Freedom of Mind

Contemporary colours, pure design, sober outlines… the FREELANCER mechanical collection by the leading Swiss watchmaker, RAYMOND WEIL, is understated, harmonious and contemporary: a blend of sophistication with modernity, exuding style and personality.

The Freelancer mechanical collection from Geneva watchmaker RAYMOND WEIL is a nod in the direction of independent professionals who wish to remain masters of their own destiny - just like Raymond Weil some 30 years ago.

The Freelancer collection is, above all, a tribute from Elie and Pierre Bernheim to their grandfather, in recognition of the spirit of independence he cultivated and passed on to the brand’s future generations.

RAYMOND WEIL continues to affirm the distinctive, luxury-based identity of one of the last pearls among independent Swiss family watchmakers.

The Freelancer collection comes with a round steel case and a dial with a pure, elegant design in sober, contemporary colours. The polished, brushed steel bracelet has the RWsignature folding clasp and fits snugly to the wrist for perfect comfort and ergonomics.

Available in both Gent’s and Ladies’, the Freelancer is the ideal watch for anyone who believes that simplicity rhymes with distinction and understated elegance.

Freelancer Date Chronograph Gents

With its matt black dial, refined style and contemporary colours, Freelancer's Date Chronograph adopts a daringly minimalist feel, in perfect keeping with the collection's original spirit. Space is shared ingeniously by the various functions - hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and date - to give the RAYMOND WEIL Freelancer Date Chronograph a sophisticated look.

The Date Chronograph has a circular-grained oscillating weight and mechanical self-winding movement with 46-hour power-reserve and 28 800 vibrations per hour. The chronograph can be started or stopped by pressing a button at 2 o'clock; a second push-button at 4 ensures an immediate return to zero.

This contemporary model stands out with its original, geometric contrasts. The sharp-angled indexes offer a smooth, harmonious contrast to the circular subdials, with the minutes at 12 o'clock, hours at 6, and small seconds at 9. The subdials are not all the same size: the small-seconds is slightly smaller than the other two, yet has plenty of character and a surprising design, with its ring and adjacent screw, underlining the steel chronograph's authentic cachet.

The curved date window at 3, flanked by a horizontal window for the days of the week, adds extra visual dynamism to the watch's architecture. The 42mm-diameter RAYMOND WEIL freelancer date chronograph can be worn with either a dark brown leather strap or a steel bracelet with double push-piece security.

It all adds up to a masculine watch with a sober, balanced look – exuding style and personality!

Freelancer Ladies Auto

The Freelancer Ladies’ collection subtly blends aesthetics with watchmaking know-how. With its beautiful black mother-of-pearl dial, dazzling with diamonds on the bezel and a harmonious designed bracelet, the Freelancer Ladies Automatic is an elegant and sophisticated watch for the young, modern women today.
