 More than 2,500 guests were invited to the Roundhouse venue in London for the BRIT Awards 2008 with MasterCard Nomination Launch Party. Raymond Weil, celebrated luxury Geneva watchmaker, has proudly announced their status as Official Watch to the glamorous music awards event - The BRIT Awards 2008 in association with MasterCard. Raymond Weil has continuously maintained close relationship to the world of music, including design collaborations with Craig David, Lemar, and Jay Kay, as well as links to other most prestigious music events and sponsorship of the International Music Award at the annual Nordoff-Robbins Silver Clef lunch. Raymond Weil has continuously acted as the supporter of Nordoff-Robbins, providing music therapy for both adults and children. The brand has recently joined efforts with celebrated British singer Leona Lewis. The new partnership with The BRIT Awards 2008 has strengthened Raymond Weil's relationship with the music industry. Raymond Weil, acting as Official Watch of The BRIT Awards 2008, has created a special, limited edition Freelancer watch to be presented to all performers and presenters taking part in the 2008 show. The sophisticated Raymond Weil Freelancer watch is housed in a round case with a diamond-paved bezel. The timepiece embraces the wrist on a gorgeous chocolate brown alligator strap.
