The Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Chronograph Automatic Men’s Watch 4878-STC-00200 is a watch, that is full of luxury.

I like to start with the band and work my way in, like slurping up a delicious noodle. So, we got a black leather, alligator style badn here which looks great, and I’m guessing is made with the highest quality materials. Exquisite. The band compliments the rectangular stainless steel case quite well. We haven’t even got to the meatball of this noodle slurp and already it is going pretty well. Black leather with stainless steel is just a clean  and sleek look. It’s simplicity is beautiful and its quality comes from the elegance of the materials picked.

Let’s get some face-time, and by that I mean time for the meatball, and by that I mean let us look at the face of this watch. Oh, we got a nice scratch resistant sapphire up in this place, its real nice and also offers water resistance to 99 feet. Let’s take a look under the hood, and by that I mean let us look at the watch under the sapphire. We got sixty seconds, 30 minutes, and some other little do-hickey all lined up in smaller circles which look real cool, but honestly who uses those things, not me that is for sure. THen for the big face we got some super cool roman numerals. They are in a circle inside a rectangle which is just crazy. We got automatic movement and a two tone dial color that is sure to blow your socks off. Not wearing socks? Maybe put some on first, because having socks blown off is pretty fun. The silver dials and hand colors accent the black dial creating a harmony that any tolerant person would be proud of.

If you want to buy a fancy watch that has a lot of circles inside of a rectangle, then consider this piece. It is sure to tell you the time as long as it works and is set to the right time.

Love the look of a square-faced watch, but like the ease of a round dial?  Who says you can’t have your watch and wear it, too?  Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Men’s Watch 4878- ST -00200 combines all the easy readability of a circular dial into the streamlined design of a square watch face.

The clean black and silver design is minimalist while the roman numerals edging off the dial add a touch of unique flavor to this watch.  The luminescent hands coordinate nicely with the silver of the watch and allow you to track their movement through the chronograph dials with ease.  The chronograph, date function, and self-winding automatic movement make sure that this watch keeps you running on time, all the time.  With scratch resistant sapphire crystal dial window, stainless steel bracelet adjustable from 5”-7”, and water resistance of up to 30 meters/100 feet, this watch is appropriate for a wide range of activities.

Raymond Weil has used music as the inspiration to make some of the finest luxury watches. The Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection draws from the opera Don Giovanni with music by Mozart as its muse. As with an luxury timepiece, the goal is to create a uniquely perfect instrument that will appeal to, at least some people, as the ideal watch for them. The Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Automatic Jumping Hour Men’s Watch 4400-ST-00268 is good, but the better question might be whether this is your ideal watch. As we’ll see, the watches precision and elegance may make it as much a masterpiece as its namesake.

Starting with the basics, the watch features a rectangular face with an antireflective-sapphire window on its face. It features a deployment clasp with double push button. The case diameter is 38 mm while the band width is 28 mm. It is shock resistant and water resistant to 99 ft. However, the most intriguing aspect of this piece is the “jumping hour” design.  At the 12 o’clock there is a “digital” display showing the current hour only. Around this display the minute hand goes around as normal and below this at the 6 o’clock is a separate circle displaying seconds. This is a very unique and refreshing change from the standard single circle displaying both hour and minutes.  You don’t often see a watch like this and many times such a piece comes with a leather strap instead of the metal band on this particular model. As such, the piece is quite unique and sure to stand out amongst others.

It is hard to weigh the pros and cons of this particular piece because it is a unique and indeed luxurious wristwatch. Some of the best features like the “jumping hour” display may be a big plus to some while for others it is a deal breaker. As I mentioned at the beginning, when it comes to a luxury watch such as this one, it is not for everyone, but to some this is the perfect timepiece and will be among their favorites for years to come.

So, in summary, if you want a luxury timepiece, with some atypical qualities ranging from the mundane, like the rectangular face, to the unique such as the “jumping hour” design, then this watch is certainly for you. You can rest assured this is a quality watch and with the water resistance and shock resistant design, you can enjoy it for years to come.

The Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Chronograph Automatic Men’s Watch 4878-ST-00668 has an aura of boldness and self-assurance that will surely surround any man who chooses to wear it. Measuring 37mm x 50mm, its size is also impressive, but not excessive, making it a good choice for the kind of guy who likes to make a confident first impression.

When examining this watch closely, you’ll notice that it has many handsome details that make it stand out from the pack. These include:
• Rectangular shaped stainless steel case
• 8” bracelet featuring a folding clasp with a double push-security system
• Grey dial with a silver center and Roman numerals
• Date window at the 12 o’clock position
• Chronograph function
• Transparent sapphire crystal case back, for the best possible view of its inner movement
• Engraved Raymond Weil logo appears on the crown

The 4878-ST-00668 isn’t only impressive in appearance. If you dig deeper, it also boasts an extensive list of technological features that can’t be detected just by looking at it. The most notable of these are:
• Water-resistance up to 100 feet (30 meters)
• A sapphire crystal treated to prevent glare
• Mechanical chronograph movement with Swiss automatic winding
• Fitted with an Etachron regulator system to ensure precision and accuracy in date and time functions

There is a lot to be said for this timepiece, and with all of its handy and interesting features, there are definitely a lot of men who would love to get one of these around their wrist. I mean, you probably know at least one guy who would absolutely love to look inside his watch and see how it works. Or maybe you are that guy. Either way, this (with a window to its inner workings, robust stainless steel case and strap, and automatic winding) is a watch for the gents.

However, not everyone shares the same taste, and there are a few things about this piece from the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection that some might not like. For starters, the use of Roman numerals on the dial could be off-putting for the person who either isn’t very good at reading them or is someone who just prefers regular numbers. The rectangular case shape is more uncommon in men’s watches when compared to the round or square cases, so it may not appeal to the consumer with a more classic taste. Lastly, this watch retails ranging in price from $1,702 to $3,450, and won’t easily fit into the average budget.

Still not sure whether or not this is the right watch for you? If you like to see how things work or if you want something a little bit non-traditional in shape, or if you just want something with a little bit of weight to it, then this is a solid option. If not, I would check out Raymond Weil’s Tradition collection for a more classic selection that provides similar features and just as much variety as the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection.

Nothing says class like a black and steel men’s watch, and the Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi series takes class to a whole new level. With its stunning rectangular case framing a dial set with a circular face,the 4878-ST-00200 is particularly stunning. The silver roman numeral indexes effectively fill the corners of the dial and set off the black face. Every feature of this watch is well thought out.

This timepiece is packed with functions. In addition to giving you the time of day, it features a three dial chronograph, and a date window at twelve o’clock. The automatic Swiss-made movement will keep you on time without winding or battery worries. Other great features include:

4878-WT-00200 exhibition case back and fold over clasp.

• Scratch resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal
• Exhibition case back with sapphire crystal is secured by jeweler screws
• Push-in crown with RW icon
• Sizeable stainless steel bracelet
• Fold over clasp with hidden double push button release
• Water-resistant to 99 feet (30 meter) – not recommended for swimming or bathing

One look at the profile of this watch gives you an idea of why it was named for the legendary ladies’ man, Don Giovanni. It is sleek, and sexy. Inspired by Mozart’s comedic opera, the series melds cutting edge style with advanced technology. The 4878-ST-0200 takes this concept to its own level with unique, but classy looks, and the best materials and workmanship in each component. Even its cousins in the series can’t quite match its style with their more traditional rectangular faces. They do provide an option when it comes to color scheme or bracelet style. If you prefer an all silver look, consider the 4878-ST-00668. The 4878-STC-00268 and 4878-STC-00658 offer similar functions with a black alligator leather strap.

Sleek and sexy profile of the 4878-ST-00200

Pros: This watch stands out without being overly flashy. The durable materials and neutral colors mean you can wear this watch anywhere. The exhibition back lets you show off the automatic Swiss movement.

Cons: Although packed with functions, the watch is waterproof in name only. It’s safe from rain or a light splash, but should not be worn to swim or bathe. Given the price tag (suggested retail $3450) I can’t imagine anyone wearing it in the pool anyway.

So if you or your favorite guy need a little inspiration from Don Giovanni, this handsome watch is definitely one to consider. You won’t find a better looking men’s watch anywhere.

Raymond Weil’s Don Giovanni Cosi Grande automatic jumping hour watch is a fully mechanical classic yet sporty watch with a pink gold case and an alligator leather strap. This timepiece is a part of Raymond Weil’s Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection. The watch has a black dial protected with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. The case and the stationary bezel are both made of 18k rose gold and the back is held in place with screws, as is the push in style crown. This piece is a Swiss made with an automatic movement. The alligator strap is 8 inches and uses a pin and buckle style clasp. The case has a diameter of 37 mm and is water proof up to 30 meters or 99 feet.

The pink gold on alligator leather strap Don Giovanni Cosi Grande 14400-g-20001 automatic jumping hour watch is extremely expensively retailing at $13,995. That’s American dollars, making this not an everyday watch. The pink gold casing is brilliant but not overstated. The alligator leather fondly accentuates the pink gold. This is an example of a watch exemplifying accessory over practicality in that all of its features are superficial. It is jewelry, and very elegant jewelry at that. Despite the use of alligator leather and 18k pink gold the watch is not gaudy. The dials of the watch are somewhat strange. The movement is automatic and the hour “jumps” so there is no hour hand. There is a large window at the 12 o’clock position displaying the hour while the minute hand rotates along the dial marked with hours and minutes. There is a smaller dial marking the seconds. The face isn’t difficult to read as a result, but it adds some amount of pretension to the watch. Apparently, there is a date display on this timepiece as well.

This is the sort of watch a CEO receives from the company he’s run for 35 years as a retirement present. This is by no means a middle class watch, the kind of individual who is in the market for a watch like this likely has a whole collection of expensive toys. He’s a globe trotter, has a yacht and probably a plane. He has a condo in New York, a small mansion in Los Angeles and a condo in the Caymans. Not that there is anything wrong with having these things, it just means this watch falls into a very specialized category. While it is marketed to be water proof up to 30 meters, if you are dropping $14,000 on a watch, I don’t recommend wearing it in the pool and definitely not on that annual canoe trip in the Adirondacks.

If you’re looking for a watch that’s classy, traditional, and carries a little bit of a bite, then perhaps the Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Men’s Watch 4878-STC-00268 with the black alligator bracelet is the accessory for you.

The Don Giovanni Cosi Grande collection by Raymond Weil gives a refined sense of style to modern technology.  The Cosi Grande 4878-STC-00268 watch adds to this tradition with its edgy alligator strap and modern command center face with three mini-dials for added appeal.  With such a sleek, bold, and masculine look, this watch is perfect for a fancy night out, or any occasion where you’d want to make a good impression.

Pros:  The Cosi Grande 4878-STC-00268 offers many quality features that Raymond Weil is known for in terms of functionality mixed with style.

• The integrated chronograph makes this watch useful in a recreational or work-related setting where a stop-watch mechanism may be useful.  Whether you’re playing a game or gauging productivity in the workplace, the Don Giovanni watch can seamlessly integrate into your lifestyle.
• The sapphire scratch proof crystal allows this immaculate timepiece to keep its shine while you go about your day.
• The black alligator strap makes the Raymond Weil watch adventurous enough to add to your everyday wardrobe, and stand out as a luxurious piece of jewelry on a formal outing.
• The silver-accented Roman numerals against the black dial makes the watch easy to read, while the steel casing around the frame gives the ensemble an aesthetically pleasing refined look.

Cons:  While this watch looks great, having an alligator-strap as a wrist band takes a considerable amount of maintenance.

• The natural oils from your skin and exposure to liquids and other elements may cause the alligator strap that the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Men’s Watch 4878-STC-00268 comes with to get worn out.  If this may be a problem for you, then the Raymond Weil Freelancer series is definitely worth checking out.  The chronograph-integrated watches with stainless steel bands are good way to go, if you don’t want leather.
• Valued at $3450, the price tag is pretty steep if this is a watch you do not see yourself getting much use out of.

The Final Word:  The Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Men’s 4878-STC-00268 Watch, is elegant, refined, and sophisticated.  While the price of this watch is a considerable investment for something you might not wear too often to prevent it from looking worn out, making a great impression is priceless.  If this watch suits your personal style and sophistication needs, I say that it is a great investment for your wardrobe.

If you’re looking for a watch that’s prominent enough for a man, yet glamorous enough for a woman, then the Don Giovanni Women’s Watch 5976.STS.05927 by Raymond Weil is an inspired choice.

The Don Giovanni collection by Raymond Weil first came out in 2002 as a line of watches for men.  The Cosi Don Giovanni collection is known to be bold and traditional aesthetically with a modern infusion of Swiss quartz precision.  The Don Giovanni Women’s Watch 5976.STS.05927 provides these same features only the face is simplified with only one dial.  Diamonds adorn the sides of the face, adding the glamorous piece of flair you’d expect from a women’s watch, yet the stainless steel band is 16mm wide following the trend of women wearing bigger and bolder watches.

Pros:  The family-owned company of watchmakers provide more than artistically inspired watches, the forward-thinking designers at Raymond Weil provide the latest in manufacturing quality.

• The Don Giovanni Women’s Watch 5976.STS.05927 has a sapphire anti-reflective crystal on top of the watch–allowing the watch to catch the light, but not at the wrong moment.
• The clasp is a fold-over secured with double push buttons for safety, an added feature for the peace of mind that your watch won’t get away from you easily.
• The mother of pearl dial and silver luminescent hands give the watch easy readability and style.  The numbers are written in Arabic numerals with silver toned and diamond hour markers.

Cons:  While Raymond Weil provides quality watches, the biggest drawback to the Don Giovanni Women’s Watch 5976.STS.05927 is its size and comfort.

• The linked metal bracelet may pinch if clasped too tightly, and the bulk of the watch may not be ideal for sensitive wrists.
• While the anti-reflective sapphire crystal does its job, it’s not necessarily the most durable as owners of Raymond Weil women’s watches have reported that the crystal cracked after being dropped.  This watch should be handled with delicacy, and perhaps it is not ideal for someone expecting it to be as tough as nails.

The final word:  This watch follows the trend of women’s watch being larger and more accented against the wrist, and is a lovely timepiece to admire.  The tonneau shape makes it ideal for a man or for a women, more so in the version of the watch that comes without diamonds, the Don Giovanni Women’s Watch 5976.ST.05927.  The fragility of the crystal dial cover is a risk one must bear in mind before purchasing most high-end watches.  The watch is valued at $2,195 and is a great choice for a delicate woman seeking a bold accessory.

The face of the watch appears timeless, yet classy.

So you’re the kind of guy that wants to be different from the rest of the crowd. Not too odd or strange, but just a little bit off to keep your individuality. The Raymond Weil Men’s Don Giovanni Black Leather Black Dial Watch 4888-STC-20001 was made for that kind of guy in mind. Not an eccentric, but a guy that wants to look a little bit unique in the vast sea of watches, yet still appear to have a sense of normalcy. This timepiece is interesting and it will definitely catch some eyes while walking around town. Never fear! Those stares will be looks of admiration of the classy style that you will exude from your wrist.

The Don Giovanni is a watch that many people will have to get used to wearing. It features two distinct dials in a square shape. This is no average watch, but the changes that Raymond Weil made are for the best, as this is truly one unique timepiece. The face of the watch is a beautiful black that may appear to have a blueish tint in the right lighting. The inside of the dial has an indicator for am and pm. The top dial is set for standard military time, so it has a 24 hour mark, a 6 hour mark, a 12 hour mark, and an 18 hour mark. The 12 o’clock mark is shared by the two dials with the second dial being in a normal 12 hour format with the 3 o’clock mark replaced by an indicator for the date.

The choice for having the top dial in 24 hour increments instead of 12 was a stroke of genius for the designers of this watch as it allows a very intuitive system to be formed in the watch face. The time is very easy to read and you will enjoy the ease of use this watch provides by the clear white font across the black background. The bezel appears to be very large which is good for tired eyes.

The clasp on this watch is super secure!

This timepiece has a leather strap that is black in color. I know what you are thinking. This watch sounds incredibly dark, but that is not really the case here. You see, the crown and outer casing of the watch is a very nice stainless steel, which offsets the dark interior and exterior. This creates a very coloring that will make it very easy to match with any outfit.

The casing itself is made of an anti-reflective sapphire material, which has proven itself as a sturdy scratch resistant surface. You can bang up this watch quite a bit without having an damage show on the watch face. The timepiece is water resistant up to 99 feet, which means that it will be fine in the rain and showers for added protection. It also is powered automatically by Swiss movement, which can guarantee that your watch will keep time well even if you are careless with it.

This timepiece is very interesting to look at. It was designed for really any man who wants to add a stylish timepiece to their fashion accessories. It would look excellent with numerous suits and it can fit easily with many different styles. The dual dials can be beneficial to constant travelers and men who are on the go. Stock traders may find this to be the perfect watch for them as they will always know when the markets open in various parts of the world. Overall, this watch is very sturdy and look great. I don’t see why you don’t already have one on your wrist right now!
