Why we carry it

A skeleton watch with a living character.

The Freelancer Skeleton brings together a bronze bezel, openworked architecture, and the visible rhythm of the RW1212 calibre into a watch designed to reveal its craftsmanship.

The skeletonised dial places the balance wheel at 6 o’clock, while the bronze bezel develops a unique patina over time — making each piece distinctly personal.

We carry it for clients who appreciate mechanical artistry with a sense of individuality, where the watch evolves alongside its wearer.

The movement · RW1212

A calibre designed to make mechanics visible.

The RW1212 is Raymond Weil’s Swiss Made automatic calibre developed in collaboration with Sellita, created to showcase the beauty of traditional mechanical watchmaking. Its openworked architecture reveals the balance wheel on the dial side, while the decorated oscillating weight is visible through the sapphire caseback.

With a 41-hour power reserve and refined finishing throughout, the RW1212 brings together reliable performance and a captivating view of the movement’s inner workings.

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.
