Rado is renowned for its avant-garde approach to design and materials, and for leading the way in ceramic watch design. Following last year’s successful introduction of four high-tech ceramic colours to the True Thinline collection, Rado presents the bold True Thinline Bronze.


 Super Ceramics

Rado has been around since 1917, but its heyday began in the swinging sixties when it introduced what it called the world's first scratchproof watch, the DiaStar. In 1986, it added scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic to the bracelet of the Rado Integral (a timepiece that pretty much summed up the stark 1980s aesthetic).

The Sintra, launched in 1993, was the first Rado watch made of cermet, a titanium-based ceramic combined with metal. In 1998 the Ceramica was the first Rado watch chosen to feature patented plasma high-tech ceramic, a fascinating color and material combination that exudes a metallic glow without the use of any metal at all.

This all matters because ceramic is one of the hardest class of materials in the world. While lighter and more scratch resistant than metal, this makes a fussy one to work with. Ceramic is first pressed into the desired shape then baked at an extremely high temperature. After the ceramic is finished cooling, it is milled into the desired shape and polished. Color is created during this heating and cooling process.

Featuring a sparkling bronze dial, curved sapphire crystal and matt brown high-tech ceramic case, the True Thinline Bronze is a celebration of beautiful contrasts. But don’t let its shimmering dial distract you, this coloured ceramic timepiece retains all the benefits of high-tech ceramic.

In addition to being hypoallergenic, it is scratch-resistant. The True Thinline remains, in many ways, the ultimate Rado. Rado’s pioneering development of design and colours proves once again the brand’s mastery of materials.
