Rado True Thinline Deep Web: Flora Miranda for Rado
Shaping our future
Belgian-based Austrian fashion designer Flora Miranda is the latest designer to apply her unique vision to the True Thinline as part of the 2019 Rado Designer Series. The design-led Swiss watchmaker follows the success of its 2017 designer collaborations with a raft of new limited editions and was keen to secure Flora’s participation.

Describing her design work as “extraterrestrial, extravagant, extreme, exclusive and exciting”, her collaboration with Rado was guaranteed to push the boundaries of possibility.

Using her True Thinline as a blank canvas for self-expression, Flora created the dream-like Deep Web. Under the sapphire crystal, two transparent discs sit on top of each other. Each disc has a metallic coloured web pattern. As the discs overlap, an illusion of hands is created. It is a truly futuristic and ethereal approach to telling the time.

Unlike the other models in the series, the Deep Web is powered by an automatic movement, which was required to ensure there is enough momentum to power the overlapping discs that sit under the box-shaped sapphire crystal. As a result, the watch is very slightly bigger than the other watches in the Designer Series.

Speaking about the collaboration with Flora Miranda, Rado CEO Matthias Breschan said: “Flora first came to our attention when she won the Rado Star Prize Austria 2017 We knew her futuristic and disruptive approach to fashion design would take her far.

The balance of light and dark in her design presented technical challenges but we knew that overcoming them to create Deep Web would result in a design that is immediate, compelling and totally timeless in its appeal.”
