According to the suit the contract Theron could choose her own earrings, necklaces and other jewelry for public events, but agreed to only wear watches made by Weil, for which she was paid "very substantial sums."

And Theron "agrees that she will not endorse or advertise watches or jewelry for any other person, entity or company, including for charity."

Raymond Weil didn't specify how much financial compensation it seeks. It asked for damages, repayment of salary for her ad campaign and fees she received for wearing competitors' items.
