Limited Edition of 3,000 Pieces
Raymond Weil unveils a new collaboration in its Music Icons series, the Freelancer AC/DC Limited Edition, paying tribute to legendary Rock and Roll Hall of famers AC/DC. This watch incorporates the in-house developed Calibre RW1212 movement, where one can view the "Alternating Current/Direct Current" balance within the timepiece.
"There is very little doubt that AC/DC is and continues to be one of the most iconic rock bands of all time and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. As AC/DC perfectly quoted "let there be light, sound, drums and guitar - let there be rock"" declares Elie Bernheim, CEO Raymond Weil.
"The collaboration with Raymond Weil marks a fantastic opportunity for AC/DC to join the other great music artists such as The Beatles, David Bowie and Frank Sinatra, who have already collaborated with the luxury Swiss watchmaker. AC/DC is delighted to be part of Raymond Weil's music Icons series. It was essential that the design of the watch represent the tireless energy of the band. The balance between being aesthetically pleasing and mechanically crafted was key in the design process" says Norman Perry, president and founder of Perryscope Productions who along with Epic Rights are AC/DC's worldwide licensing representatives.
