Stepping up in Raymond Weil's range
The Toccata collection takes its name from a form of music built to display the performer's touch — and the name was chosen deliberately by a company that has structured most of its catalogue around musical reference. This rectangular case revives the Art Deco proportions that defined dress watchmaking in the 1920s and 1930s, and violinist Nicola Benedetti has had a hand in shaping the collection's direction, which is an unusual arrangement and gives the range a clearer identity than most. At 22.6mm by 28.1mm and only 6.25mm deep, it is the flattest case in the Toccata line — slim enough that the tiered case edge reads as an architectural detail rather than a structural necessity, creating an impression of depth the profile itself refuses to carry. The mother-of-pearl dial sets eight single-cut diamonds against a railroad minute track and Roman numerals, and the rose gold tone of the hands sits warmly against both the dial and the yellow gold PVD of the case and bracelet.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
15mm. 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 women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
