Before the 2024 “Watches and Miracles” exhibition, Swiss watch brand Raymond Weil shockedly released the Freelancer Skeleton Cushion limited edition watch. This innovative work, numbered 2795-BKC-20000, reconstructs traditional watchmaking aesthetics with a subversive cushion-shaped case. It is limited to 500 pieces worldwide.
On the eve of the 2024 “Watches and Wonders” exhibition, Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil launched the Freelancer series hollow pillow-shaped limited edition watch (model 2795-BKC-20000), which redefines the aesthetic standards of urban sports watches with its highly visually impactful hollow design and tough pillow-shaped outline.
This 40 mm diameter timepiece masterpiece uses a black PVD-coated stainless steel case to achieve 100 meters of professional waterproof performance in a slim thickness of 10.5 mm. The designer uses precise hollowing out to fully present the mechanical rhythm of the RW1212 automatic movement – the power accumulation process of the 12 o’clock barrel and the elegant rhythm of the 6 o’clock balance wheel form a dynamic visual feast. The transmission wheel train is laid out on the dial like a precision mechanical city.
The dial adopts a high-contrast design concept. The fluorescent hands and white scales are clearly legible on the black background, ensuring an excellent reading experience. The equipped self-winding movement operates at a high frequency of 4 Hz and provides a 38-hour power reserve. The accompanying black calfskin strap is equipped with a customized folding buckle, and the limited edition 500-piece sales strategy further highlights the collection value. The pricing strategy of 28,400 yuan makes this work that combines advanced watchmaking technology and modern design language become one of the most popular mid-to-high-end mechanical watches of the year.
The brand’s iconic “RW” folding buckle secures the black calfskin strap, and the 38-hour power reserve satisfies daily wear. The pricing strategy of 3,450 Swiss francs (approximately 28,400 yuan) is very competitive in the field of high-end skeleton watches. Each watch is engraved with an independent number on the back, perfectly balancing collection value and practical functions.
