Offering a clear view of the C07 movement with 80-hour power reserve through the beautifully crafted dial, the True Square Open Heart is a sight to behold and one that is not easily forgotten. In fact, it’s the only square, high-tech ceramic watch with a skeletonised dial you’ll find.

The square watch has long been an iconic look closely associated with Rado, but it appears for the first time in 2020 in an injected monobloc high-tech ceramic case. Three new ‘open heart’ watches are presented in signature Rado glossy black, gleaming white and pioneering plasma.

It’s like looking back into our glorious past but with technology and high-tech materials that could only be produced in the 21st century. 80 hours of power reserve make this a practical watch with staying power beyond its striking good looks.

The futuristic flavour doesn’t end there! The monobloc case with its gently rounded corners is both enduring and a truly modern, comfortable, ergonomic shape found in every aspect of everyday life. But a focus on the future doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten tradition and emotion.

The movement and movement holder feature some of the best-loved traditional watchmakers’ decorations and the jewels that reduce friction are there for all to see.

Being able to see the movement is a unique experience for watch enthusiasts, who can lose hours fascinated by the precise movement, the coiling and uncoiling of the balance spring, the gentle click of the cogs and wheels all turning in microscale.

It’s a great reminder that time is truly precious. Black and plasma keep it understated while white goes all out with the addition of 12 twinkling diamonds for indexes.

Excalibur Huracán in total-black mode

Geneva watchmaker Roger Dubuis prides itself on being born to be wild. Demonstrating its penchant for excess, and thanks to an integrated Manufacture enabling total independence, the brand that dares to be different has in recent years drawn inspiration from multiple sources. First and foremost, from its own disruptive design ability and unparalleled expertise in the field of Grand Complications. And secondly, from other equally no-holds-barred industries, a commitment to passionate performance and a flagrant disregard for any form of limit.

This has been exemplified in recent years by the founding of iconic partnerships including a throbbing, adrenalin-fuelled Raging Mechanics alliance with car designer and manufacturer, Lamborghini Squadra Corse. The outcome is a line-up of code-breaking timepieces designed for an exclusive tribe on the prowl for off-the-radar experiences.

Firing on all (black) cylinders

Superwatch fans can gear up for a powerful example of what happens when visionary engineers meet incredible watchmakers with the launch of the total-black Excalibur Huracán: a striking expression of unfettered style and technical excellence.

Powered by an automatic RD630 calibre, and flaunting the same blend of performance, lightness, and security as its namesake, the 45-mm diameter Excalibur Huracán timepiece features a 12° angled balance wheel representing the movement signature associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse.

Adding to its speedster allure is a 360° oscillating weight inspired by and reproducing the same kind of speed effect as a Huracán wheel; while the upper calibre features a strut-bar design bridge reminiscent of those found on the V10 engine of the Lamborghini Huracán supercar itself.

With a black DLC titanium case and bezel, the new all-black Excalibur Huracán model oozes stylish muscle and vroom of the kind of which Roger Dubuis is the uncontested specialist.
