Side by side, the Union for International Cancer Control - UICC - and the Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil, will join forces to eliminate cancer as a life threatening disease for future generations.Through the RW Club, Raymond will offer its clients the possibility to purchase online, and only in September 2010, a RW Club Limited Edition to support the Union for International Cancer Control.Each year, more than 11 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed, and about 8 million people die from this terrible disease, with 70% of them in low- and middle-income countries. More than 160,000 children aged 14 or under are diagnosed with cancer each year. Children with cancer in developing countries have less than 50% survival chances, as opposed to 80% for children in high-income countries. It is reassuring to note that between 30 and 40% of all cancers can be prevented, and one third can be cured with early diagnosis and subsequent treatment.Now it is time for reinforced action! Those women, men and children suffering from cancer are our families or our friends. For independently owned and family run, Raymond Weil it feels natural to help those whose lives have been changed by cancer. The aim of this heartfelt corporate sponsorship is to use our own international brand recognition to help raise awareness, to promote education, to set up a global network of influence and to facilitate the rapid distribution of resources to combat cancer.To do its part to win this fight, Raymond Weil has designed an exclusive and limited edition watch. The RW Club limited edition freelancer features a mechanical movement with automatic winding, a stainless steel case, with a white dial and 2 subdials, one at 12 o'clock (30-minute) and one at 6 o'clock. To celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Brand, only 34 pieces of this elegant timepiece will be produced. Online sale will be accessible in September through raymond-weil.com, under Club & Community section, and will be reserved exclusively to the RW Club members during the first week and afterwards to the whole "community". 25% of proceeds from the sale of this unique timepiece will be donated to the UICC. The gathering of funds, through a specific watch sale, to make the research of a cure progress, represents the heart of Raymond Weil approach.Source: Raymond Weil

Tradition, this is what is handed down from century to century: a practice, a body of information, a way of thinking, doing or reacting, inherited from the past. It is true that our Company cannot claim to have transmitted its ancestral know-how from generation to generation, but allow us a little more time, as we have only reached our third generation.On the other hand, we pride ourselves on having been able to extract the best from watch*** history, in order to make something different of it. Our mechanical watches are not aimed at only the elite, but at all connoisseurs who know how to recognize the value of work well done, of the Master watchmaker who has known how to assemble some elements and make them into a small miracle, whose functioning depends purely on the whims of its owner. Just think, for centuries, watchmakers have been orchestrating their creations with the same accurate gestures, in effect taking hold of a little piece of history��With this new collection, Raymond Weil demonstrates once again its profound attachment to its roots and its desire to offer a piece of history. The various models soberly explore the one thousand and one ways of interpreting a certain idea of harmony and discretion.Round cases, 39.5 diameter dials, date windows delicately positioned at 3 o'clock, a seconds counter at 6 o'clock on one of the models, Raymond Weil Maestro Tradition reinvents itself, while taking care to conserve a chic, well-groomed appearance. The silver or black dial, enhanced with a "clou de Paris" relief, emphasized by a polished and black leather strap and steel bezel endow each watch with a refined style.The mechanical SW 200 movement with automatic winding provides a power reserve of 38 hours. Elegance, authenticity, refinement and watch*** know-how come from the heart of the new Raymond Weil’s Maestro Tradition collection.
