Raymond Weil Titanium Watches

Raymond Weil recently introduced a new version of the Don Giovanni, the Cos�� Grande Jumping Hour. A 50 mm x 37.6 mm x 12.4 mm rectangle rose gold case houses an automatic RW 1400 calibre movement. The movement runs at 28,800 vph and has a power reserve of 42-hours. It has been decorated with a "C?tes de Gen��ve" finish and circular-graining. All of which can be viewed through the clear caseback. Surprisingly though, the real treat is not necessarily what is inside. What really stands out, on this timepiece, is on the outside. The dial features a clean look, with black and rose gold, including large 18kt rose gold-plated indexes. At 12 o'clock, in place of the hour hand, is a "jumping hour" window. The hour is shown in a large window and every 60 minutes, it jumps to the next hour. For minutes, a traditional hand, in rose gold, is used. And for the seconds, a "small seconds" subdial sits at 6 o'clock. A chocolate-brown, genuine full-skin alligator strap with saddle-stitching and an 18kt rose gold Ardillon clasp is standard. Water-resistance is 30m. Retail is $12,000. Reference 14400 G 20001

The case, in stainless steel and 18kt rose gold, measures 41.5mm x 12mm. The bezel is done in 18kt rose gold. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 100 meters. Movement is a Swiss automatic ETA caliber 2892-2 with Dubois Depraz 2010 chronograph caliber module. It has 57 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.
