RADO Scratch resistant wrist watches from high-tech ceramics

High-tech ceramics had been used in space travel for years before Rado became the first watch brand to discover the advantages of the unique material for watchmaking. The Swiss watchmaker places the highest value on ensuring that Rado watches are everlasting. The robust timepieces have been crowned with over 30 international design awards to date. Behind them is a tradition of visionary research and cutting-edge material technologies that create wristwatches that both look fantastic and last a lifetime. These ladies' and men's watches from Rado withstand the most adverse conditions and are ideal heirlooms that retain their luster even after many years, whether they have an automatic movement or a heart of quartz. 

It is not for nothing that Rado is also called the "master of materials". The company also experimented with other exceptionally resistant materials such as hard metal, sapphire crystal and high-tech diamond. In 1962, Rado presented the DiaStar 1, the world's first scratch-resistant watch. Its direct successors are based in the original collection and still amaze with extremely distinctive design. Thanks to its extremely resistant diamond surface, the Rado V10K watch achieves a hardness level of 10,000 Vickers, making it the hardest watch in the entire world.

Rado ceramic ensures particularly high wearing comfort and is also anti-allergenic. Numerous models in the range have both a case and a bracelet made of ceramic, which makes them ideal for allergy sufferers. You will find your dream watch just as quickly in the sporty Hyperchrome collection, for example, as in the selection of Rado watches Ceramica, which were even created from ceramic all along the line. For the watches of the Integral line, the ingenious material was used as a material for the first time. The smooth surface has a mysterious metallic luster or a matte finish.

Rado is equally known for the distinctive and modern design of its watches, making it an important player on the international stage. Exemplary is the "Open Heart" from the True collection with its unique open dial, which won the Red Dot Design Award 2016. Watch lovers appreciate the elegant transition from the case of Rado watches to the bracelet - they are watches as if made of one piece. This also applies to the thinnest watches Rado offers: All models in the True Thinline line, with a height of an incredible 4.9 millimeters, are feather-light, filigree masterpieces of watchmaking. The popular collection is home to exclusive limited editions such as the colorful Le Corbusier watches, designed according to the color theory of the artist and architect of the same name.

A particularly versatile collection is the Rado Diamaster. Ladies will find many a product highlight here, including petite Rado watches set with diamonds for optimal readability. For men, there are beautiful and reliable chronographs or unusual creations with reduced dials and dark colors. For the modern outdoor adventurer, Rado has taken care with the reinterpreted series of their legendary 1962 model, the Captain Cook. For all its visual creativity and innovation, the watchmaker from Switzerland speaks a clear language of form in its Centrix line, launching graceful models with high recognition value. Those who like elegant Rado watches with a touch of vintage will truly enjoy those in the Coupole collection. Artful details and bracelets made of leather, stainless steel, ceramic or metallic Ceramos are a matter of course here as well.
