Nevertheless, the watches are not fragile in any regard, as they share the core asset of all RADO watches: scratch resistance. The quartz movement measures only 1 mm in height. Launched in 2011, it is one of the thinnest wristwatches in the world to this day. The case made entirely of ceramic measures a mere 4.9 mm in height. The True Thinline is the flattest ceramic watch that RADO has produced to date. The top model of the line is a mechanical, automatic winding watch with ceramic housing and a skeletonized mother of pearl dial. You will find only three-hand watches in the selection, underlining the emphasis on the exclusiveness of the material. This collection offers classic, round ceramic cases and keeps the design of the dials modern and minimalist. This collection is designed for women and makes use of diamond adorned dials and reduced diameter case sizes. The watches have rectangular, scratch-proof cases and are equipped with high-quality Swiss movements. The assortment is branded exclusively by one single material: the high-tech ceramics. The Ceramica collection showcases the famed RADO expertise in material development. The line features automatic and quartz movements, an overly-proportioned men’s chronograph and a variety of Diamond watches. Traditional design characteristics and superb legibility of the dials are the priorities here. The look is very unpretentious and classic.
#VINTAGE RADO WATCH PRICE SERIES#
The DiaMaster collection is another reinterpretation of a series of successful vintage watches by RADO. The driving force of the collection is the HyperChrome automatic chronograph. For the most part, the watches consist of two chief materials: stainless steel and high-tech ceramics. With its wide range of models, the modern collection caters to every taste. In 2012 RADO introduced the dynamic yet elegant HyperChrome collection, which is inspired by vintage editions. RADO continuously conducts research in the field of new materials and techniques of watchmaking and therefore ranks amongst the most innovative manufacturers. In 1968, the company joined the ASUAG (Die Allgemeine Schweizer Uhrenindustrie AG) and opened its present headquarter in 1975 in Lengnau. In 1962, RADO launched the world’s first scratchproof watch, the RADO DiaStar. Towards the end of the 50’s, the company started to produce only watches of the RADO brand. The company only produced base movements for other watch companies, until they originated the subsidiary RADO Watch Co. In 1917 the brothers Schlup founded the watch movement manufacture Schlup & Co. …is what makes the RADO brand so extraordinary. Since the Diastar caused the industry to take notice of the newcomer in 1962, RADO has consistently delivered surprising and exceptional timepieces, such as the rectangular avant-garde cases the Ceramica – Sintra – and Integral collections as well as classic round model series such as the True Thinline, Coupole or Hyperchrome. True to the motto “less is more”, the Swiss watch manufacturer reduces watches to the essential, although models with the suffix Jubilé occasionally show some gold and diamonds. Looking for a material which would offer scratch-resistance without compromising comfort and adapt promptly to the temperature of the skin, the company introduced high tech ceramics to the watch world.Įqually, the RADO design has its distinct character. RADO’s unconventional material ideas for the manufacture of watches regularly cause a stir in the industry. RADO is a well-established non-conformist who never ceases to amaze the watch industry once again.
