Luxury Raymond Weil Watches for Sale in South Africa

It goes without saying that many of the best watches in the world are Swiss in origin, and the Raymond Weil selection is certainly no different. The now famous brand was launched in 1976, in the midst of a watch industry crisis, and has grown in popularity over the years.

Adorning the wrists of musical legends such as AC/DC, Bob Marley and even The Beatles, Raymond Weil timepieces are exquisitely made. The brand is based on the vision of the founder, who wanted to recreate the industry in his own vision. From the moment Raymond Weil watches hit the market, they became an instant hit and soon the brand had become a must have for both amateurs and seasoned watch enthusiasts. Today the brand is popular all over the world and the company has an extensive global network.

Topwatch offers a range of new and pre-owned Raymond Weil watches for sale in South Africa.

By the 1980s, the company was growing rapidly and needed to expand in order to survive. This immense task was left to the son-in-law of Raymond Weil, Oliver Bernheim, who joined the company in 1982 and modernised both the structure and the organisation. He developed a number of markets and also overhauled the communications and marketing departments within the company. Bernheim helped to transform the company into a family organisation and in 1996 he became the CEO and company President.

Throughout the company’s history, music has been its primary influence. While other watchmakers took their inspiration from aviation, military and sport, Raymond Weil was unique in that music has played the greatest role. Some of the brands most sought after collections have been named after music, with the Amadeus collection being named after Mozart. This collection was launched at the same time as the wildly acclaimed film of the same name. The naming of brands after famous musicians and famous music became the defining characteristic of Raymond Weil Watches, and soon the collections Toccata and Fidelio followed.

Raymond Weil Watches are able to stand out from all others for a number of reasons. For one thing, the watch designs are quite unlike those of other watch brands, they are far sleeker and more defined. The 1990s and 2000s saw a revolution within the company with cutting edge innovation and new technology being used to push the company into a new era. At Topwatch South Africa, we buy Raymond Weil watches of all kinds.
