Watches And Wonders 2024 | New Raymond Weil Watches
Just when we thought Watches and Wonders 2024 couldn’t get any better, Raymond Weil have joined the event for the first time this year and we’re already obsessed with the watches they’ve launched there! Since the family-run brand’s beginnings almost 50 years ago, we’ve seen many innovative collections and new releases, but we’re introducing you to the first ever Watches and Wonders models.
“Raymond Weil are famous for their love of timeless aesthetics, and each timepiece harmoniously blends independence, contemporary features and accessibility; the brand’s core values. These new releases not only serve as a reminder of the superior craftsmanship we can expect from the brand, but also pave way for the future of Raymond Weil.” – Bruce, Head of Watches.
With 11 new additions to the Millesime collection, we’re taking you through new complications and designs, with the same refined, sophisticated aesthetic that we know and love Raymond Weil for. The Millesime collection pays homage the brand’s history, seamlessly fusing together vintage style and modern-day advancements. The original Millesime Automatic Small Seconds watch marked a milestone for the brand, achieving the most important award in Raymond Weil history; the Challenge Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2023.
Resembling a new wave of creative elegance for the brand, discover elegant design, geometric lines, moon phase complications, neo-vintage aesthetics, and diamond-set cases. Proving that Raymond Weil are going above and beyond at their first Watches and Wonders, these are just some of the features of the new Millesime watches we know you’ll love.
“As the name might suggest, ‘millesime’ marks the beginning of a new era for Raymond Weil. It is about engaging in a dialogue with a new clientele in search of timeless elegance. These are enthusiasts who are looking not only for a high-quality, well-crafted watch with a classic yet contemporary design, but also a timepiece with refined finishes – at an accessible price point. This is the exceptional opportunity that we embrace wholeheartedly.” – Elie Bernheim, Raymond Weil CEO.
Raymond Weil Millesime Moonphase
Raymond Weil Millesime Automatic Small Seconds
Supplier codes: 2930-STC-50011 & 2930-STC-52001
A reinterpretation of the award-winning watch from Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2023, Raymond Weil are releasing two new colourways of the original Millesime Automatic Small Seconds timepiece at Watches and Wonders 2024. Crafted with new Denim Blue and Racing Green dials, the timepieces showcase a small seconds counter at 6 o’clock, and are driven by the RW4251 mechanical self-winding movement, housed in a 39.5mm stainless steel case.
The satisfying proportions and refined finishes capture a vintage, delicate vibe perfectly, and the dial accents are coated in Super-LumiNova® for enhanced legibility. With vibrantly on-trend hues, the Blue Denim model is accompanied by a black calf leather strap, whilst the Racing Green model has a grey calf leather strap. With a water resistance of 50m and a power reserve of 38 hours, we love these models for their chic aesthetic, high-performing movement, and award-winning design.
“The latest Millesime models mark the start of an era for the brand, and are testament to their limitless creativity.” - Bruce, Head of Watches.
Raymond Weil Millesime Moon Phase 39.5mm
Supplier codes: 2945-STC-65001 & 2945-PC5-50001
Ready for out-of-this-world watchmaking? Going above and beyond, the Millesime Moon Phase 39.5mm timepieces are going to keep your timekeeping to the next level. The highly graphic dial features a moon phase at 6 o’clock, with a classic, uncluttered dial design. Visually sectorised, the moon phase complication blends flawlessly with the beautiful tones of these timepieces. One model features a Midnight Blue dial and matching calf strap, and a rose gold PVD stainless steel case for a traditional bi-colour effect. The other style showcases a contemporary-sleek aesthetic with a silver coloured dial, matching calf strap, and stainless steel case.
Providing a power reserve of 38 hours, the RW4280 automatic movement drives the exceptional function of these watches. Achieving a balanced, poetic aesthetic, the moon phase is showcased with a Millesime twist, breathing new life into the emblematic watchmaking function.
“The focus for Raymond Weil is the Millesime collection. Millesime stands for ‘grand vintage’, so the approach for the new product is to give it that vintage-retro look. So, you’ll notice that the product’s on a pin and buckle to give it a 1960s, 1970s feel, and we’ve enhanced quite a few things on the automatic product by adding the W for Weil to the rotor at the back, some really nice finishing touches, and some really nice, new, fresh dial colours and combinations.” - Matthew Rowell, UK Sales & Marketing Director for Raymond Weil.
Raymond Weil Millesime Automatic Central Seconds and Moon Phase 35mm

With each piece boasting a slimline design, 50m water resistance and 38 hours power reserve, they’re the ultimate dress watch.
Driven by the RW4200 mechanical self-winding movement, the Denim Blue model has matching calf leather straps, a stainless steel case, and lugs embellished with 16 lab-grown diamonds for extra sparkle. Or, choose the silver model for an ultra-modern aesthetic, or the burgundy version with a rose gold PVD stainless steel case. The moon phase timepieces showcase the Denim Blue and Silver colourways, with the function at 6 o’clock driven by the RW4280 mechanical self-winding movement.
The neo-vintage aesthetic is achieved by the geometric lines and sector dial, with the moon phase versions balancing the measurement of time with the movement of the stars.
