SpotlightRaymond Weil Unveil ART, Their First Integrated-Bracelet Collection

Geneva-based, independent watchmakers mark their 50th anniversary with the launch of Raymond Weil ART, a new sport-chic collection and the brand’s first to feature an integrated-bracelet design. Available across 14 references in two case sizes, the line spans quartz and automatic movements, with dials finished in a sunray-brushed centre paired with an azuré minute track. The architectural cases—defined by polished bevels, sculpted curves, and a signature H-link bracelet with chamfered centre links—are offered with or without diamonds, across a range of case and dial colourways. Here’s more.

ART 30mm: Nine References, Refined And Slim

At 30mm across and just 7.5mm thick, the smaller ART sits slim on the wrist without sacrificing presence. Nine references make up this line, spanning all-steel models, two-tone combinations, and two variants finished in yellow or rose gold PVD. Four references feature a diamond-set bezel with 48 lab-grown stones totalling 0.40 carats; three of these pair the diamonds with a mother-of-pearl dial set with square diamond chatons at the hour positions, while the fourth Raymond Weil watch takes a more understated approach with a charcoal blue dial on a steel bracelet.

The remaining references cover more ground: three all-steel models offer dials in sage grey, charcoal blue, and mother-of-pearl, while the final two introduce PVD treatments—one with a yellow gold bezel on a two-tone bracelet, the other fully finished in yellow gold PVD. All share the same stainless-steel case, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, date window at three o’clock, and faceted hands and applied indices filled with green Super-LumiNova. A quartz movement powers each, with a snap-on caseback left smooth for personalised engraving. The bracelet closes with a folding clasp.

ART 38mm: Five References, Automatic And Assured

The 38mm variant—9.95mm thick—is the mechanical proposition of the range, each reference driven by a self-winding movement with a 41-hour power reserve. Five references are offered: three in all-steel with dials in sage grey, metallic blue, and graphite, and two in a steel-and-yellow-gold-PVD two-tone configuration with graphite grey and metallic blue dials respectively. No diamond options feature at this size.

The case specification mirrors the 30mm: stainless steel construction, sapphire crystal, date at three o’clock, and applied indices with green Super-LumiNova. The bracelet closes with a folding clasp. Water resistance across both sizes is rated to 100m.

With ART, Raymond Weil watches make a confident, considered move into sport-chic territory—territory that, until now, the brand had left largely unexplored. The integrated bracelet and architectural case give the collection a contemporary edge, while the breadth of references ensures there is an entry point for most tastes and wrist sizes.
