In the past decade, we have witnessed several trends in the watch industry; blue and then green dials, slightly smaller cases making a comeback, integrated bracelets… And mostly, a strong focus of brands on casual, if not sporty watches. For too long, the elegant dress watch has been forgotten. But it seems that it is […]
Marking its first attendance at Watches & Wonders, Raymond Weil showcases a variety of novelties from its new Millesime collection, a few days ahead of the show.

Furniture that looks old but is made today is usually classified as reproduction furniture, models that take design cues from the past but are crafted with contemporary materials.

When you look at this watch, you might think that someone opened a wooden drawer in the attic of a venerable manufacture, found a dusty box and opened it to reveal a well-preserved late-1930s watch.

Anyway, you don’t have to be a hardcore fan to enter Raymond Weil’s contest to potentially win a limited edition Freelancer timepiece.
