Introducing the Millésime 35mm: Raymond Weil's Timeless Symbol of Elegance
Raymond Weil expands its Millésime collection with the launch of a refined 35mm diameter, marking a year of success and innovation. Following a prestigious win at the 2023 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), these five new creations exemplify the brand’s blend of Swiss horological tradition and modern sophistication.
Celebrating Success
The Millésime collection, launched in 2023, pays homage to ‘neo-vintage’ design, balancing timeless elegance and contemporary style with sectorised dials and refined finishes. At Watches & Wonders 2024, Raymond Weil debuted 11 new references, including the award-winning model’s fresh colourways, a 35mm option, and complications like the tri-compax chronograph and a moon phase.
Now, the collection introduces five new 35mm models, each showcasing subtle yet striking interpretations of modernity:
- A stainless steel case with a silver dial reflecting metallic textures.
- A Burgundy dial with a rose gold PVD steel case, offering a rich contrast.
- Denim-blue dials, one featuring a moon phase and the other a central second hand, both adorned with diamond-set lugs.
- A silver dial with a moon phase in a rose gold PVD case, evoking timeless elegance.
Luxury and Accessibility Combined
“The Millésime collection represents a new chapter for Raymond Weil,” says CEO Elie Bernheim. “It connects with clients who appreciate timeless elegance, craftsmanship, and a blend of classic and modern design, all at an accessible price point.”
Versatile Design and Swiss Craftsmanship
The 35mm Millésime collection caters to those with smaller wrists, offering refined Swiss mechanical watchmaking with two standout models:
- The 2125, featuring a central second hand in silver, denim blue, or Burgundy dials.
- The 2145, with a moon phase complication in rose gold PVD steel or denim-blue dials, accented by diamond-set lugs.
Craftsmanship in Every Detail
Raymond Weil’s Millésime watches feature meticulous craftsmanship, from leather straps with W-shaped stitching to ergonomic steel bracelets with rose gold PVD options. Each detail reflects the brand’s commitment to quality, ensuring these timepieces remain timeless and accessible.
