This fantastic lady’s watch from Raymond Weil is a testament to the brand’s forward thinking approach to horology and women’s fashion. The case size for this model is a mid-sized 35mm and it features a rose gold toned lacquered main crown with a blue cabochon cut spinel stone adding sophistication. The main crown is ridged allowing for quick modifications to the time and date.
The Jasmine watch lays flat on the wrist of the wearer with its remarkably thin case of 7.9mm. The case back is screwed in maximizing the water resistance which comes in at 50 meters (165 feet). With this level of water resistance, the watch can withstand splashes of water and some light rain.
The case is also rounded with each link polished to a perfect finish. This timepiece is adorned with 29 ideal cut, VS clarity, Top Wesselton diamonds. The diamonds are set into the bezel and break for the lugs of the integrated bimetal bracelet. The dial is silvered and features rose gold toned diamond shaped hands and applied rose gold tone Roman numeral hour markers which contrast strikingly against the dial.
The date display window is located at 3 and is ringed with rose gold tone bringing balance to the piece. Protecting the dial is a highly scratch resistant sapphire crystal designed to keep this watch looking good for years to come. The only thing noticeably missing from this watch is lume; however given all that is right with this piece, the missing lume is hardly a deterrent to buy.
The bracelet is secured with a folding clasp outfitted with a double push button release safety. This type of clasp is, by far, the most secure in the industry. Powering this model is an accurate Swiss made ETA movement which keeps this exquisite timepiece ticking. The Jasmine series is one the bestsellers from this watchmaker out of Geneva. The watch comes with a two year international guarantee and retails worldwide for USD $2,950.
