Continuing this summers obsession with bright-hued stark colours, Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil has launched a collection of timepieces for women called Lady Maestro. This very feminine version of the maestro with a visible balance wheel in the dial comes with a leather strap available in bright hues of cherry red, lime green, sky blue, midnight blue, bright orange, rich black and taupe or caramel beige.
The name Maestro, (which literally means master,) comes from the name of a collection by the same name which was created by Raymond Weil in 2010 and paid tribute to the workmanship and techniques which have been meticulously passed down and distilled over the years at the watch marque.
The lady maestro stands out from the crowd with its 39mm steel case. Its large diameter enables it to display 74 sparkling diamonds in its set version. Fresh nuances make their appearance in the range of bright coloured straps. Apart from these novelties, Lady maestro remains firmly seated in the tradition behind the success of this collection, with a hand-wound mechanical movement at its heart. The watchs pulsation is visible through a sapphire crystal case back and through a dial opening at 12 oclock. The dial, in natural white mother-of-pearl, is embellished with 6 diamond indexes alternating with silver Roman numerals. The hands fashioned in classical watch-making traditions and the strap in high quality leather with an ardillon buckle add their finishing touches to the elegant Lady Maestro.
