The launch of Rado’s latest True Square Thinline Les Couleurs Le Corbusier collection features three new designs, limited to 999 pieces each, that celebrate the ability of colour to raise spirits and evoke emotions.
Born in the heart of Swiss watchmaking country, Le Corbusier was a visionary architect and designer who had a crucial role in shaping the 20th-century modern movement. He’s also renowned for his transcendent theory of colour (leading to the development of Architectural Polychromy), creating a palette of 63 shades “architectural, naturally harmonious and able to be combined in any way” that after 90 years since he first introduced them, remain as relevant as they’ve ever been.
For this latest collection, Rado (granted licenses to introduce the colours by the Fondation Le Corbusier) has compellingly blended features from its popular True Square and True Thinline families to create three striking timepieces that reflect Rado’s extraordinary design and remarkable materials: high-tech ceramic and sapphire crystal. It also marks the first time Rado has combined colourful ceramic elements in a single timepiece.
There’s also a very special limited edition Collector’s Box featuring a new True Square Thinline Les Couleurs Le Corbusier timepiece in classic black, presented in the joyful company of eight round Thinline Les Couleurs Le Corbusier models from the current collection. This explosive blend of colour, extraordinary design and high-tech materials is limited to 99 pieces. Each of these watches is available individually.
