In 2011, RAYMOND WEIL marks 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 manufacturer among the biggest while keeping a human dimension. Through our collections with musical connotations, such as MAESTRO, NABUCCO, PARSIFAL, DON GIOVANNI, or family associations, such as NOEMIA, or reflecting our state of mind, like FREELANCER, each year we enjoy traveling with you to the rhythm of time. This year, RAYMOND WEIL is again creating watches for you that are ever more horological and refined, including a new collection called JASMINE, which is a pure reflection of the Brand’s DNA: classical with Roman numerals, timeless with its harmonious and fluid forms, traditional with its blued hands. Throughout the pages of our 2011-2012 catalogue, you will enjoy the watchmaking know-how and the creativity of a Brand that never stops innovating, always thinking more about the people who wear our watches, you, our customers today and tomorrow. Have a wonderful journey through the world of RAYMOND WEIL!

The saga of three generations, who understood how to turn their independence into their greatest strength. Through creativity, watchmaking know-how, accessibility and above all, independence, 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 misled 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. In 35 years, and with the arrival of two successive generations, RAYMOND WEIL, created in 1976 by its founder of the same name, has succeeded in evolving over time. The evolution of its product range with the introduction of new, more sophisticated, mechanical models, the reinforcement of the opening price point collections, as well as the broadening of its communications are some of the Brand’s success factors. Like musicians who compile musical notes into a work of harmony, the four members of the RAYMOND WEIL “clan” all know how to compose as a team and as individuals. At the very beginning in 1976, Mr. Raymond Weil dared to claim his independence and created his own brand in the middle of a watch industry crisis. In 1982, Olivier Bernheim joined the company and became its Managing Director and General Manager in 1996. His dynamism, his entrepreneurial and visionary spirit and his demonstrated sense of aesthetics enabled the Swiss watchmaking company to develop internationally, while preserving its family identity. In 1999, he founded the Research and Development Department, which invented many of RAYMOND WEIL’s own innovations. In 2006, the family company proudly celebrated its 30 th anniversary with the arrival of the third generation at the helm, Elie and Pierre Bernheim. For the Brand’s partners, family continuity is a guarantee of equilibrium, stability and continuity. However, the younger generation, with its fresh ambitions, also incarnates renewal: a new visual identity, a new approach to luxury and the use of new technologies.
Music and art are at the centre of the RAYMOND WEIL universe. The Swiss watchmaker is imposing itself as the orchestra conductor with collections named after the most famous operas, the creation of one of the main photography competitions, the RAYMOND WEIL International Photography Prize, and a vocation as sponsor in the art milieu. The new advertising campaign will reflect this universe, so dear to the Brand. Produced in a concert atmosphere of opera and music, the RAYMOND WEIL timepieces will find their place, immersed in the sounds of the greatest works of art. In 2011, RAYMOND WEIL 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 manufacturer among the biggest while keeping a human dimension. RAYMOND WEIL’s 2011 novelties reflect both the modern innovative design and the traditional values of the Brand, as well as the attractive price positioning. They clearly demonstrate the family’s understanding of clients’ expectations. In 2011, RAYMOND WEIL is launching a brand new female line: the jasmine collection. In the Brand’s purest tradition, the new jasmine collection combines all the elements of RAYMOND WEIL’s feminine watches. With its voluptuously rounded, curved case, jasmine, exuding modernity, classicism and exclusivity, is the perfect reflection of the RAYMOND WEIL woman. The maestro collection, launched already in 2010, demonstrates the profound attachment of the Weil-Bernheim family to their horological roots and their desire to offer the final consumer classical pieces. The various models soberly explore the thousand and one ways of interpreting harmony, discretion and classicism. With a new moon phase, a chronograph and a calendar version, maestro plays its part in today’s passage of time. The maestro Lady, with a mechanical movement, offers a combination of technical details and subtle aesthetics to women. After 20 years of success, parsifal is reinventing itself this year through several creative variations, each sublimely elegant and refined. The new compositions imagined by RAYMOND WEIL underline the emblematic lines of the collection: bezel with gadroons, refined style and sophisticated bracelets.
“INDEPENDENCE is a state of mind” remains the leitmotiv of the family-owned Company. This motto offers a clear indication of why RAYMOND WEIL stands out amongst luxury watchmakers as an audacious, youthful, dynamic, innovative brand, which has successfully adapted to changes in its field – and adopted the innovations needed to remain a market-leader. “INDEPENDENCE is a state of mind” embodies the approach of both the firm and the people behind its success – and pays tribute to the patrimony and heritage of the family, whose force is its independence.

As a homage to Richard Wagner ‘s opera, the parsifal collection celebrates the noble and chivalrous values of the opera’s hero in its own special way: staying true to the design of its early models and preserving their pure aesthetics. Since its inception in 1990, parsifal has represented the perfect reflection of RAYMOND WEIL’s attachment to tradition, as the inexhaustible source of inspiration. Still just as elegant and refined, this historical collection by RAYMOND WEIL preserves its fundamentals, such as a bezel with “godron décor”, a distinguished feature recognized in all ladies and gents variations. Completely reworked to mark its 20th anniversary in 2010, the fifth generation collection displays resolute contemporary lines and demonstrates once again its innate capacity to evolve at the heart of the trends, gracefully harmonizing the desires of its era.

The first gents two-tone model, with automatic winding mechanical movement and 38-hour power reserve, features addition to the square date at 3 o’clock. The ladies models sport, a quartz movement in its heart. The rose gold of the bezel and the indexes offers to these two models a delicate contrast to the silver dial and the polished steel links of the bracelet. The collection’s other two new models, a gentlemen version (39 mm) and a ladies version (28 mm) identical in appearance, form a refined duo that lends itself to joint ownership, symbolizing a firm union experiencing the inexorable passage of time together. Here, the interplay between the steel and rose gold materials is enhanced by a black dial with mysterious depths, providing a splendid backclothfor the rose gold Roman numeral indexes.

A new flower has just bloomed in the RAYMOND WEIL garden. Full-bodied, voluptuous and yet delicate, jasmine, the new exclusively feminine collection of the Swiss watchmaking Brand, adorns itself in all its finery, blossoming like the most beautiful of flowers on ladies’ wrists. Jasmine, a name from a far-away place, from Asia and the Orient, embodies the absolute femininity of its wearer. Whichever interpretation you prefer, whether it be the Chinese first name, “Jian Ming”, the first part of which represents the good and the beautiful; or the queen of the flowers in India’s gardens, where it has been cultivated since the dawn of time; or the soft and ever gentle thorn that pierces the heart of lovers chosen by Kama, the Hindu god of love, the name “Jasmine” already speaks for itself.

A few minutes before the concert, the soloist is getting ready in her dressing room. A final touch of mascara, a thin pencil line under her eyes that are shining with emotion, and a hint of lipstick; she looks at herself in the mirror‌ Her cheeks blushing slightly. The musician stands up; the rustling of her sequined dress mingles with the excited murmur of the audience, awaiting her entrance. On her wrist the maestro Lady whose beating movement matches that of its owner’s pounding heart. In a moment, thousands of musical notes will hypnotize the audience, waiting with bated breath.
