Art On A Luxury Watch? Reviewing Raymond Weil X Basquiat Freelancer Special Edition

We tried sketching the Raymond Weil Basquiat Special Edition Freelancer watch in under two minutes. Watch till the end to see the final result.
This timepiece is the first time Raymond Weil has drawn inspiration from the visual arts world, and they decided to bring Basquiat’s genius to the wrists of watch enthusiasts and art aficionados alike.
The watch features Basquiat’s signature merged with Raymond Weil’s W-shaped oscillating weight, housed in a titanium case of 43.5mm diameter. The dial showcases the ‘Pez Dispenser’ dinosaur from Basquiat’s 1984 painting, along with multiple other iconic elements taken from the work of the legendary artist. The running seconds sub dial gets intersecting lines echoing the bezel, with a cutout spiral, while the 30-minute chronograph register touches on the broad themes of Basquiat’s work: life, death, and humanity.
On the sapphire crystal in the stainless steel case back (it’s PVD coated to get the titanium look), the brand has printed Basquiat’s signature, which hovers over the RW5030 movement.
