More about Raymond Weil Parsifal Watches

Raymond Weil's signature collection, Parsifal is named for the Parsifal opera, or musical drama, in three acts by Richard Wagner. During the first Act, Parsifal, an apparently witless fool, sees the suffering of the wounded Amfortas, King of an order of knights who guard the Grail. In the second Act Parsifal wanders into the domain of Klingsor, a magician who is trying to corrupt the Knights of the Grail and who has stolen from them the spear used to pierce Jesus during his crucifixion. There Parsifal meets Kundry, the slave of Klingsor, who attempts to seduce him. In resisting her, he destroys Klingsor, and recovers the Spear. In the third Act, Parsifal returns to the Grail Kingdom to heal Amfortas. The drama and passion of the Wagnerian opera are ingeniously incorporated into the signature flagship line of Raymond Weil. These wristwatches continue to garner attention for their elegant styling, clean lines and often dramatic dial colors.
