Luxury watch manufacturer Raymond Weil has been one of the iconic brands within the Swiss horological industry for many years, and the Raymond Weil Freelancer Automatic watch is an especially ostentatious member of their extensive range of timepieces. Raymond Weil specialise in forming watches that ideally unite time-honoured design outlines with an unashamed orientation towards modernity, and this remarkable wristwatch is at the epicentre of the market for contemporary male prestige watches.
Raymond Weil himself was born in Geneva in 1926, and served time within the watch making company Camy Watch S.A, before realising the apex of his ambitions through the founding of his own brand name in 1976. Because of his deep wealth of knowledge within the luxury watch industry, Raymond Weil manufactured timepieces are created in strict accordance with ingrained principles of precision, dependability, nobility and technical expertise, conforming to all of the renowned attributes of this legendarily high quality market.
The mechanical movement of the Raymond Weil Freelancer Automatic is clearly discernable through the exhibition caseback of the timepiece. The movement makes use of exceptionally specific automatic winding technology, whilst the exquisite detail of each cog within the balance wheel is visible as the mechanism smoothly operates within the watch casing. Unlike many luxury watches, the Freelancer Automatic also displays the features within the moment by way of a highly original open aperture on the front of the dial, allowing almost every angle of the timepiece’s inner workings to be viewed through the anti-glare treated sapphire crystal.
The subtly shaded two tone black dial of the Freelancer Automatic has been carefully crafted to accentuate the otherwise relatively modest design of this wristwatch, whilst the lavish rose gold hands of the timepiece lend a touch of extravagance. This rose gold theme is continued through the indexes and the clou de Paris motif at the centre point of the face, and the same colour diffuses out from the dial along the interior links of the stainless steel bracelet, building a salient visual statement that is suitable for any occasion.
This two tone bracelet is a particularly broad and masculine example of its type, and is secured firmly to the wrist with a folding clasp that makes use of Raymond Weil’s intriguingly practical double push-security system. A PVD coating has also been applied to the bracelet, generating a finish that robustly enhances many of the already sophisticated attributes of the metal beneath its surface. The 42 mm case blends seamlessly with this bracelet, with a branded crown situated on the exterior of the timepiece, helping to convey all the traditional aesthetics of a truly ageless luxury watch brand.
The Freelancer Automatic benefits from a 38 hour power reserve that is fully capable of ensuring supreme standards of timekeeping with consummate levels of ease. Like many Raymond Weil wristwatches, the Freelancer Automatic is also water resistant to 100m, a standard that may disqualify this stylish invention from attaining the full status of a diver’s watch, but is still more than sufficient to shield the flawless combination of elements within the casing from many commonplace incidents.
