Since Rado’s humble beginnings in the early 20th century they have made confident strides into watchmaking. The luxury brand has made a name for itself through cutting-edge designs and its use of new and unconventional materials. Years of dedicated research have brought Rado to the culmination of their efforts – the creation of the innovative True Thinline collection in 2011.
The True Thinline collection is characterised by the ultra-thin design of the models. With a thickness of only 5.0 mm, the line introduced to the world a new lightweight and an especially comfortable design. The thinness of the models, however, do not compromise its robustness. In 1990 Rado pioneered what has now become their signature mark, high-tech ceramic. First used in medicine and aeronautics, high-tech ceramics is a unique material to be used in watchmaking, however, it comes with a host of benefits other materials cannot provide. Its structure makes it scratch-resistant and extremely durable, providing ideal protection against any amount of wear and tear.
The composition of the material also means it’s lightweight and very easy to keep on all day long. As it doesn’t include any metals and due to its previous application in the medical field, high-tech ceramics is hypoallergenic. It is gentle and can be worn by anyone with sensitive skin or an allergy to metal. Staying one step ahead of the curve, Rado has also used their knowledge and expertise of this material to introduce several colour and texture variations. In case this line has caught your attention we have included several examples from the distinctive True Thinline collection below
