Raymond Weil Freelancer Calibre RW1212
Raymond Weil are inviting you to open your mind to the fascinating world of horology as they introduce the new Freelancer Calibre RW1212 with a in-house designed movement. The stunning new collection of watches features a galvanic dial available in either black or silver. You eyes are immediately drawn to the skeleton view balance wheel at the 6 o’clock position which gives you a peak at the ruby in the middle, almost representing the beating heart of this stunning timepiece. The watches markers match the case colour and is available in either rose gold, yellow gold or sophisticated silver. The polished case protects and houses the movement like a skeleton keeping it secure and safe from the dangers of the outside world. To improve visibility in low lighting conditions each hour marker, hour hand and minute hand are all coated in a white luminescent treatment.
“Calibre RW1212 is a tribute to the present and a symbol of the future. Its name picks up the digits of our address here in Switzerland: 1212, standing for the Geneva suburb Grand-Lancy. It symbolizes the path we have traveled to date and the free-spirited approach we bring to watchmaking. It is our first in-house movement, born from our partnership with the Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita”, said Elie Bernheim, CEO
VIRTUOSIC PRECISION
The beautiful Freelancer Calibre RW1212 is designed in-house at Raymond Weil in Geneva and the name 1212 comes from the postcode of their head office there. The movement reinforces the technical and professional competence of the world renowned brand. The movement is manufactured through an exclusive partnership with movement manufacturer, Sellita who have produced movements since 1950. The watch itself is made from solid stainless steel so that it is resistant to rust and so is the 5-row bracelet which also features a few links of the colours of the case.
The case-back has been fitted with a sapphire crystal and allows you a unique view of the self-winding movement within. This timepiece blends a fascinating dial and ergonomic case design with the convenience of an automatic movement.
