Rado True Square Open Heart
ELEGANCE AND GLAMOUR LIGHT UP TRUE SQUARE OPEN HEART
Rado takes to the runway again with two glamourous True Square Open Heart models. Brilliant diamonds, sparkling cut-away dials and the soft, gentle glimmer of polished white and plasma high-tech ceramic lend expressive elegance to a charismatic self-assured style. The seductive lighting of an haute-couture catwalk falls on 12 diamond indices and a scintillating, diamond-dust-like dial, adding a layer of warmth and radiance that makes the watch feel both luxurious and celebratory.
The Open Heart dial
Innovative by design, the skeleton dial isn't just visually arresting. It’s an open-hearted invitation to create an enduring emotional connection to your watch – to enjoy the living, pulsing mechanics of time.
Innovation continues
The new dials were developed using a unique electro-forming process that produces a uniform diamondpowder effect. This process also permits the Rado logo, markings and minute tracks to rise in striking relief from the base of the dial, the end result of galvanic growth. The resulting textured profile lends added distinction to an iconic design.
Two captivating styles
Crafted for essential elegance, the True Square Open Heart models merge slinky link bracelets with iconic square cases, both fashioned in Rado's signature high-tech ceramic, renowned for its lightweight comfort and scratch-resistant surface. The two models offer a choice of refined aesthetics: The white edition presents a white high-tech ceramic case, crown and bracelet and a white flange surrounding the dial. A low-relief minute track flanks rose gold-coloured hour and minute hands with Super-LumiNova® highlighting and a rose gold-coloured second hand. Alternatively, in polished plasma high-tech ceramic, the sparkling dial's yellow goldcoloured hands are framed by a sleek grey flange and a minute track raised in galvanic relief.
Both versions are powered by the Rado calibre R734, a 25-jewel, 3-hand automatic movement with antimagnetic NivachronTM hairspring and an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Assured reliability and Swissmade precision combine to form a trusted companion for both everyday and exceptional occasions.
Haute-couture glamour
Iconic design, innovative technology and the allure of high-fashion style place irresistible charm on the wrist of anyone with confidence and character. Worn with studied nonchalance, the True Square Open Heart becomes a fascinating addition to an effortlessly empowered elegance and haute-couture glamour.
About High-Tech Ceramic
High-tech ceramic truly embodies Rado’s experience and status as Master of Materials. Not only is it a material of astonishing durability, with remarkable scratch-resistant characteristics, but it is also beautifully light and silky to touch, with the ability to quickly match a wearer’s body temperature, so it feels like an extension of themselves. That's why we say, ‘Feel it!’
High-tech ceramic was first introduced by Rado in 1986 following extensive research and development, and can only be produced under exacting conditions. The process starts with extremely pure and finely calibrated mineral powders of zirconium oxide, which are mixed with a specially developed plastic carrier medium and injected into precision moulds at pressures of around 1,000 bar. The moulds are baked, then allowed to cool and the plastic carrier agent dissolved chemically. The ceramic forms are then heated again, this time to 1,450°C. This precisely controlled sintering stage causes powdered particles to fuse together, resulting in a density and hardness that far exceeds regular ceramic. The reward is a material that stands at 1,250 on the Vickers scale and which can be machined and finished, using diamond tools, ready to be assembled into a Rado timepiece.
Rado’s pioneering plasma high-tech ceramic combines the qualities of high-tech ceramic with the unique shine of metal – without using metal. This unique process enriches completely finished white high-tech ceramic elements with carbon, giving them a metallic finish. They can have a polished, brushed or matt surface, which allows for a wide variety of looks. Such a complex material requires all the ingenuity that led to the development of high-tech ceramic along with some essential extra steps.
