This latest addition to the freelancer collection features a 42mm stainless steel dial framed by a green satin chapter ring with silver indices, Clous de Paris in the centre and a seconds train on the outside.
Taking centre stage of this timepiece is the visible balance wheel located above the 6 o’clock position; an open aperture design to highlight RAYMOND WEIL’s bespoke mechanical movement with automatic winding.
This delicate aperture gives a fascinating view into RW1212 Calibre movement, revealing the oscillating balance wheel, the pulsating hairspring and the vibrating pallet lever.
"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"
