MAESTRO 35TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Independence is a state of mind

The saga of three generations, who understood how to make their independence their greatest strength.

Creativity, watchmaking know-how, accessibility and above all, independence: through the years, the RAYMOND WEIL dynasty has been inventing and boldly reinventing itself, while still preserving the DNA of its original success.

If know-how is handed down traditionally from generation to generation, so is the passion for watchmaking! Don’t be fooled by appearances, RAYMOND WEIL, which has experienced an exceptional and constant expansion for more than 35 years on the international markets with its undeniable Swiss Made quality, is a family business. Today, Elie and Pierre Bernheim, the 3rd generation, have joined their father, the son-in-law of Raymond Weil, Olivier Bernheim, as directors, becoming in their turn the guardians of an exceptional heritage. Thus the family structure is imposing its style with a human face in the jungle of a highly competitive market; and behind the family spirit lies an extraordinary vision of performance.

Uncompromising Love for Watchmaking Tradition

In 2011, RAYMOND WEIL thus combines 35 years of history and is celebrating its ruby anniversary with the world of luxury watchmaking. The ruby, one of the most precious stones, represents victory, love, happiness and the passion of a family that has built a well-established company, among the industry’s biggest, while retaining a human dimension.

And 35 years, that’s worth celebrating. With the maestro 35th Anniversary Edition, RAYMOND WEIL is presenting a complication model, which is unique among its collections and will mark the occasion. True to the chic and classic spirit of the collection, maestro, a mechanical watch with automatic winding, displays a timeless elegance and an uncompromising love for watchmaking tradition. This model, equipped with the moon phase function and two counters indicating the day and month, has a full-skin alligator strap. Its 18 ct. yellow gold 39mm diameter case and its crown, bearing the famous RW monogram, make this timepiece a “must-have” for the year 2011. While 35 years of success represent an impressive period for RAYMOND WEIL, prestige and excellence are completely timeless.
