After music and contemporary art, RAYMOND WEIL opens its brand territory to the world of arts and culture. The RAYMOND WEIL x Largo Winch Limited Edition watch transcends traditional watchmaking boundaries to immerse itself in the 9th Art, that of graphic novels. In fusing classic Swiss elegance with the adventurous spirit of modern times, this new millesime Tri-compax Chronograph is a tribute to Largo Winch’s inspiring determination and courage. Every detail of this watch reflects RAYMOND WEIL’s commitment to creating exceptional timepieces while celebrating Philippe Francq’s, the Belgian illustrator of Largo Winch, artistry.

The artisanal approach to this 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.

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.

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.

The mechanical tri-compax chronograph movement of the RAYMOND WEIL x Largo Winch watch, boasting a 62h power-reserve, embodies the intense rhythm of Largo Winch’s adventures, where everything can change in a split-second. 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.

The classic, sporty elegance of the automatic millesime Tri-Compax Chronograph and its neo-vintage look enhanced by the glassbox, with a reference to the famous Panda dials, align perfectly with the lifestyle and allure of the ever-elegant gentleman-adventurer that is Largo Winch.
