Swiss watch brand Rado has long been known for its use of unconventional, high-tech materials and for pioneering their use in the world of watchmaking. In fact, it’s often said that – at Rado – the complication is on the outside.

The ‘Master of Materials’ label is one of which Rado is incredibly proud, and the quest for innovative combinations of materials continues as it strives to constantly chart new territory.
 
Plasma high-tech ceramic is one such material whose use Rado pioneered and is a form of modern alchemy. The plasma carburising process allows the brand to create scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic with a metallic look without using metal. The colour won’t fade over time. Since it first appeared in 1998, it has become both a mainstay of the collection and inextricably linked with the Rado story - as well as playing a starring role on the case of the new 2018 DiaMaster Petite Seconde Automatic COSC.

Only Rado has thought to combine scratch-resistant and durable plasma high-tech ceramic with a material known for its elasticity: silicon. It is this natural, light and hard-wearing material placed at the heart of the new DiaMaster Petite Seconde in the form of the hairspring that has helped this new model achieve its enviable COSC certification for precision.

The Royal Oak Concept was first unveiled in 2002 as an avant-garde, 30th-anniversary tribute to Audemars Piguet’s legendary octagonal Royal Oak – designed by Gérald Genta as the world’s first luxury watch in stainless steel, with an extremely strong Alacrite 60 case and a dial-less finish, displaying the intricate movement it houses.

​The revolutionary aesthetic lines of this piece can be found throughout the range, where the movement and casing of the various models are created from highly technical materials such as titanium, forged carbon, aluminium or white ceramic.

Limelight Gala is first and foremost an aesthetic that releases time from its linearity and instils the unmistakable curves of absolute femininity.
 
It is also a name: ‘Limelight’, conjuring up flashing camera bulbs and turning the spotlight on Piaget’s expertise; and ‘Gala’, evoking the elegance of festivals and splendid soirées.
 
The brilliantly vibrant Limelight Gala unites watchmaking and jewellery. It epitomises the quintessence of the Piaget style with its gemset case enhanced by two asymmetrical extended lugs, its voluptuous curves highlighted by a bezel set with gently graded brilliant-cut diamonds.
