remaining dial indications.
RAYMOND WEIL designers have upgraded each aspect of the dial composition. The company’s logo is now presented on an applied panel. To match with the dial color, the case is mounted with a green tachometer bezel-insert in ceramic.
The new freelancer Chronograph (reference 7741-SC7-52021) is equipped with the Calibre RW5030. Visible through the exhibition caseback, this automatic movement has a power reserve of 56 hours.
On the new freelancer Chronograph Green model, the 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph registers are equipped with highly legible white hands, while all three counters are framed with silver-toned circlets.
The hour track is snailed, adding a delightful texture to the display and the dial is slightly smoked, contributing to the model’s handsome appearance.
Harmonizing with the color theme, this new freelancer Chronograph comes with a green calf leather strap.

RAYMOND WEIL presents a luxurious variation of its emblematic noemia watch.
Named after the Maison’s founder granddaughter, the noemia collection celebrates the RAYMOND WEIL family by creating exclusively feminine pieces.
The NOEMIA watch is now available in a steel version with an accented jewellery character. Made with the Swiss precision for which the company is renowned, it is adorned with 47 diamonds and its delicate curves form a voluptuous caress of the wrist.
With its two glittering cascades of 18 diamonds set asymmetrically on the 32 mm case, the jewelled decoration has moved out of its usual context. The dial captures the eye with its depth giving an unprecedented effect of grandeur.
The sober combination of nature and gradation results from the precious guilloché work creating an incomparable effect of light, texture, brilliance and elegance. The dial is adorned with 11 diamond indices and a Roman XII, as a reference to the collection’s previous models.
The dazzling case, the pure dial and the delight of the polished and satin-finished steel bracelet are hallmarks of an authentic piece of jewellery. The model is available in two dial variations: green and grey.

Swiss watch brand RAYMOND WEIL reveals its fourth maestro The Beatles timepiece, the epilogue of its exceptional partnership with the most iconic of rock bands worldwide. The “Let It Be” edition is limited to 3,000 pieces; a vibrant tribute to the Maison’s musical roots and a symbol of its unwavering horological virtuosity.
Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, the “Let It Be” maestro The Beatles limited edition embodies RAYMOND WEIL’s desire to return to its musical roots, inspired by the legendary band’s last album in 1970.
For the first time, the maestro limited edition is adorned with a skeleton movement, revealed by a subtle, UK-figurative cut-out. In keeping with the previous “Sergeant Pepper’s” maestro The Beatles, the light brown nubuck-effect strap boasts FSC-certified vegan material.

The overall image of the watch plays on the contrast between the anthracite dial and the rose gold plated hands and baton indices, in particular revealed at 4 o’clock. The four-baton index representing the four Beatles members, with the watch hands centred on the city of Liverpool as a reminder of where this iconic story began.
An alliance of innovation, watchmaking expertise and strong musical commitment, the “Let It Be” maestro The Beatles model carries a timeless message of optimism and recalls the spirit of an entire era reviving images of an impromptu concert on the rooftop at Apple Studios. This was to be their last ever live performance.

RAYMOND WEIL expands its popular TOCCATA collection by adding brand new rectangular watches inspired from the designs of art deco era of the 1920s and 1930s.
The sapphire crystal window is framed by a beveled rectangular case. The tiered design gives this watch an illusion of depth without the thickness. The watch is completed with the brand logo’s signature upon the crown. Unlike the classic round ladies’ toccata, this watch manages to nail a refined, retro aesthetic all the while remaining true to the Swiss craftsmanship and inspiration behind the collection.
The design is available in five variations that alternate either in two-tone, gold-tone and stainless steel. The face comes in combinations of black roman numerals on a crisp white dial or alternating gold and diamond indexes on a mother-of-pearl face.
The new quartz model adopts a sophisticated art deco appeal with an elongated rectangular face and ultra-slim 5.7 mm case. This is the RAYMOND WEIL’s shallowest case design to date which gives a very sleek profile to this watch.
Retail price is from £695 to £995. The watches are now available for purchase at https://raymond-weil.co.uk/

RAYMOND WEIL has announced the re-launch of the iconic Don Giovanni Così Grande. A decade since its initial release and as a celebration of the Swiss Watchmaking Maison’s historic and musical roots, just 20 units of the Don Giovanni Così Grande will be available worldwide, exclusively online at the Raymond Weil e-boutique.
As a reminder to the brands’ contribution to music worldwide, RAYMOND WEIL is donating 10% of sale proceeds to Nordoff Robbins, the UK’s largest independent music therapy charity.
The robust rectangular layout measures a generous 50 x 38 mm in case size, with two offset dials. The top reading minutes with a unique visual perspective drawing your eye to an hour window located at the top of the face. The bottom dial contains the running seconds indication.
The figure eight dial layout is complimented by the organic curves of the stainless steel case. The hour display is known as a “digital jumping hour”. This means that the hour hand is replaced by a large window, located at 12 o’clock, for an extraordinary reading of time. This particularity was achieved thanks to a mechanical movement with automatic winding, the caliber RW 1400, equipped with a disc that displays the hours. At each full hour, they instantly “jumps” to the following hour, which appears in the window.
Leather strap and stainless steel bracelet versions are available, both at £3,995 from raymond-weil.co.uk – launching 27th April 2020.
Nordoff Robbins has been the Official Charity Partner of RAYMOND WEIL UK for many years, helping the brand to support the musical community and promote communication through music. At Nordoff Robbins, the expert music therapists help children with autism to speak for the first time, people with dementia reconnect with family members and those living with mental health problems moments of genuine calm and peace.
RAYMOND WEIL has created a stunning new addition to the flagship freelancer Calibre RW1212 range; this time, in a striking green. This deep coloured freelancer Calibre RW1212 is brand new to the market for Spring 2020.
In 2017, RAYMOND WEIL meticulously developed an exclusive in-house movement produced by the manufacturer Sellita. Paying tribute to the brand’s Swiss origins, RAYMOND WEIL named this movement Calibre RW1212. It is a nod to the postal code of the company’s global headquarters, Grand-Lancy. The movement is a testament to over 40 years of the finest Swiss watch-making traditions and expertise. Therefore, it was only fitting that this automatic movement be housed in its bestselling freelancer.
Now, RAYMOND WEIL announces the 2780-STC-52001 with bold green accents. A model that has been carefully curated with 2020’s colour palette in mind, this luxury Swiss watch is a must-have for any watch collector.
This latest addition to the freelancer collection features a 42 mm stainless steel dial framed by a green satin chapter ring with silver indices, Clous de Paris in the centre and a seconds train on the outside.

Swiss watchmaker RAYMOND WEIL pays tribute to legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix with its newest Limited Edition freelancer chronograph, inspired by the musician’s timeless Woodstock performance.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the famous festival, one of the most pivotal live music events in history, which saw Hendrix perform his renowned rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
RAYMOND WEIL chose its flagship freelancer collection to capture Jimi Hendrix’s free-spirited attitude and classic trademarks. His famous 1968 white Fender Stratocaster inspired many of the dial’s details, including the ten dotted index markers that mimic the frets on his guitar neck and circular border representing the six guitar strings.
Hendrix was known for his signature left-handed guitar technique, visible in the Fender guitar counter weight design of the second hand. He wore an unforgettable cyan blue ensemble with an Aztec guitar strap on the Woodstock stage; the color is prominently accented on the second and sub-dial hands while the embossed design on the watch face calls attention to the Aztec pattern.
Crafted in Geneva by RAYMOND WEIL’s in-house watchmakers, the timepiece maintains the freelancer collection’s case design in a matte finish, original chronograph push buttons and classic brown leather strap.
The tachymeter ring is detailed with the singer’s famous quote, “Music is my Religion” alongside his name, and the case back is finished with the Authentic Hendrix logo, giving his estate’s seal of approval.
The timepiece is limited to just 500 units worldwide; each with its own numbered case back and certificate of authenticity signed by Jimi’s sister, Janie Hendrix.
Each timepiece is packaged handsomely in a blue and white commemorative box, paying homage to Woodstock. It is completed with a funky tie-dye interior to proudly display your timepiece.

About Jimi Hendrix
Recognized the world over as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix’s innovative electric guitar style influenced a multitude of modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Joe Satriani to Jonny Lang. Influenced by such artists as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson, Hendrix, without reading music, taught himself to play first using a $5 second-hand acoustic guitar. Later, when his father presented him with his first electric guitar, a Supro Ozark 1560S, he forever changed the musical landscape.
Hendrix, who generated an amazing collection of songs over the course of his short career, forged a new sound that embraced the genres of blues, ballads, rock, R&B and jazz which continues to make Hendrix one of the most popular figures in the history of rock music. Are You Experienced, a psychedelic musical compilation released in 1967 by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding), featuring anthems of a generation – “Hey Joe,”“Purple Haze,” “The Wind Cries Mary,” “Foxey Lady,” “Fire,” and “Are You Experienced?” – has remained one of the most popular rock albums of all time.
Hendrix also made history in June 1967, with the incendiary performance of “Wild Thing” at the Monterey International Pop Festival and, in 1968, with the release of Axis: Bold as Love, both of which contributed to The Jimi Hendrix Experience ranking as one of most popular and highest grossing touring acts in the world.
In August 1969, Hendrix performed the iconic renegade version of “Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock, forever defining the spirit of that generation. That New Year’s Eve, with bassist Billy Cox and Electric Flag Drummer Buddy Miles, Hendrix would perform and record a series of four performances later released on the quintessential Band of Gypsys album in mid-1970 (and the expanded Hendrix: Live at The Fillmore East in 1999).
Back in the studio in 1970, Hendrix recorded several tracks for another two album set, tentatively titled First Rays of The New Rising Sun. With Hendrix’s tragic and untimely death on September 18, 1970, the album was finally released in 1997 through the support of his family and original studio engineer Eddie Kramer.

The current date is cleanly revealed through the aperture located at 3 o’clock while the case-back is fitted with a pane of sapphire crystal, disclosing the mechanical movement.
The maestro Moon Phase is fitted with a matching blue genuine leather strap or steel mesh-type bracelet, both paired with a stainless steel folding clasp and a double push-security system. This new model is offered in five variations all symbolizing the Brand’s deep attachment to its watch-making roots.

Limited to 3,000 numbered pieces, freelancer AC/DC Limited Edition houses an in-house, self-winding movement, the Calibre RW1212 that offers a stage opening on the lower part of the dial allowing onlookers to view the rocking “Alternating Current/Direct Current”1 balance.

After launching its first in-house movement in collaboration with Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita in 2017, RAYMOND WEIL unveils the new and exclusive CALIBRE RW1212 Skeleton as a sign of its desire to keep pushing boundaries.
RAYMOND WEIL introduces this bold and distinctive model featuring an open-worked dial, revealing most of the sophisticated movement with an intricate perlage finish. The distinctive characteristic remains the 6 o’clock front dial positioning of its visible balance wheel. The dial, however, has been opened, exposing the manufacturing beauty and highlighting the richness of watchmaking expertise, whilst infusing it with its distinctive free-spirited attitude. The freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton is a two hand model providing an understated display of the hours and minutes.
While working on the initial design of the Calibre RW1212, the R&D team at RAYMOND WEIL redesigned and pared down all the elements closely relating to the exquisite mechanism so as to endow this exclusive in-house movement with even more depth and character.
Framed by a 42mm steel case, the mechanical self-winding Calibre RW1212 beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a 38-hour power reserve. Its RAYMOND WEIL engraved oscillating weight has been skeletonized to increase the transparency of the timepiece.
The new Calibre RW1212 is presented in three different executions, offering three very different personalities for this pioneering flagship product in the freelancer family. The full black PVD plated version with rose gold indexes and hands offers modernity and urban style, while the brown leather strap brings attitude and elegance to the rose gold and stainless steel two-tone model. Finally, the total stainless steel look featuring blue indexes and hands offers a more cosmopolitan feel.

With a new limited edition watch collection from their Music Icons Series, Luxury Swiss watchmaker RAYMOND WEIL announces a newest music collaboration which pays tribute to the legendary British manufacturer – Marshall Amplification. The unique timepiece incorporates subtle design cues, influenced by Marshall’s iconic product design and intricate detailing. Measuring 43mm in diameter, the new Marshall Limited Edition is generously proportioned, revealing a bold, masculine aesthetic, whilst maintaining the timeless appeal of its product designs.
The case is presented in black PVD and the dial surface replicates the appearance of an amplifier’s external grille.

The indexes and hands are lined with SuperLuminova®, delivering optimal readability.
The chronograph’s gold colored panda sub-dials, inspired by the amps sound buttons, measure elapsed time periods, while the black sub-dial displays the running seconds. The timepiece is completed with a date display positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. The watch is presented on a black leather strap, paired with a black PVD folding clasp.
Distinguishing this watch as a limited edition, the numbered case-back is engraved with the iconic Marshall logo and is presented with a certificate of authenticity.
