Raymond Weil is a company that keeps the management of the business in the family, generation after generation, the running of the company is passed down. Perhaps this is the reason why the subtle sophistication of the very first watch they produced is still present today in the latest collection: the Raymond Weil Freelancer.
The family friendly freelancer
The small lines that serve as indexes are an attractive feature; considering we all know how the numbers of a clock face work, the lines are just another opportunity for Raymond Weil to compose a watch dial that is very aesthetically pleasing. The dial and the hands are slim and elegant in a way that entirely separates this collection from the men’s watches of the modern day that are macho, big and bulky.
The ultra thin timepiece Othello was the model that shot Raymond Weil into the public eye, also, it was what set it up as a company that believes in the stylistic merit of minimalism and that less could definitely be more. Those core values are still very visible in the new collections.
In 2007 the company was modernised and redesigned. They changed their logo, declared dark brown to be their official colour and introduced a new motto: “independence is a state of mindâ€. The Raymond Weil Freelancer collection rode in on the wave of this rejuvenation of the company. In many ways this watch has a lot in common with the first Raymond Weil watch made because it marks the start of a new era for the company and a new chapter in their long history. So take the chance to be a crucial part of the new breed of watches from Raymond Weil as they look to be going from strength to strength as they enter the 21st century.
