Rado has launched remarkable timepieces that have contributed to the well-deserved reputation of the brand as manufacturer of extremely progressive watches with unique and functional designs. Regarded as a factory of elegance and style with the release of its remarkable timepieces that approach a very contemporary and modern look, Rado manages to break from tradition and revive the conventional standards of the watch making artistry. With a strong sense of fashion and contemporary artistry, Rado proposes this year a sophisticated collection of watches based on ceramics. The extremely appealing collection goes by the name of r5.5 Collection and it’s a creative manifesto from the part of the Rado’s designers, who have been working with ceramics for over 20 years now.

        The undisputable progressive know-how of the designers from Rado has assured this brand a respectable place in the watch making industry, Rado being a brand acclaimed for its achievements in both design and technical functionality. The new Rado r5.5 Collection represents a statement of trendy timepieces that focus on the idea of a design that’s contemporary and futuristic at the same time. Extremely elegant, the design envisioned by these watches has proven very successful in terms of marketing and the fact that the sales for this collection have reached an unexpected level can only add to the pride of the Rado designers.

        Everybody who has the minimum amount of knowledge in watch manufacturing brands knows who Jasper Morrison is. A designer with vision and amazing talent, Jasper Morrison has made from Rado an internationally recognizable brand due to the distinctive elements of design proposed by him and to the choice of materials employed – ceramics. This Rado r5.5 Collection features watches that are rectangular-shaped and with an all-black design. The finish of the ceramics offers a smooth surface that combines perfectly with the non-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covering the dial and the case.

        The dial of the new Rado r5.5 Collection follows the same minimalist style as the case, being characterized by amazing subtlety. The dial presents luminescent coated detailing for the hour markers and some Arabic numerals, while the hands indicating the main functions are crafted from steel. A function present at some of the watches is the date window located very discreetly at 3 o’clock. All the necessary setting can be performed with the help of the ceramic crown located on the right lateral side of the case, and depending on the model, it can be accompanied by two lateral pushers to adjust other additional functions, like a chronograph-oriented watch.

        The watches included in the Rado r5.5 Collection have the same pattern when referring to the strap, a bracelet crafted from extra light ceramics with interconnected links that are minimizing their size gradually. The bracelet offers extreme flexibility to the wrist and completes beautifully the elegant, modern and all-black design of the watch.
