GENERAL CATALOGUE 2012-2013
From day one, Rado has turned visions into concrete realities. Pushing the boundaries of material technology and
continually introducing the unexpected to Swiss watchmaking, Rado has literally gone from strength to strength. In the
words of the company’s founder, “If we can imagine it, we
can make it. And if we can make it, we will.” Rado always
has and always will stretch the limits of mind and matter to
produce unique timepieces.
All Rado watches are a fusion of technology, practicality, and
design.
The first impressive results of this successful combination
were presented in 1962 with the Rado DiaStar, the world’s
first scratch-resistant watch. In the 1980s, the Rado pioneering
spirit led to the use of high-tech ceramic in watchmaking. Previously used in space craft heat shields and racing cars, it was a
significant milestone. Rado also developed the ability to colour
this resilient material and to mould it by injection, paving the
way for even more innovative designs. And in 2002 the world’s
hardest watch was unveiled. The Rado V10K, made using hightech diamond has a hardness of 10,000 on the Vickers Scale.
Today, the seamless union of technology, practicality and design continues to be fuelled by courage and commitment to
creating watches that stand the test of time. Rooted in a heritage of proven performance, Rado has its eye clearly focused
on the future. Rado gains its momentum from the power of
research and innovation, audacity and intuition. Nothing gets
in the way of Rado’s mission to discover, invent and innovate.
The result is always extraordinary watch designs.
Rado materials:
advanced technology perfect for design
In search of eternal purity
Since its founding, Rado has been driven by a dream: to create
a watch with a surface of eternal purity. The brand has continually striven to turn this vision into reality.
High-tech ceramic, the ultimate luxury material
Pioneered by Rado in 1986, high-tech ceramic is a lightweight, scratch-resistant material. lt is also hypoallergenic
and adjusts to the wearer’s skin temperature, making it
extremely comfortable.
CeramosTM , a new dimension in high-tech ceramic
Ceramos TM is a titanium based high-tech ceramic and
metallic alloy. It is light, adjusts quickly to skin temperature,
and has a unique metal look which fits perfectly with the
sharp, edgy designs produced by Rado.
Hardmetal, revolution at the origin of the myth
Rado revolutionised the watch industry in 1962 with the
Rado DiaStar, the first watch made of hardmetal. Previously
used for cutting and drilling tools, hardmetal has a very high
level of scratch resistance and is more durable than gold,
steel and platinum. Rado harnessed the power of hardmetal
to create an iconic watch.
Sapphire crystal, transparency at the service of design
Rado uses sapphire crystal as a standard material in all its
watches. Always innovative, Rado developed different shapes
of crystal to fit in with its changing designs.
High-tech diamond, a certified record
Creating the hardest watch that ever existed, as pure and
eternal as natural diamond, became a reality in 2002 with
the Rado V10K, the first watch entirely protected by high-tech
diamond. A genuine technological revolution in the service of
aesthetic brilliance.

Andy Murray
Britain’s number one tennis player, Andy Murray, currently
ranked third in the world, stands out from the crowd with his
distinctive playing style and unrivalled tactical intelligence.
He is the reigning Olympic men’s singles Champion and current
US Open Champion.
Andy Murray set out on his path to tennis success at the age
of three. Impressive milestones of his junior career included
wins at the prestigious Orange Bowl and US Open Junior
tournaments. His transition to professional status gave Britain
its first teenager in the top 100 for 30 years.
He has won 22 career ATP titles and in 2011 became only the
seventh player since 1968 to reach the semi-finals of all four
Grand Slam tournaments in one year.
Like Andy Murray, Rado has celebrated numerous breakthroughs and world records, from the first scratch-resistant
watch to the hardest timepiece. Andy Murray perfectly
embodies this pioneering strength.

René Liu
René Liu uses her voice to express her talent in two quite different ways – through singing and acting. She released successful solo albums soon after returning home from classical
music studies at California State University. Her can-do attitude shapes everything she does and her 1994 acting debut
led rapidly to a Best Actress Award at the Asia Pacific Movie
Festival.
Mirroring the Rado pioneering spirit, René Liu is the first
Taiwanese actress to win best actress awards in both movie
and TV productions. In 2003 she also became one of the very
few Chinese actresses to be on the prestigious judging panel
of the Venice Film Festival. “Life is time,” she declares.

Lisa Ray
Lisa Ray certainly knows no limits of geography or culture,
being born in Toronto to a Bengali father and Polish mother,
studying in England and going on to live in Paris and India.
When she was growing up, a quiet life in the arts was on the
horizon, until a trip to India at 16 led to her overnight discovery
as a model and her life changed.
Quickly attracting an international following, she moved
elegantly from the catwalk to stage and screen.
With her award-winning acting career she is in demand in
both Hollywood and Bollywood.
Her talent, natural elegance and sense of style, as well as
her adaptability make Lisa Ray a perfect match for Rado.

Renata Litvinova
Renata Litvinova dismisses the widely held belief that time
is always working against us. “Time works for me and enriches
me. I love all the changes, expectations, suffering, smiles, tears,
love, encounters, departures and reunions that time brings.”
Her passion for time finds expression in a “three-dimensional”
film career, where she excels in the roles of director, screenwriter and performer. Seeing unconventionality as an asset
rather than an obstacle, this Russian style icon shares the
instinct-driven Rado approach.
