Rado and Innovative Materials
Rado were using materials new to horology before everyone else. The DiaStar 1 was the brand’s first scratch-resistant watch and one of the first in the industry. From coloured ceramics to collaborations with famous designers, Rado are synonymous with quality, excellence and innovation. The materials used by the Swiss watchmaker include:
High-Tech Ceramics – Rado have been experimenting with this material for almost thirty years, and all of the pieces that utilise it are a combination of art and craftsmanship. Their high-tech ceramics are lightweight and hypoallergenic, as well as sturdy and durable. Comfortable for everyone, even people with sensitive skin can wear this signature material.
CeramosTM – A material that is lightweight, hard and innovative, CeramosTM is a unique alloy of high-tech ceramic metal that offers the best of both worlds: the lightness and sturdiness of ceramic with the lustre of metal.
High-Tech Diamond – After years of research and the use of cutting-edge nanotechnology, Rado released the V10K watch, which is made from a material as hard as natural diamond. This high-tech diamond surface allows the watch to achieve a hardness of 10,000 Vickers.
These are just some of the materials Rado are known for developing and working with, but their spirit of innovation drives them to continue creating increasingly innovative, sleek and robust materials.
