The family-owned Geneva brand, Raymond Weil, has been established for almost half a century and will be making a proud debut at Watches & Wonders next month. A staple event in the calendars of watch lovers, watchmakers and watch connoisseurs, the annual event held in Geneva is set to be brimming with exciting new releases from the industry’s most revered brands.
With this year’s Watches and Wonders salon taking place from April 13th to 15th 2024, watch fans can once again immerse themselves in the heart of watchmaking. Naturally, we can expect to see a host of star-studded brands exhibiting, and a breadth of equally star-studded timepieces showcased at the iconic event. For the first time ever, the team behind Raymond Weil will be right there amongst the action.

In honour of the upcoming event, Raymond Weil have today announced a fresh new expansion of their already popular millesime collection. With one reference already awarded the ‘Challenge’ prize at the Grand Prix d’horlogerie de Genève, the millesime collection has been praised as a testament to the watchmakers’ commitment to excellence and attention to detail. Equally a homage to the rich history of horology in Geneva and a new wave of simplistic yet creative elegance for Raymond Weil, the millesime collection now features three new models with eleven new references in total.

Speaking on the latest expansion of the millesime collection, Elie Bernheim (brand CEO) says:
“As the name might suggest, ‘millesime’ marks the beginning of a new era for RAYMOND WEIL. It is about engaging in a dialogue with a new clientele in search of timeless elegance..”
With the ‘millesome’ collection now positioned as the brand’s flagship in accessing a new generation of watch fanatics and admirers alike, the award-winning 2930-STC-63001 reference has had a suitable makeover. Appearing in the same elegant 39.5mm stainless steel case as their predecessors, the two new iterations of the Millesime Automatic Small Seconds are showcased in contemporary new colourways. The latest evolution of the collection welcomes timelessly trendy dials in Denim Blue and British Racing Green.
The Millesime Automatic Central Seconds model has also been revisited, with fresh colourways being released in an elegant 35mm case with silver, denim blue or burgundy sector dial options. The new offerings are part of an “inspired line for the woman of today” and are joined by two more models which make perfect use of the classic moonphase function but are appearing for the first time in a more restrained 35mm case. Echoing the “ballet of the stars” with a design distinguished by rose gold PVD steel with silver dial or stainless steel with denim blue dial, the Millesime Automatic Moon Phase 35mm is subtly adorned with 16 lab-grown diamonds (0.24 cts) for a discreet, feminine sparkle.

The novelties don’t stop there though, exuding racy elegance with a respectful nod to the famous Panda dials of a bygone vintage era, Raymond Weil present their Millesime Automatic Chronograph. The 7765 Tri-Compax Chronograph is presented in a classic 39.5mm diameter stainless steel case with a dynamic tachymeter and three subdials.
With elegant designs at the pulse of current trends, Raymond Weil’s expansion of the millesime collection will make a fitting debut for the distinguished Geneva-based watchmaking brand’s first time at Watches and Wonders.
