If the tunes of ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘Yellow Submarine’ get you to tap your feet and you just can’t stop yourself from humming ‘Back in the USSR’ while it’s played nearby, there is hardly any doubt about your dedication to Beatles. The short lived band of the 70s, Beatles has redefined music of the youth.

It seems to be redefining fashion now because there’s a watch that has Beatles album names inscribed in the dial. All thanks to Raymond Weil, the bespoke Swiss watchmaker who has introduced the Maestro Beatles limited edition timepiece. Each item is presented with a dedicated watchcase celebrating the music icons.

An impressive drum with the official Beatles logo decorates the top of the box while the inside features the 13 album titles that are marked on the dial of the limited edition. The watch features a mechanical self-winding movement housed in a 39.5 mm polished steel case.

Talking exclusively to Business Insider, Olivier Bernheim, the owner and president of Raymond Weil, said - “We have been in India for a long time. We have received appreciation across segments and seen a lot of growth opportunities here. The latest limited edition Maestro Beatles celebrates the 40th anniversary of the brand. We have always derived inspiration from music and this bespoke timepiece pays tribute to The Beatles. The limited edition watch is perfect for the die-hard Beatles fan as well as music connoisseurs.”

“To bring this masterpiece to the Indian market, as well as deepen our engagement locally we have exclusively partnered with Ethos Watch Boutiques and Helios. Our partnership with Ethos is primarily due to their reach and trust and their commitment to promising authenticity and safeguarding customers from various malpractices rampant in the watch industry,” he added.
