Raymond Weil is a high-end watchmaker established in 1976 in Geneva, still family-operated to this day, which makes it one of the few independent Swiss luxury watch brands. One of its more recent releases is a three-piece limited edition series based on the acclaimed Freelancer and Maestro models.
The first two timepieces comprising this musically-themed collection are special versions of the Freelancer, called the Cello Music Special Edition Watch and the Electro Music Special Edition Watch. The first of these, created together with popular Croatian duo 2Cellos, comes with a 45mm case and features a mechanical movement with chronograph, day and date complications, and a 46-hour power reserve. Eye-catching design elements include the four cello strings wrapped around the dial, as well as the red bow-shaped chronograph hand.
The second Freelancer watch was created with British artist Labrinth and comes with a 42mm stainless steel case, which has a RW4200 automatic mechanism with a 38-hour power reserve beating inside of it. Its crystal caseback is decorated with Labrinth’s signature, while the face is embellished with a music equalizer motif.
Finally, there’s the smaller Maestro Guitar Music Special Edition Watch, with its 39.5 mm stainless steel case which houses a custom RW4200 mechanical automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. This piece was created with acclaimed classical guitarist Miloš Karadaglic and has a guitar-style cut-through that reveals the inner workings as well as a rose gold plated plectrum at 6 o’clock.
Two of each of the three models which make up the Music Special Edition collection will be auctioned to raise money for the respective artists` charities of choice.
