A mechanical watch that reveals its architecture.
The Freelancer Skeleton places the movement at the centre of the design, with an openworked dial revealing the balance wheel and the structure of the RW1212 calibre.
Paired with a black rubber strap and a 42 mm steel case, it balances technical expression with contemporary versatility.
We carry it for clients who appreciate watches that show their craftsmanship openly — where the mechanics become the defining feature.
A calibre designed to put mechanics on display.
The RW1212 is Raymond Weil’s Swiss Made automatic calibre developed in collaboration with Sellita, created to showcase the artistry of 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 a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the RW1212 combines reliable performance with a captivating view of its inner workings.

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.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Raymond Weil and handle the shipping both ways.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
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.
