True Square Thinline
OWN THE NIGHT WITH RADO
With devilishly deep hues, a polished finish and confident pops of colour, the three new editions of the Rado True Square Thinline evoke the allure and excitement of the city after dark. The sights, sounds and energy of our urban playgrounds at nightfall demand something suitably seductive. The minimalist
aesthetic of these timepieces, combined with their sleek dimensions and square shape – unmistakably Rado – is guaranteed to stir the senses of night owls everywhere.
The world’s best-known Master of Materials channels a dusk-till-dawn vibe with a polished high-tech ceramic monobloc case and crown, presented on a matching ceramic bracelet. This lustrous finish literally reflects the light and movement of the evening, when the city feels most alive. Wrists will shimmer amid the dazzle of passing traffic, beneath the glow of billboards and against the frenzy of flashbulbs on opening night.
Each one of these iconic watches makes a bold visual statement. And they’re multi-faceted too. Depending on the nocturnal environment, they can convey pure glamour, elegance and poise. But they will also look perfectly at home in more hedonistic surroundings, projecting a sense of mischief. After all, on the best nights out, anything can happen.
The way they look is just one side of the story. As the latest additions to a family that unites features from Rado’s popular True Square and Thinline families, they also embody 21st-century watchmaking finesse. Those Thinline credentials mean their cases are only 5.0 mm thick. Inside, they are powered by a Rado calibre R420 quartz movement, with 13 jewels, that measures less than a millimetre thick. This pioneering combination, complemented by case dimensions of just 37 x 43.3 mm, represents a true feat of miniature engineering and materials expertise.
In black, the Rado True Square Thinline is innately stylish. Its sinuous design is beautifully finessed and feels smooth against the skin. Up close, nuanced details come into focus through its flat sapphire crystal, with the tone-on-tone subtlety of a sun-brushed black dial and black printed indexes. Then, that hit of colour: lacquered hands come in a choice of either turquoise or sun orange, with a printed Rado logo to match. That high-contrast appearance – like bright lights in the cityscape – sends a powerful message: the wearer undeniably owns the night.
Also making its debut is a Rado True Square Thinline in an opulent shade of dark green. Its case and crown are again formed from high-tech monobloc ceramic, and similarly complemented by a matching bracelet. The richness of the colour, along with its polished finish, gives the piece an almost iridescent
quality that catches the eye and holds the attention. This time, it is paired with a dial of green mother-ofpearl, lending additional visual depth alongside tone-on-tone green printed indexes. Lacquered hands in yellow and a matching printed Rado logo inject vibrant contrast.
For all three pieces, a titanium case back and three-fold clasp complete the look, and water-resistance to three bar (30m) ensures these pieces are practical companions – no need to worry if you’re caught in a rainstorm.
These new versions of the Rado True Square Thinline exude contemporary style and sophistication, but they also have been created for a world where fashion happily co-exists with comfort. Their chameleonlike styling and practicality ensures they are the perfect partner during nights out in the concrete jungle, ready for wherever the evening leads.
