“The Toccata Heritage is a journey through time — honouring the past, embracing the present, and moving to the rhythm of a legacy that continues to resonate across generations.” Elie Bernheim, CEO 

 

From its very name, Toccata evokes the refined world of classical music - a virtuosic composition that demands precision, fluidity, and expressive mastery. Derived from the Italian toccare, meaning “to touch,” the Toccata is a celebration of technical virtuosity and emotional performance - much like the art of fine watchmaking.

The Toccata collection draws on this shared language of rhythm, balance, and touch. Every curve, every component, every heartbeat of these timepieces mirrors the cadence of a musical score: composed with structure, performed with soul. From RAYMOND WEIL, a brand whose DNA has long been inspired by music.  At the heart of this new collection, Toccata Heritage has a distinctive oval shape - a design language deeply rooted in RAYMOND WEIL’s known expressions of shaped watches and its archive. More than a revival, these timepieces celebrate the evolution of watchmaking while preserving the identity of an independent, family-run Geneva-based brand, dedicated to excellence for nearly 50 years.  

The 2280 features a manual-wind, mechanical movement, housed in a thin oval case measuring just 37.7mm x 33mm x 6.95mm; a design evoking the golden age of Swiss watchmaking. The newly redesigned dauphin polished hands, now featuring counterweights, further elevates the balance of technical precision and aesthetic grace. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement reveals a design reminiscent of the 1970s, with meticulously finished bridges and blued screws—a refined nod to classic horological traditions.   

The 5280 is an elegant, smaller creation, featuring a refined silhouette of 36mm x 31.5mm, sitting just 5.1mm deep, powered by a quartz movement. This series of five models, reinterpreted for today’s discerning wearer, captures the sophistication and vibrancy of RAYMOND WEIL’s past creations. Available in a harmonious palette of colours (dark midnight-blue, burgundy or old-silver dial), with or without 60, brilliant-cut, lab-grown diamonds (0.51cts). These pieces radiate timeless allure, blending vintage charm with contemporary refinement.  

Rooted in Music. Perfected in Time.  

As RAYMOND WEIL celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026, Toccata Heritage stands as a tribute to the brand’s enduring values of transmission, legacy, savoir-faire, and the timeless dialogue between music and time.  The new Toccata Heritage line unites historical reverence with contemporary refinement, reflecting RAYMOND WEIL’s enduring pursuit of excellence. A defining feature of these timepieces is the meticulous redesign of the shoulders - shorter, thinner, yet retaining their polished elegance. This refinement echoes the distinctive shapes of RAYMOND WEIL’s historical oval timepieces, preserving a signature element whilst enhancing modern comfort and aesthetics. Complementing this evolution is a newly designed crown, subtly modernised with a refined monogram for enhanced visibility, paying tribute to the Maison’s rich horological legacy. The rounded bezel and bassine case enhance the watch’s silhouette and character.     

Continuing the journey of craftsmanship, the timepieces boast genuine calf leather straps with rolled edges, a detail drawn directly from RAYMOND WEIL’s past design codes. The introduction of a new dedicated tongue buckle echoes the case shape, seamlessly blending form and function. Improved strap integration ensures a continuous fluid line, offering an unparalleled sense of harmonious wearability. The sunray dial, a mesmerising canvas of timekeeping artistry, is enriched by applied indexes. A carefully curated palette of colors fuses the elegance of past icons with the vibrant nuances of contemporary watchmaking, achieving a delicate balance between tradition and modernity.
