The 88 Rue Du Rhone Ladies Watches with History

he 88 Rue Du Rhone Company is unusual in everything. And it is surprisingly young - it was founded in 2012. This luxury watch brand was created by people who know about the world of Haute Horlogerie not by hearsay. Two grandchildren of the famous watchmaker Raymond Weil decided to open their own production of ladies watches for further strengthening of the worldwide fame of Swiss watches. The descendants of the famous master, like the best artists and composers, design their creations according to the personal predilections. For example, they have named the company 88 Rue Du Rhone in honor of the eponymous street in Geneva. The street name, in turn, means "the road to the river Rhone." And it all seems simple at first glance. A curious fact is that the best boutiques are located on the Rue Du Rhone Street. Everywhere you look - everything is luxury, but there is no house #88 on this street. And at the place, where it should be, you will find a great view on the Rhone River.

The Double 8 Origin line was first launched in 2012. And since then it has incorporated not only the elegance and beauty, but also a variety of feelings - from sorrow that we sometimes feel in winter, to elation that comes in last days of February. The appearance of the ladies watches with the inscription «Alexandra» (Ref. 87WA140019) on the dial is very deceptive. These watches as if emit carelessness, and childish immediacy is felt in the gentle color of the leather strap. It may seem that Alexandra is the name of the daughter of one of the brand's founders. But it's not. The female name Alexandra on the dial belongs to the girl, who died of cancer at the age of 11 on September 18, 2013. The 88 Rue Du Rhone Company has dedicated this watch to the girl out of respect for her courage in the unequal battle. All proceeds from the sales of this model are transferred to the fund of a non-profit organization that helped Alexandra in her fight against cancer. This significant designer watch features a 39mm stainless steel case and a pink leather strap. Its grey dial is decorated with 11 pink sapphires (0,041 carats) and contains Roman numerals, luminescent hands, a pink central seconds hand and a date window. This luxury watch is equipped with a quartz movement.

And one more model from the Double 8 Origin collection, we would like to mention, is a quartz ladies watch with reference number 87WA140013. This timepiece has become the epitome of calmness and poise. This mood is inspired by the cool glitter of the 35mm stainless steel case and bracelet. Its mother-of-pearl dial with pink Roman numerals and hands is adorned with 12 diamonds (0.04 carats). So, 88 Rue Du Rhone is a very interesting company with not less interesting creations. We just want to believe that in future it will continue to create high-end watches with great history!
