GENERAL CATALOGUE 2012-2013

From day one, Rado has turned visions into concrete re-alities. Pushing the boundaries of material technology and continually introducing the unexpected to Swiss watchmak-ing, Rado has literally gone from strength to strength. In the words of the company’s founder, “If we can imagine it, we can make it. And if we can make it, we will.” Rado always has and always will stretch the limits of mind and matter to produce unique timepieces.

All Rado watches are a fusion of technology, practicality, and design. The first impressive results of this successful combination were presented in 1962 with the Rado DiaStar, the world’s first scratch-resistant watch. In the 1980s, the Rado pioneering spirit led to the use of high-tech ceramic in watchmaking. Previ-ously used in space craft heat shields and racing cars, it was a significant milestone. Rado also developed the ability to colour this resilient material and to mould it by injection, paving the way for even more innovative designs. And in 2002 the world’s hardest watch was unveiled. The Rado V10K, made using high-tech diamond has a hardness of 10,000 on the Vickers Scale.

Today, the seamless union of technology, practicality and de-sign continues to be fuelled by courage and commitment to creating watches that stand the test of time. Rooted in a herit-age of proven performance, Rado has its eye clearly focused on the future. Rado gains its momentum from the power of research and innovation, audacity and intuition. Nothing gets in the way of Rado’s mission to discover, invent and innovate. The result is always extraordinary watch designs.

Rado materials: advanced technology perfect for design

In search of eternal puritySince its founding, Rado has been driven by a dream: to create a watch with a surface of eternal purity. The brand has con-tinually striven to turn this vision into reality.

High-tech ceramic, the ultimate luxury materialPioneered by Rado in 1986, high-tech ceramic is a light-weight, scratch-resistant material. lt is also hypoallergenic and adjusts to the wearer’s skin temperature, making it extremely comfortable.

CeramosTM , a new dimension in high-tech ceramicCeramosTM is a titanium based high-tech ceramic and metallic alloy. It is light, adjusts quickly to skin temperature, and has a unique metal look which fits perfectly with the sharp, edgy designs produced by Rado.

Hardmetal, revolution at the origin of the mythRado revolutionised the watch industry in 1962 with the Rado DiaStar, the first watch made of hardmetal. Previously used for cutting and drilling tools, hardmetal has a very high level of scratch resistance and is more durable than gold, steel and platinum. Rado harnessed the power of hardmetal to create an iconic watch.

Sapphire crystal, transparency at the service of designRado uses sapphire crystal as a standard material in all its watches. Always innovative, Rado developed different shapes of crystal to fit in with its changing designs.

High-tech diamond, a certified record Creating the hardest watch that ever existed, as pure and eternal as natural diamond, became a reality in 2002 with the Rado V10K, the first watch entirely protected by high-tech diamond. A genuine technological revolution in the service of aesthetic brilliance.

René LiuRené Liu uses her voice to express her talent in two quite dif-ferent ways – through singing and acting. She released suc-cessful solo albums soon after returning home from classical music studies at California State University. Her can-do atti-tude shapes everything she does and her 1994 acting debut led rapidly to a Best Actress Award at the Asia Pacific Movie Festival. Mirroring the Rado pioneering spirit, René Liu is the first Taiwanese actress to win best actress awards in both movie and TV productions. In 2003 she also became one of the very few Chinese actresses to be on the prestigious judging panel of the Venice Film Festival. “Life is time,” she declares.

Renata LitvinovaRenata Litvinova dismisses the widely held belief that time is always working against us. “Time works for me and enriches me. I love all the changes, expectations, suffering, smiles, tears, love, encounters, departures and reunions that time brings.”Her passion for time finds expression in a “three-dimensional” film career, where she excels in the roles of director, screen-writer and performer. Seeing unconventionality as an asset rather than an obstacle, this Russian style icon shares the instinct-driven Rado approach.
