Raymond Weil’s Expanded Millesime Collection
If you had told me a few weeks ago that one of the brands I?d feel best about coming out of Watches & Wonders 2024 would be Raymond Weil, I?d probably have been pretty confused, because at that point I don?t think I even had a meeting set up with the brand, and their attendance at the show was not even on my radar. But Watches & Wonders, as ever, has surprises in store for everyone. And sometimes you wind up taking an unexpected appointment with a brand you frankly don?t really know much about or have paid much attention to over the years, and it completely wins you over. Raymond Weil, dollar for dollar and watch for watch, had one of the most impressive showings at this year?s Watches & Wonders, and they took me completely off guard.Â
Worn & Wound has covered Raymond Weil sporadically over the course of our website?s existence. CEO Elie Bernheim came on the podcast in 2017, and there have been a handful of new releases written about and reviews filed, but for the most part Raymond Weil has simply not appeared in these pages. Why is that" Well, for much of the brand?s history, they just haven?t caught the eye of the enthusiast. Raymond Weil has always positioned itself as a mass market brand making affordable watches for everyday people, not collectors or connoisseurs, necessarily. There?s nothing at all wrong with that, of course, it was just never really our wheelhouse.Â
