The year 2023, was a landmark year for Raymond Weil for their GPHG award in the ‘Challenge Watch’ category, bagged by Millesime Automatic Small Seconds.

This fusion of nostalgic elements and contemporary design reflects the brand’s ability to blend heritage with innovation. Their ability to naturally embrace the past, and introduce new timepieces that seamlessly blend period charm with present-day practicality has birthed two horological variations, namely references 2925 and 2930 in the Millesime collection united by sector dials. One model showcases a central seconds display, while the award-winning model presents a small seconds indicator at six o’clock. Both variations are housed in a slender stainless steel case, measuring 39.5mm in diameter, and boast a gracefully thin profile, and dials in various finishes. This combination of historic allure and contemporary functionality reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering timepieces that resonate with both aesthetics and practicality.

Both the versions are an obvious nod to vintage watches. It is a classic well-balanced line that captivates with the sector dial—the primary appeal of the Millesime collection. The dial features three textures: a brushed centre, a smooth hour track, and a snailed (ie grooved) outer minute track. While achieving a balanced and readable dial may seem simple in concept and execution, it becomes a noteworthy accomplishment when incorporating a variety of shapes and textures that seem to be placed in a harmonious symmetry. The small seconds at six o’clock contributes to this balance seamlessly, offering a smooth integration. The new old design stands out with the concentric circles inside the round, stainless steel case that is accentuated by the short lugs. This is also because the bezel is brushed, with a polished bevel, and the rest of the case and lugs are polished. The juxtaposition of finishes reinforces the overall level of finishing and clean lines—a characteristic that distinguishes the Millesime collection to be a worthy winner. The immaculately designed watch, paired with a colour-coordinating genuine calf leather strap, is a great vintage-inspired watch with a modern twist.
