The event was a fantastic opportunity for guests to experience the new collection first hand and to hear the stories behind the watches from Rado experts. Among the new 2018 collection, the watches unveiled at the event were:
The new Rado DiaMaster collection
The new Rado DiaMaster models showcase Rado’s bold approach to design and how the brand succeeds in daring to be different. With pared-down details, and large, openand readable dials, the DiaMaster proudly represent Rado’s minimalist design approach. New models in yellow gold and rose gold coloured Ceramos TM bring a new slimline but scratch-resistant look to the collection; pioneering plasma features on the new COSC certified Petite Seconde models and smoked sapphire crystal makes an appearance on the new automatic edition, which also offers a glimpse of themovement inside.
The Rado Tradition 1965 Auto
Inspired by the original Rado Manhattan from 1965, this new model takes the very best of the vintage timepiece and updates it to suit the preferences of modern wearers. With the look and feel true to the original Manhattan, but with a larger case, more durable materials and super scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, this is Tradition, updated for the 21st century.
Rado HyperChrome Ultra Light
With the brand’s dedication to innovation and to pushing boundaries, the new HyperChrome Ultra Light is everything you’d expect from a Rado, featuring groundbreaking materials, innovative new elements and showstopping design. Presented in two earthy tones, the bronze and brown pieces weigh just 56g but are
obvious heavyweights in the style stakes.
Rado True Thinline Nature collection
Taking the essence of Rado, and blending it with elements of the natural world, the True Thinline Nature collection demonstrates Rado’s supreme ability to create high-tech ceramic colours beautifully and consistently. The vibrant green, earthy brown and tranquil blue of the collection are sure to find a home among watch enthusiasts who love nature and distinctive colours and are looking for an item of long-lasting beauty and quality.
