Raymond Weil, A Modern Watchmaker

Raymond Weil watches brings back the old world charm of the original watchmakers. This family owned and operated business has only been in existence since 1976, but has made their presence known in the industry already and has built a solid reputation as a superior quality watchmaker. In researching the brand, it becomes clear in an instant that one of the many reasons they have created such a successful brand is because they know what the consumer wants and are able to deliver consistently.

The brand manufacturers their luxury timepieces from their headquarters in Switzerland, where the most famous watchmakers made their name. Their designs are well thought out and luxurious in a way the exudes timeless grace. The line is not cheap, yet their collections are not overpriced either. The moderately priced watches are high on style. A few of their most popular collections are the Don Giovanni, the Nabucco Rivulzione, and the Freelancer. They are responsible for creating a few limited edition watches, as well like the Nabucco Cuore Caldo, but for the most part their business is made up from traditionally elegant pieces like those from their RW Sport, Othello, and Tradition lines. Of course, Raymond Weil makes women's watches, as well. The Shine, Parsifal, Tango, and Noemia collections are highly popular and really well made women's timepieces.

One of my most favorite is from the Shine collection. The RW Women's Shine watch #1800STI05383 is at the top of my list. This women's timepiece is great, because it comes with a luxurious white strap that looks wonderful for summer. The dial is embellished with diamonds and so is the bezel. The elongated rectangular face is ergonomically designed to fit the curve of my wrist for a comfy fit. I love the white dial and the artistically designed diamond numbers that adorn the quarter hour settings. This watch also comes with a polished steel bracelet, but I think the white leather is just perfect for this season. Like I said, these timepieces aren't inexpensive, but this Shine model (even with all the bells and whistles) retails for just under $2,000.

Raymond Weil is so sought after not only for their incredible design, but also for their dedication to excellent watchmaking. If you're not familiar with the line, it may be time to check out what they have to offer. You might be surprised at what level of quality you get for the money.
