To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Geneva-based Raymond Weil has unveiled the A.R.T. collection, a completely new family of timepieces that signals a major evolution for the independent Maison. Designed around the concept of versatility and modern living, the collection introduces the brand’s very first integrated-bracelet watch, combining sculptural case architecture with refined Swiss watchmaking at an accessible price point.
Available in 14 references across two case sizes, the A.R.T. collection balances elegance, practicality, and contemporary sport-chic styling. Plus, to stay true to the brand’s long-standing philosophy of “offering fine, accessible Swiss watchmaking,” the new lineup ranges from $1,525 to $2,975.
According to CEO Elie Bernheim, the goal was to create “a watch that reflects the way people live today” while preserving the elegance and watchmaking expertise that define Raymond Weil. This philosophy is evident throughout the collection.
The result is a collection that feels both modern and timeless, refined yet practical, understated yet contemporary – the watches of the A.R.T. line are designed to move effortlessly between professional life, travel, leisure, and formal occasions without compromising sophistication or comfort.
Key Highlights
• First integrated-bracelet watch collection from Raymond Weil
• Distinctive architectural case with polished bevels and sculpted curves
• Integrated H-link bracelet with chamfered center links
• Dual-finish dial featuring sunray brushing and azuré minute track
• Available in two sizes: 30mm with a quartz movement and 38mm with an automatic movement
• Wide variety of colors, materials, and diamond-set configurations
Architectural Design with Integrated Elegance
The defining feature of the new collection is its integrated construction. For the first time in the brand’s history, the bracelet flows directly from the case, creating a fluid, cohesive silhouette.
The watch is characterized by a sculpted bezel with sharp lines enhanced by polished bevels and satin-brushed surfaces that interact dynamically with light. Meanwhile, carefully designed curves soften the architecture and create a strong sense of balance on the wrist.
The new H-link bracelet introduces subtly chamfered intermediate side links – another first for the brand – while maintaining exceptional comfort and visual continuity with the case.
Completing the design is a fluted crown that echoes the geometry of the bezel and is stamped with the RW logo, reinforcing the collection’s contemporary identity.
A Dial Focused on Depth and Precision
The dials of the new collection reflect Raymond Weil’s attention to detail and commitment to legibility, with each model featuring a dual-finish construction that pairs a sunray-brushed center section with an azuré minute track.
Applied indices and faceted hands are filled with green Super-LumiNova, ensuring strong readability in low-light conditions. A chamfered date aperture at three o’clock integrates cleanly into the dial layout, while a luminous marker on the minute track subtly improves balance and visibility.
The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, optimized for everyday wear.
Two Sizes, Multiple Interpretations
The A.R.T. collection is available in two distinct formats designed to suit different lifestyles and preferences.
The larger 38mm models are powered by a self-winding Swiss mechanical movement offering a 41-hour power reserve and housed in a stainless steel case measuring just 9.95mm thick. Five references are available, featuring dial colors such as sage grey, metallic blue, and graphite, paired with steel or bi-color integrated bracelets.
The 30mm references adopt a slimmer 7.5mm profile thanks to a Swiss quartz movement. Offered in nine variations, configurations include steel cases with sage grey, charcoal blue, and mother-of-pearl dials, as well as versions with bezels set with 48 lab-grown diamonds totaling 0.40 carats.
Several references introduce bi-color executions and yellow or rose-gold PVD treatments, expanding the collection’s aesthetic versatility while maintaining its contemporary sport-chic identity.
A Milestone for Raymond Weil
The launch of the A.R.T. collection represents more than just a new product family. It marks a strategic evolution for Raymond Weil as the independent family-owned Maison enters its fiftieth year.
With its integrated architecture, contemporary proportions, and versatile execution, the A.R.T. collection positions Raymond Weil firmly within the growing sport-chic segment while preserving the elegance and restraint that have long defined the Maison.
