The subtle use of colour nuances on the dial as well as mother-of-pearl and gold accents round off the feminine appearance. The stainless-steel cases range from 24-32mm in size and have elegantly rounded lugs. Whether it’s the use of carbon fibre and titanium or a case diameter of 46mm, everything indicates here that it is an impressive men’s collection. Nabucco watches, named after an opera by Verdi, are known for their masculine appearance. Contemporary case sizes, Roman numerals and blued Breguet hands make these watches elegant companions on the wrist. Maestro watches stand for classic understatement at its best. Designed as a pure ladies’ watch, the cornerstones of the collection are reduced diameters and the use of mother-of-pearl, rose gold or diamonds. The Jasmine collection was created in celebration of the brand’s 35th birthday. The collection moreover pays homage to Raymond Weil, who died in 2014. For the men’s collection, everything watch is automatic, demonstrating the brands watchmaking expertise in the form of sporty, elegant three-hand watches and chronographs. The Freelancer collection is probably the brand’s greatest success story and a worldwide bestseller. The result is a multitude of collections that are entirely dedicated to music and pay tribute to the greatest musicians of our time: Collections like Amadeus, based on the world-famous Austrian composer Mozart, or Fidelio, Beethoven’s only opera, show this. Thus, music has been a leitmotif of the corporate philosophy since day one. Elie Bernheim, just like his father and grandfather, is an enthusiastic musician. The latter took over the entrepreneurial legacy in 2014 after his father desisted from keeping his CEO position. His sons Pierre and Elie Bernheim followed him into the company in 2006. Bernheim’s creative phase also saw the establishment of an independent R&D department. It is thanks to him, with his entrepreneurial spirit and strategic vision, that the brand has enjoyed sustained growth throughout the world in the 18 years that he has served as President. After 20 years at the top of the company, it finally came as it had to: Weil handed over operational management to Bernheim in 1996. Weil’s son-in-law, Olivier Bernheim, joined the company in 1982 after successfully working in marketing for several global brands. So, it was that Raymond Weil who decided in the same year to found his own eponymous watch company. Mechanical movements were widely abandoned – at least for the time being.Īn entire industry got caught up in turmoil, but one unflinching watchmaker could not be deterred from realizing his dream. Entire companies had to close their doors forever. The quartz crisis reached its peak with the result that cheaper and more precise quartz movements flooded the market.
