THE COLLABORATION
Philippe Francq, Illustrator of Largo Winch
Freedom. Independence. Loyalty. Diversity
Fundamental values, all shared by independent Geneva-based watchmaker and a graphic novel hero Largo Winch.
Philippe Francq, the exceptional illustrator behind Largo Winch, has accepted RAYMOND WEIL’s invitation to reinterpret the Chronograph Tri Compax from the millesime collection.
The celebrated Belgian graphic artist brings the adventurer to life in a new scenario. We open on Largo Winch, a bag slung over his shoulder and a RAYMOND WEIL watch on his wrist, about to meet a contact on the Mont-Blanc Bridge in Geneva. There’s more to the story…
The watch is limited to just 300 numbered pieces.

9TH ART
A COLLABORATION
This year, RAYMOND WEIL enters the universe of the 9th Art through a partnership with Philippe Francq, the Belgian illustrator of Largo Winch – one of the best-selling graphic novel series in the world, it is a reference in the adventure and thriller genre, read from generation to generation; Largo’s stories have also been adapted to cinema.
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ARTS
On the case back, a drawing created by Philippe Francq exclusively for this limited series: Largo Winch on the Mont-Blanc Bridge, one of Geneva’s great landmarks; in the background, a hint at one of the ‘Belle Epoque’ paddle steamers of the more than century-old Lake Geneva company, the flags of Switzerland and the City of Geneva fluttering in the wind. A perfect metaphor for an adventure about to begin and the pure spirit of its hero.
DOLLAR BILLS
Throughout, the codes of the Largo Winch universe were part of the creative collaboration, as in the color of dollar bills (Pantone 4214C) instantly spotted on the Chronograph Tri-Compax’s counters, and featured more discreetly on the watch’s tachymeter scale. Bridging two worlds, this unprecedented collaboration offers a unique piece for watch enthusiasts and graphic novel lovers, blending RAYMOND WEIL’s horological expertise with Largo Winch’s thrilling universe.
A NEW CONNECTION
Philippe Francq was particularly invested in the project, and the artisanal approach to the exclusive watch design was meticulous throughout the process of developing the idea and creating the model. From the first hand-drawn sketch on paper with his pencils to the digital blueprints, each step was executed with great precision.

Graphic novels have no sound or movement, but they capture time. The watch has sound, movement, and it beats the measure of time.
As a child, every album by Philippe Francq took me on an amazing journey to somewhere in the world, and it still does today with my family and children, who are also fans.

I’ve always been and continue to be an artisan in my creative process as an illustrator, the same way the artisans at RAYMOND WEIL assemble the watches of this special series by hand in their workshops in Geneva.
It takes me 18 months to create a graphic novel that takes an hour to read, RAYMOND WEIL takes about the same time to launch a timepiece, and it takes a second to tell time.
explains Philippe Francq.
