RAYMOND WEIL Women's Jasmine Stainless-Steel Bracelet Watch

Founded in 1976 by Raymond Weil, who had previously been a watch designer for another company, the watch house bearing his name is located in Geneva, Switzerland. The 1970s, when quartz watches shook the foundations of the mechanical watches market, is remembered as a hard time by all watch companies, with some consumers believing there was no need for them anymore as quartz watches were more accurate, did not need winding, and were infinitely cheaper to produce. Yet it is a surprise that the industry survived as well as it did, and even more surprising that for Raymond Weil, these dark days were the hour of its birth.

As one of the newer Swiss watch houses, Raymond Weil has built up a prestigious reputation in a short period of time. The quality of their watches speaks for itself, and word quickly spread, leading to an increased number of dealerships, with the founder becoming highly sought after and much in demand. Raymond Weil produced watches characterized by elegance and simplicity, bringing together a subtle blend of trend and tradition. Their exquisite line, beautiful materials, and meticulous finishing appeal to people of all tastes, making them both chic and practical, suitable for all occasions.

Drawing on Swiss watch-making expertise, Raymond Weil focuses on creativity and quality in order to offer its clients an impressive diversity of models to match each individual and unique personality. Attention to detail is never compromised, and the company is one of the last independent brands in the luxury Swiss watch industry.

Since its founding, Raymond Weil has drawn inspiration from major musical works to create elegant and cutting-edge timepieces. The signature Parsifal collection, named after the Wagner opera, balances symmetry and harmony with a powerful, valiant outlook befitting of the opera's hero. The Don Giovanni collection, named after Mozart's comedic opera, blends daring design with advanced technical prowess, and the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande mechanical chronograph is hand assembled by Raymond Weil's finest watchmakers. Over the years, Raymond Weil has introduced a number of other series that helped the company become an enigmatic leader of the Swiss watch industry, including the Othello, with its discreet design that emphasizes strength of character and uncompromising beauty, and the sophisticated, color-stained-crystal Traviata.

Manufactured entirely in the Swiss watchmaking universe and based in Geneva, Switzerland, Raymond Weil watches are a reminder of the company's desire to conceive timepieces that are different, elegant and modern, while at the same time displaying all the rigor of watchmaking excellence, as reflected in their signature motto: "Independence is a state of mind."
