Scottish classical violinist Nicola Benedetti has been announced as ambassador for luxury Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil.

Benedetti, who's the brand's first female music ambassador, has designed a special edition timepiece as part of the new toccata collection, featuring a chocolate-brown satin strap and contrasting chocolate ironized dial, set with 91 diamonds. She commented 'This collaboration is a personal choice for me. The Raymond Weil family have been dedicated supporters of music and the arts throughout their history, and CEO Elie Bernheim has a true understanding of its power. I am thrilled to partner with a company I feel so aligned with on so many levels'.
