1. Introduction We are pleased to offer this architecturally striking Rado Garland, a quintessential Swiss-made timepiece from the 1970s. Embodying the bold, experimental design language of the space-age era, this model features a substantial, polished stainless steel "shield" case with sharp geometric facets. The radiant blue-grey sunray dial is accented by polished silver-tone hour markers and the iconic rotating Rado anchor logo at 12 o'clock. A rare and distinctive find, the Garland is a favorite among collectors of mid-century avant-garde horology. 2.
