Raymond Weil Noemia Quartz 32mm Ladies Watch
Ref. 5132-S1S-52181
Sits in Raymond Weil’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Raymond Weil watches we list, which start at £1,095.
Price range £1,095 to £3,595 across 36 Raymond Weil watches in stock.The Noemia line takes its name from a granddaughter of Raymond Weil's founder, and the collection has always been conceived as an exclusively feminine one — not simply scaled down from a unisex range but designed from the outset around proportion, curve and light. This particular reference carries that intent a step further by setting two asymmetric cascades of diamonds into the shoulders of the case, moving the jewellery element out of the dial and onto the architecture itself. At 7.6mm thick, the watch sits almost flat against the wrist, and the green sunray dial reads differently depending on the angle — the galvanic treatment gives it a depth that shifts between muted and vivid as the light moves. The eleven diamond indices and lone Roman XII at twelve carry the signature of the earlier Noemia models, but the stones set into the case shoulders are what give this version its particular character: the decoration is structural rather than applied.

Learn more about Raymond Weil
Raymond Weil founded his company in Geneva in 1976, which was close to the worst possible moment: Swiss mechanical watchmaking was being dismantled by quartz, and established houses were closing. Starting one from nothing took a particular kind of nerve.
The company survived and stayed independent, which is rarer than it sounds — most Swiss names of comparable size were absorbed into Swatch Group, Richemont or LVMH. Raymond Weil is still owned and run by the founding family, with his grandson Elie Bernheim as chief executive.
Music runs through the brand deliberately rather than decoratively. The collections are named for it — Maestro, Toccata, Tango, Freelancer — and the company has built long partnerships with orchestras, conservatoires and record labels.
The watches sit where Swiss watchmaking is still attainable: slim dress pieces, chronographs and skeletonised automatics, mostly on Sellita and ETA calibres, with the Millesime line taking a more vintage-minded direction in recent years.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
