Rado Swiss Radar True Thinline High-Tech Ceramic X Kobe Special Edition
Paying tribute to avant-garde vision of Modernist master Le Corbusier
Bold, captivating, and timeless. These three words aptly describe the pioneering and distinctive architectural style of design pioneer Le Corbusier. Today, the same words are applied to the new special edition by Rado Swiss Radar, as it precisely captures his design essence. This new series is the latest result of Rado’s long-term collaboration with Les Couleurs Suisse®. For Rado, the "Master of Materials," Le Corbusier's bold design techniques, use of modern materials, and distinctive iconic colors resonate deeply with the brand’s watchmaking philosophy and spirit of innovation. The three new True Thinline watches pay tribute to Le Corbusier's outstanding contributions to modern architecture—concepts that laid the foundation for the later Brutalist style. Each piece draws inspiration from his grand classic architecture.

The watches in this series pay homage to the La Cité Radieuse in Marseille, completed in 1952, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and his forward-thinking urban blueprint for Chandigarh, India. The dials of the watches in this series represent architectural exterior details in an abstract form, incorporating four color codes from the 'Polychromie Architecturale'.

The backs of the three watches feature 63 color bands, symbolizing the complete color spectrum of 'Architectural Polychromy'. The bands encircle the center automatic mechanical movement, whose operational details are visible through a central sapphire crystal glass adorned with the Le Corbusier logo. When worn, the high-tech ceramic offers an almost gravity-defying lightness and skin-friendly comfort; its nearly scratch-resistant nature provides unmatched durability, akin to Le Corbusier's favored concrete. The series is equipped with an automatic winding movement, with a power reserve of up to 80 hours and water resistance up to 50 meters, adding impressive practicality to the watches. This architecture-inspired collection weaves together the visions of the Father of Modernism and Rado, the "Master of Materials," composing a new and intriguing chapter in Swiss design aesthetics.
