Raymond Weil watch history For more than 25 years, Raymond Weil has created masterpieces of time, art and elegance. Getting inspiration from works of art and music, the brand has a passion enviable amongst some of the best-known Swiss watchmakers.

Founded in 1976, the Geneva-based watch company has been at the forefront of creation, design and colour-intensive watch ranges. Using all that modern technology has to offer, its timepieces possess impeccable product quality.

Most of the Weil watches collections draw their inspiration from major musical works such as Parsifal (the brand's signature collection), Don Giovanni and Othello. Each of these ranges reflects a love for classical music, the opera and the arts.

In 1982, Olivier Bernheim joined 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, the company launched the incredibly successful, classically elegant Amadeus collection, dedicated to Mozart. Several years later, the bold Othello was introduced and in 1988, the stunning colour-stained-crystal Traviata watch made its debut.

Traviata timepieces were so sophisticated and striking in their use of colour and style that the watchmaker was soon recognized as a leader in technical and aesthetic design. The Parsifal collection of steel and 18-karat gold watches was unveiled in 1991. This most celebrated collection continues to make its mark as a timepiece of symmetry and harmony.

The Don Giovanni series is a cornerstone of research into new ideas and solutions in watchmaking. The daring Don Giovanni Cosi Grande watch is a mechanical chronograph with automatic winding. Hand-assembled by Raymond Weil's finest watchmakers, the chronograph includes the traditional functions of start, stop, restart, and return to zero, and offers a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter.

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.

Throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Raymond Weil grew to be one of Switzerland's most important watch influencers. To this day, the brand is on a constant quest for perfection, to continually produce impeccable works of craftsmanship and beauty - harmoniously blending tradition and modernity, technology and art into each timepiece.

Attention to detail is key, with craftsmen at Raymond Weil focussing on the smallest of details, whether crafting the mechanisms or polishing the custom-crafted links to perfection.

Ladies Raymond Weil watches are famous for their combination of bold metals and fine jewellery accents for a distinctly feminine feel. The Raymond Weil wrist watches for men reflect the elegant simplicity of a by-gone era by updating classic elements with modern style and functionality.
