After music and contemporary art, RAYMOND WEIL opens itself 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. Combining classic Swiss elegance with the adventurous spirit of modern times, this new Tri-compax Millesime chronograph is a tribute to Largo Winch’s determination and courage. Every detail of this watch reflects RAYMOND WEIL’s commitment to creating exceptional timepieces, while also celebrating the artistry of Philippe Francq, the Belgian illustrator of Largo Winch.
The artisanal approach to the exclusive design of this watch was meticulous in every phase of idea development and model creation. From the first hand-drawn sketch on paper with pencils to the digital blueprints, each step was executed with great precision.
The codes of Largo Winch's universe were part of the creative collaboration, such as the color of dollar bills (Pantone 4214C) clearly visible on the Tri-Compax Chronograph counters, and also featured on the tachymeter scale of the watch.
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 iconic landmarks; in the background, a nod to one of the "Belle Epoque" paddle steamers of the Lake Geneva company, with the flags of Switzerland and the City of Geneva fluttering in the wind.
The chronograph is powered by a tri-compax mechanical movement from the RAYMOND WEIL x Largo Winch, with a 62-hour power reserve, embodying 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 both watch enthusiasts and comic book lovers.
The classic and sporty elegance of the automatic Tri-Compax Millesime chronograph and its neo-vintage look, enhanced by the box sapphire crystal, with a reference to the famous Panda dials, perfectly aligns with the lifestyle and charm of the elegant gentleman-adventurer that is Largo Winch.
Largo Winch is a reference in the adventure and thriller genre, read by generations; Largo’s stories have also been adapted for cinema. A bestseller, particularly in Europe, with nearly 15 million albums sold since its creation, the fearless Largo Winch takes us on his adventures, a mix of action, suspense, and intrigue in the world of finance and business, while highlighting values such as loyalty, independence, and justice.
