Rado unveils its latest True Square Skeleton watch
The Swiss watchmaker presents a new vision of intricate beauty for its True Square collection.
Rado’s True Square collection captures the zeitgeist’s contemporary aesthetic with a nod to the future as described by the motto: “The shape of things to come.” On the back of the previous launches of the True Square and True Square Open Heart, featuring soft-cornered square cases framing sleek and mesmerising dials, the True Square Skeleton is now ushered in by the Swiss watchmaker famed for its mastery of materials and innovative designs.
The three new references are presented in the brand’s signature black, plasma and white monobloc high-tech ceramic with a split-level dial whose cut-away top plate reveals the precisely skeletonised R808 automatic movement. Divvying up the dial into three sections, parallel horizontal lines engage the eye by highlighting geometric harmonies and the key parts of the movement. The upper segment showcases the heart of the watch: the balance and Nivachron™ hairspring while the central part zeroes into the hands, minute wheel bridge and movement jewels; and the bottom division offers a perspective of the barrel linked with the power reserve.
While the black and plasma versions flaunt anthracite coating on the minute wheel bridge and main platine with a nickel-hued bottom dial plate and Côtes de Genève decoration, the white variant features a gold-coloured centre wheel bridge. Rose gold, silver and yellow gold tones embellish the hands and indexes of the black, plasma and white models respectively.
Sapphire crystal on the dial and set within the titanium case back uncover Rado’s new R808 automatic calibre. Featuring an 80-hour power reserve, the movement’s antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring helps to resist shock, temperature fluctuations and magnetic fields. Paired with high-tech ceramic link bracelets in matching shades, the True Square Skeleton is another superb Rado creation that exemplifies exceptional comfort, lightness and beauty.
