Raymond Weil: Focused on exclusive news for free-spirited men

Unique, sophisticated and technically perfect - that's what a Raymond Weil watch is. The story of this premium Swiss brand began in 1976, in the midst of a watch industry crisis.

Despite the odds, Mr Raymond Weil decided to set up his own watch company. His courage paid off - his refined watches were soon appreciated by watch enthusiasts around the world and in just a few years he built a world-renowned brand that today represents the top of the luxury men's watch segment.

Musical heritage in every detail

The production of the family-owned watchmaker Raymond Weil has always been strongly influenced and inspired by the world of classical music, which is strongly reflected in the names of the individual collections. This deep connection to the art of music has shaped the brand's DNA from the very beginning, making it unique in the field of luxury watchmaking.

The musical collections that defined an era

The Amadeus collection from 1983, named after W. A. It was launched in conjunction with Miloš Forman's famous film, underlining the cultural dimension of the brand. This synergy between high-end watchmaking and high art defined the direction in which the Raymond Weil brand continues to move today.

Other 'musical' collections inspired by opera and classical music soon followed:

• Fidelio: a tribute to Beethoven's only opus
• Don Giovanni: inspired by Mozart's famous opera
• La Traviata: reflecting the elegance of Verdi's masterpiece
• Jasmine: delicacy and grace translated into watchmaking
• Maestro: the epitome of conducting precision and leadership
• Nabucco: power and majesty in every detail
• Noemia: elegance in feminine terms
• Parsifal: inspired by Wagner's work
• Shine: radiant elegance for discerning customers
• Tango: rhythm and passion translated into watchmaking design
• Saxo: the epitome of jazz freedom in the world of luxury watches

Iconic models for true connoisseurs

But the brand's personality was shaped by even more iconic collections that have gone down in watchmaking history:

• Toccata: minimalist elegance for the discerning gentleman
• Fantasia: a feminine collection combining technical excellence with refined design
• Othello: an emblematic blend of avant-garde technology and refined design in an ultra-thin watch, created in 1986 to celebrate the brand's tenth anniversary in the watch industry

Freelancer: for men who make their own rules

Raymond Weil pays tribute not only to music, but also to the freelance and independence of the modern man. These values have permeated the Freelancer range since 2007, which appeals to self-confident men who don't let life dictate the pace of their lives and go their own way.

This iconic collection has recently been enriched with two significant new additions that push the boundaries of elegance and technical excellence in the men's luxury watch segment.

Freelancer Automatic Chronograph Bi-compax Bronze

The new Freelancer Automatic Chronograph Bi-compax Bronze represents a unique fusion of watchmaking artistry and motoring passion. This exceptional chronograph watch is based on the design of an exclusive motorcycle made exclusively for the Raymond Weil brand by the renowned craftsmen at Meister Engineering.

Sophisticated case

The bronze case of this men's luxury watch measures 43.5 mm, and its elegant appearance will be enhanced over time by the emerging patina that will give each piece a unique character. Over time, each watch will acquire a completely unique look that reflects the lifestyle of its owner - no two pieces will be identical after years of wear.

Technical excellence

At the heart of the watch is a black smoke dial that features:

• 30-minute chronograph for precise measurement of short periods of time
• a small seconds sub-dial for continuous time tracking
• heart rate monitor for sports use
• speedometer for measuring speed

The vintage look of the watch deliberately evokes the impression of a sophisticated round dashboard, beckoning to speed and freedom of movement. The tachometer and heart rate monitor graduations are placed on the watch's satin ceramic insert and flange, emphasising the sporty character of the model.

The generous golden hour and minute hands, in conjunction with the luminescent-coated indices used, are highly legible in all lighting conditions. Similarly, the black-coloured date display at 6 o'clock ensures maximum functionality and practicality.

Exclusive edition for collectors

This elegant watch is available in two versions:

1. Limited edition with orange and red accents: limited to just 300 pieces worldwide, making it a sought-after collector's piece.
2. The standard version with blue accents: will delight lovers of a more classic colour scheme.

High-end movement for maximum reliability

The back of the watch is made of stainless steel, and through the sapphire crystal you can see the Calibre RW5030 movement - a sophisticated automatic movement that can run autonomously for an impressive 56 hours. This impressive power reserve ensures that the watch remains accurate even on a weekend when you're not wearing it.

Comfort first

The watch comes on a brown leather strap with contrast stitching and a bronze fold-over clasp equipped with a double push-security system for maximum comfort and security. For current availability, visit the Raymond Weil Freelancer Bi-Compax 7780-TB3-20423.

RAYMOND WEIL Freelancer 7741

The second novelty, the RAYMOND WEIL Freelancer 7741 tri-compax chronograph, is brimming with elegance and technical sophistication. This chronograph watch strikes the perfect balance between sportiness and formal elegance.

Premium materials for the discerning gentleman

The 43.5 mm stainless steel case combines brushed and polished parts, giving the watch an extremely luxurious look worthy of the highest levels of watchmaking. The bezel is also equipped with a scratch-resistant ceramic insert and a tachymetric scale for measuring speed.

First-class legibility in all conditions

The hands and indices are lined with a premium luminescent finish that ensures perfect legibility even in conditions of reduced visibility. This practical feature pushes the functionality of the model and makes it the ideal companion for active men.

The technical heart of the watch

At the heart of the new Freelancer 7741 chronograph is the high-end Caliber RW5030. This sophisticated automatic movement, visible thanks to the transparent bottom of the case, offers:

• extraordinary precision
• reliable operation
• 56-hour power reserve for maximum comfort
• chronograph function for precise measurement of short periods of time

Variability

The model is offered in different dial variations, allowing each man to choose the design that best suits his personal style and preferences. It is available with:

• an elegant five-row bracelet for more formal occasions
• colour-coordinated strap for a sportier look

Swiss precision in every detail

All Raymond Weil watches are united by the relentless pursuit of perfection and precision typical of Swiss watchmaking. Each model is assembled by hand by experienced watchmakers with attention to every detail, guaranteeing exceptional quality and reliability.

An investment that pays off

With the limited availability of some models and the brand's growing reputation, these watches may even increase in value over time, making them not only an elegant accessory but also a sound investment.

While some luxury watch brands have fallen victim to their own success, and their models can be found on every corner, Raymond Weil retains a hallmark of exclusivity and originality. This elegant watch is for the connoisseur who values the unusual and refuses to blend in with the crowd.

Do not hesitate to see the watch in person at the BENY boutiques in the centre of Prague.
