Born out of a passion for fine timepieces and the motor racing spirit. Raidillon watches are powered by Swiss-engineered movements, which are self-winding. All watches are part of a limited series of 55 timepieces. A number derived from the company’s official partnership with the epic Spa 24-hour race, in which 55 cars are eligible to take part. And just like in motor racing, the forbidding number 13 has been left out.
Raidillon. What’s in a name ? In this case, one of the most famous and daunting curves in motor racing. A fast uphill sweep on the legendary Spa-Francorchamps race track. Uncompromising and highly technical. A place where the men are separated from the boys. And the perfect inspiration for a collection of watches and chronographs, born out of a passion for fine timepieces and the motor racing spirit.

What is your favourite luxury brand(s) and why?
I like a little hotel in a charming area, with a beautiful view, without noise. An old Leica M. A Talbot Lago “goutte d’eau”. Danish 50’s furniture. Belgian chocolates and cuberdons. The brand is not important for me. The quality and the style are more important that the brand. I think The Skoda Superb is the best exemple : Quality,style,the biggest space in a car.
