History

Raymond Weil Genève SA was founded in 1976, when Raymond Weil left his post as general manager of Camy Watch after 27 years to start his own independent manufacture, in the middle of the quartz crisis facing traditional Swiss watchmaking. The company remains family-owned today, led by Elie Bernheim, the founder's grandson.

The Freelancer collection launched in 2003 as Raymond Weil's youngest, most accessible catalog line, aimed at buyers who wanted a Swiss mechanical watch without the price tag of the brand's higher-end collections.

In 2017, Raymond Weil introduced the Calibre RW1212, its first self-designed automatic movement (developed in collaboration with Sellita), with a dial-side aperture revealing the balance wheel oscillating at 6 o'clock. Reference 2790-ST-52051 houses this caliber inside a softly rounded square case with a gradient green dial.

The steel bracelet uses a folding clasp with double push-button security, and the snapped caseback carries a sapphire crystal that lets the wearer see the movement running.
