Raymond Weil x seconde/seconde/ — A New Chapter in Dress-Watch Creativity
Raymond Weil has teamed up with Parisian mischief-maker seconde/seconde/ to create a dress watch that looks like it should be straight-laced… until you actually look at it. This is the Toccata Heritage turned on its head — classic Swiss elegance on one side, deadpan humour on the other. Proper Wind Up energy.
The “Raymond Says” Dial
Remember Simon Says? Same idea — except instead of a playground game, it’s wrist-borne etiquette. The dial is sliced clean down the middle:
One half is moody, matte grey with a bright little reminder that your shirt cuff should politely hide half your watch.
The other half is a sunburst anthracite number that puts all its text on its side, as if it’s refusing to play by the usual dress-watch rules.
It’s refined, it’s cheeky, and it’s exactly the sort of collaboration you get when you invite seconde/seconde/ to poke fun at tradition.

Specs With a Side of Sass
Underneath the humour, you’ve still got a proper bit of watchmaking. A slim oval stainless-steel case, just 6.95 mm thick. A hand-wound mechanical movement with around 45 hours of power. A black calfskin strap. And then the best part — the case-back gives you a gentle ticking-off about how to wind the watch properly. Take it off first, it says. And do it with drama. Ideally mid-conversation. Naturally.
Why It’s Cool
Dress watches usually whisper. This one winks. It nods to classic Swiss elegance while giving a sly smile to anyone who enjoys watches with personality. It doesn’t just tell the time — it tells a joke, quietly, in the corner of a dinner party.
Raymond Weil’s collab with seconde/seconde/ proves you can respect the rulebook… and still draw all over the margins.
