Why we carry it

A watch where the movement becomes the design.

The Freelancer RW1212 transforms mechanical watchmaking into a visual experience, with an openworked dial revealing the balance wheel and regulating system at 6 o’clock.

Powered by the automatic RW1212 calibre, it combines Swiss reliability with architectural movement finishing and refined symmetry.

We carry it for clients who appreciate a watch that puts craftsmanship on display.

The movement · RW1212

A calibre designed to make mechanics visible.

The RW1212 is Raymond Weil’s first movement created in collaboration with Swiss movement manufacturer Sellita, developed to showcase the beauty of traditional mechanical watchmaking. Its openworked construction reveals the balance wheel and regulating system on the dial side, while the decorated oscillating weight is visible through the sapphire caseback.

Servicing on this calibre is handled through our relationship with Raymond Weil, ensuring your watch receives expert care when required.

For the life of the watch

A relationship, not a transaction.

Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.

i.
Service, organised through us

When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Raymond Weil and handle the shipping both ways.

ii.
Straps & bracelets, for life

Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.

iii.
One person, not a call centre

You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.

Hold it once. Turn it over.

A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
