For many years, the world’s leading watchmaking companies have been competing to produce the thinnest mechanical watches. Prestigious brands such as Piaget, Bulgari, and Richard Mille have been at the forefront of this race, with Bulgari securing a prominent position, dominating various categories. Recently, Bulgari made headlines by reintroducing its ultra-thin minute repeater during the first day of the Geneva Watch Days. Piaget previously held the title for the thinnest tourbillon watch at the Watches and Wonders event.
However, a new contender has emerged from Eastern Europe. Russian watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin unveiled a prototype that puts him at the forefront of the ultra-thin watch category.
Elegant and classic releases adorn the new collection
In 2023, Raymond Weil introduced the Millesime collection as a tribute to Swiss watchmaking tradition. Embracing the ‘neo-vintage’ trend, the collection is distinguished by its sectorized dial and geometric lines, striking a balance between tradition and modernity. In April 2024, during the brand’s debut at Watches & Wonders, Raymond Weil unveiled 11 new models in three categories. Now, to celebrate the collection’s first year of success, five new 35mm models have been introduced: three featuring a central seconds hand and two with a moon phase complication adorned with a human face radiating optimism.
Starting with the more intricate release, the Millesime Moon Phase, this model features a 35mm x 9.98mm case and is available in two versions: a rose gold PVD case with a silver dial, or a steel case with 16 lab-grown diamonds on the lugs and a denim blue dial. The dials feature Arabic numerals, Super-Luminova coated hands, and display the time along with a moon phase aperture at 6 o'clock, highlighting the iconic human face.

This model is powered by the automatic RW4280 movement, providing a 41-hour power reserve. Both versions are paired with navy blue genuine calf leather straps featuring a distinctive W-stitched detail. The steel variant comes with a stainless steel buckle, while the rose gold PVD version is fitted with a matching rose gold PVD-coated buckle. The prices are CHF 2,450 / AED 10,600 for the steel version and CHF 2,225 / AED 9,600 for the rose gold PVD variant.
The second release in the Millesime collection is a simpler time-only display, also measuring 35mm in diameter but slightly slimmer than the Moon Phase models, with a thickness of 9.18mm. Three stylish options are introduced, each featuring a stainless steel case. Two of these models come in stainless steel with denim blue (16 lab-grown diamonds on the lugs) and silver dials, while the third is a gold PVD version with a striking burgundy dial and matching bracelet.

The trio is powered by the Caliber RW4200, an automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The steel variants are paired with gray or navy blue genuine calf leather straps featuring a distinctive W-stitched detail and a traditional stainless steel buckle, while the rose gold PVD model comes with a matching rose gold PVD-coated bracelet and a double push-security system clasp. The prices for the collection range from CHF 1,575 to 1,925, equivalent to AED 6,800 to 8,300.
