Since its launch in 2007, this emblematic collection has drawn inspiration from the entrepreneurial vision of the founder, Mr Raymond Weil—pushing the boundaries with their creativity and fine watchmaking know-how. With its assertive designs, innovative features, and cutting-edge materials, the Freelancer quickly established itself as the brand’s flagship line, captivating both watch enthusiasts and those who appreciate contemporary elegance worldwide.

“Freelancer, as its name implies, symbolises the liberty to express our mastery while honoring our heritage. Today, more than ever, this collection both encapsulates the essence of our family brand and charts the path to our future,” says Elie Bernheim, CEO, Raymond Weil.

Every detail, from mechanics to aesthetics, reflects attention to excellence. This dedication is evident in the collection’s refined proportions that resonate with today’s active urban lifestyle while preserving the timeless appeal that has always defined the brand.

The Complete Calendar

Raymond Weil introduces its first Complete Calendar in the Freelancer collection. The mechanism displays date, month, day, and moon phases within a redesigned 40mm case featuring integrated correctors. A new milestone for the collection, it combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Available in two references, 2766-PC5-64001 and 2766-ST-50001, this timepiece strikes the perfect balance between technical precision and refinement. The harmonious arrangement of the day, date, month, and moon phase is perfectly orchestrated on a sandblasted dune or deep blue dial, creating a delicate interplay of light and texture. Every detail reflects the brand’s pursuit of excellence, where mechanical precision and timeless elegance come together as one.

The RW1212 Skeleton

The RW1212 calibre, developed in-house and a cornerstone of the Freelancer collection, appears in a new cushion case design limited to 500 pieces. The distinctive shape adds fresh design and engineering dimensions to this signature movement. The brand’s R&D department meticulously reimagined each component to highlight the balance wheel at six o’clock, elevating the beauty of the horological mechanics through an openworked traversing bridge. The result is a movement of striking depth, where architectural sophistication meets mechanical ingenuity.

The cases distinguish themselves through fluid lines and subtly softened angles, while masterfully alternating polished and satin finishes create an elegant and harmonious aesthetic.
