Raymond Weil celebrates Toccata launch

Raymond Weil, the globally renowned Swiss watchmaker, recently announced classical violinist Nicola Benedetti MBE, as the luxury Brand’s first female music ambassador. Nicola Benedetti launched her special edition timepiece, designed in collaboration with Raymond Weil CEO, Elie Bernheim at a gala event at London’s iconic Savoy Hotel on May 19th. To mark the occasion, Nicola performed Korngold’s Mariettas Lied and Elgar’s Violin Sonata before being joined by fourteen students from Jessop’s Primary School in Herne Hill, South London who were thrilled to play “Spring”, from the first movement of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, live on-stage alongside the renowned artist.

Raymond Weil and Nicola Benedetti, together, present Nicola’s signature watch as part of the new toccata collection. The special edition toccata features a chocolate-brown satin strap and contrasting ironized dial the color of chocolate, which set with 91 diamonds, makes for a truly precious and elegant timepiece. Being one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation, Raymond Weil is delighted to count Nicola Benedetti as one of the Brand’s artistic friends and hails her instinctive musicianship and dynamic presence.
