Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT Worldtimer

The Geneva-based watchmaker RAYMOND WEIL is pleased to unveil its latest timepiece, the freelancer Worldtimer. Capable of displaying the prevailing hour in 24 time zones at the same time, this new watch is ideal for wearers who juggle life in different regions of the world. Despite its complexity, the model remains slim, courtesy of a new self-winding movement, the Calibre RW3230.

The new freelancer GMT Worldtimer is 40.5mm in diameter and has a thickness of 9.7mm, a modest figure considering the complexity housed within. Designed for intrepid explorers, business travellers and individuals who skillfully balance their life in different parts of the world, this model allows the wearer to view 24 time zones simultaneously.

The dial of this model is equipped with a rotating track, marked with one prominent city for each time zone. The city disc sits adjacent a 24-hour scale, indicating the relevant hour in the location shown and whether it is day/night. Barrel-shaped hour and minute hands indicate the ‘local time’. To display the local time for the current location, the wearer simply rotates the crown at 4 o’clock, positioning the name of the local city adjacent to the prevailing hour. In addition to displaying the local time for the current location, the city disc simultaneously shows the relevant hour for each of the remaining 23 time zones.
