Two Models Perfect for Gifting
RAYMOND WEIL was founded in 1976 by watchmaker Raymond Weil. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the brand offers high-quality, creative, and accessible products.
Within RAYMOND WEIL's men's collection, the "Freelancer" series, the "Calibre RW1212" is particularly popular. Its distinctive feature is the openworked dial at 6 o'clock, inspired by the structure of a tourbillon regulator.
Collaborating on this model is "Earnest Gallery," a specialist in handmade custom straps based in Shimokitazawa. The straps, crafted by owner and artisan Mr. Kanamori, are known as "Glamorous Shape" and are praised for their perfect fit and exceptional comfort.
The "Freelancer Special Edition," combining Mr. Kanamori's cordovan strap with the "Calibre RW1212," is scheduled for release on March 8th (Thursday) exclusively at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building. Designed for those who value comfort and tactile sensation for everyday wear, only five units will be available.
Meanwhile, adorning the wrists of women is RAYMOND WEIL's ladies' series, "Noemia." The "Noemia Special Edition" emerges as a spring-exclusive model, embodying feminine grace and suppleness.
The delicately soft rose-colored dial features a sunburst-like radiating guilloché pattern at its center. Surrounding this, mother-of-pearl shifts in brilliance with the light, while ten diamond indices add a touch of spring radiance. The crown is set with rose quartz, matching the dial's hue.
This special model, in a rose color that complements Japanese women's complexions, is exclusively available in Japan.
