Stepping up in Raymond Weil's range
The Toccata collection takes its name from the free-form musical composition — a nod to Raymond Weil's long-standing practice of naming ranges after musical traditions, and a reminder that this is a family-owned Swiss company rather than a corporate one. The watch sits firmly in the classic dress tier: quartz-powered for set-and-forget reliability, Swiss-made, and deliberately restrained in how it presents itself. At 8mm thick, a 39mm case carries less mass than most at that diameter, and the result is a watch that disappears beneath a cuff rather than catching on it. The sun-brushed grey dial reads as cool and unobtrusive under office light, with silver baton indexes that keep the face legible without adding visual weight. The bracelet is sized by removing pins in the traditional way, which makes a precise fit straightforward.

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.
What size strap does it take?
19mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
