Beyond the ¨¹berWatches: 5 (Possibly) Overlooked Watches from SIHH 2014
At this year’s SIHH, as per usual, the lion’s share of buzz and attention went to a handful of “headliner watches,” or, as we at WatchTime have dubbed them, “¨¹berwatches,” even though most of the watch brands each released a dozen or more new products for 2014.

The Freelancer collection premiered in 2007. Very nice, but my thought at the time was they were a bit out of my league. The problem is that I kept looking at them and the Freelancer stuck in my head as a watch I must have. Along comes a "Steal of the Day" deal from Ashford and I jumped. The Freelancer is not an extravagant design. If anything it is plain and simple. A three-hand automatic...42mm in diameter without the crown and just over 10mm thick...sapphire crystals front and back...finely brushed and mirror polished stainless steel case and bracelet...22mm bracelet at the lugs with a slight taper to 20mm at the double-fold push button clasp...a textured silver dial with polished stainless steel stick markers and hands, an open date window at 4 o'clock with the Raymond Weil Geneve logo in bl
