Why we carry it

A movement designed to be seen.

The Freelancer RW1212 places mechanical artistry at the forefront, with an open-worked blue dial revealing the balance wheel and movement architecture.

Developed with Sellita, the calibre combines Swiss reliability with refined finishing, creating a timepiece that celebrates the beauty of traditional mechanics.

A watch for collectors who appreciate craftsmanship that is meant to be admired, not hidden.

The movement · RW1212

A calibre designed to be seen.

The RW1212 automatic calibre was developed in collaboration with Sellita and engineered to showcase its mechanical architecture through the dial side. Its open-worked construction reveals the balance wheel at 6 o’clock, while the oscillating weight features refined Côtes de Genève decoration and Raymond Weil engraving.

Servicing is handled through our relationship with Raymond Weil, ensuring the movement receives factory-standard care and continues to perform with Swiss precision for years to come.

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.
