While other brands use conventional materials like gold, brass or steel, Rado goes for materials of the future such as high-tech diamond, high-tech lanthanum, sapphire crystal, hardmetal or high-tech ceramics. And this is always in the endeavour to develop design/material combinations that unite in perfect harmony the double functions of the watch as a modern piece of jewelry and a functional timepiece. The basis for this is provided by the mastery of highly developed leading technologies for the manufacture and processing of the hardest materials in the world.
