Story & Heritage
Founded in Switzerland in 1917, Rado has established itself as one of the most innovative names in modern watchmaking, particularly recognised for its pioneering use of advanced materials.
While many traditional Swiss watchmakers concentrated primarily on mechanical complexity, Rado developed a distinctive identity through material innovation, durability and contemporary design.

During the second half of the twentieth century, the brand became internationally recognised for introducing scratch-resistant materials and experimenting with unconventional watch construction.
The development of high-tech ceramic watches represented an important milestone in Rado's history.
High-tech ceramic offered a unique combination of lightness, hardness, polished elegance and exceptional resistance to everyday surface wear, helping establish Rado as a pioneer in modern watch design.

The Jubilé collection introduced a more jewellery-inspired interpretation of the brand's distinctive aesthetic, combining polished ceramic surfaces with diamond accents and elegant gold-tone detailing.
This rectangular Rado Jubilé beautifully captures that design philosophy.

The deep black ceramic creates a dramatic visual contrast with the sparkling stones and gold-tone elements, while the integrated bracelet gives the watch a harmonious, architectural appearance.
Unlike conventional round watches, the rectangular silhouette provides a refined and distinctive presence on the wrist.
The minimalist dial, carefully positioned diamond markers and decorative stone-set case edges reflect the combination of precision watchmaking and jewellery aesthetics that defines the Jubilé collection.
Today, vintage Rado ceramic watches remain appreciated for their distinctive design, innovative materials and unmistakable visual identity.
A sophisticated vintage Swiss timepiece that combines technological innovation, elegant proportions and timeless black-and-gold styling.
