For more than
25 years, RAYMOND WEIL has created masterpieces of time,
art and elegance which express the creative desires of our
times. RAYMOND WEIL gathers inspiration from works of art
and music, cleverly embodying these premises with a passion
enviable amongst some of the best-known Swiss watchmakers.
Since its founding
by Raymond Weil in 1976, this Geneva-based watch company
has been an enigmatic leader due to the creation, design
and color-intensive elements in its designs. Using all that
modern technology has to offer, RAYMOND WEIL has never settled
for anything less than impeccable product quality.
Most of the
RAYMOND WEIL collections draw their inspiration from major
musical works such as Parsifalthe brands signature
collectionDon Giovanni and Othello. Each of these
collections reflects RAYMOND WEILs love for classical
music, the opera and the arts.
In 1982, the
talented and passionate Raymond Weil welcomed Olivier Bernheim
into the family business. Instrumental in opening new markets
and making structural and transitional changes within the
company, Bernheim is now president and CEO of the company.
Since its inception, RAYMOND WEIL has produced elegant and
cutting-edge timepieces. In 1983, RAYMOND WEIL launched
the incredibly successful, classically elegant Amadeus collection,
dedicated to Mozart. Several years later, the bold Othello
was introduced and in 1988, the stunning color-stained-crystal
Traviata watch made its debut. Indeed, the Traviata timepieces
were so sophisticated and striking in their use of color
and style that RAYMOND WEIL was soon recognized as a leader
in technical and aesthetic design.
RAYMOND WEIL
unveiled the Parsifal collection of steel and 18-karat gold
watches in 1991. This most celebrated collection continues
to make its mark as a true virtuoso. Valiant, powerful and
refined, the Parsifal is a timepiece of symmetry and harmony.
Throughout
the late 1980s and into the 1990s, RAYMOND WEIL grew to
be one of Switzerlands most important watch influences.
Indeed, the vision of RAYMOND WEIL can be summed up in just
a few words: creation, innovation and evolutioneach
of which is a permanent element in the brands professional
code of ethics.
Adhering to
a constant quest for perfection, RAYMOND WEIL continually
unveils impeccable works of craftsmanship and beauty. Insistent
that technical prowess remains supreme, RAYMOND WEIL has
harmoniously blended tradition and modernity, technology
and art into each timepiece.
One such exceptional
collection is the Don Giovanni series. Recently, RAYMOND
WEIL launched an unusual version of the Don Giovanni chronograph
watch and the new creation dominates the collection with
its extraordinary dimension and splendid execution.
The daring Don Giovanni Cosi Grande watch is the result
of combined research into new ideas and solutions in watchmaking.
A phenomenal creation of complexity in design and technical
aesthetics, the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande is a mechanical
chronograph with automatic winding. Hand-assembled by RAYMOND
WEILs finest watchmakers, the chronograph includes
the traditional functions of start, stop, restart, and return
to zero, and offers a 30-minutes counter and a 12-hours
counters.
The Don Giovanni
Cosi Grande watch is crafted in steel and features a curved
rectangular case of extreme dimensions. It is 50mm long
by 37.6mm across and is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal
with antireflection treatment. Water resistant to 30 meters,
the watch features a transparent caseback to view the mechanism.
In 2001, RAYMOND
WEIL gave the Othello collectionfirst unveiled to
the world in 1986a stunning relaunch. The rebirth
of Othello captures the very essence of the innovative spirit
of the brand. With a calm and discreet design that emphasizes
strength of character and uncompromising beauty, Othello
is equally daring and mysterious.
The round,
thin case features a slightly curved sapphire crystal that
charms and fascinates. The depth of the dark blue dial bordered
by a midnight-blue bezel is tirelessly captivating, and
the two thin steel bars that stretch from top to bottom
across the sapphire crystal add unparalleled depth and dimension.
Sophisticated
and intriguing, the new Othello collection is a profound
expression of individuality. In addition to the enticing
midnight-blue Othello, RAYMOND WEIL has also unveiled two
splendid new versions of the Othello in 18-karat gold. Called
the Othello OR collection, the sleek watches are crafted
in either yellow or rose gold and in typical Othello style
feature two vertical bars of gold sliced across the curved
crystal of the watcha strikingly bold and innovative
design.

OR Jaune line is crafted in 18-karat yellow gold with a
cognac dial. The bars are set with 46 diamonds for scintillating
effect. The Othello OR Rose collection is crafted in 18-karat
rose gold with a dial influenced by burgundy reflections.

design spirit of the brand. Top
