Going retro....

One of the brands I really like for the longest time is actually Rado but I never got any watches from the brand. And from the brand, the watch I like most is the DiaStar that Rado released in 1962. 

Anyway on the last holiday, I was at Pavilion Mall in Kuala Lumour for the IWC Exhibition when I walk passed this store. 

It was the Rado Boutique. I was really tempted to see what they had and when I saw these in the shop window...

These watches is part of Rado new Original DiaStar XL Collection. The watches in the collection that I was interested were these...

Anyway I went in and had to try the watches ...

Closer view of the black dial version. I like how the light falls on the faceted crystal. 

This is the Limited Edition version in the new collection. It is a run of 1,962 pieces. :)

Tempting? yes indeed....

Rado HyperChrome Touch Dual Time Watch

The HyperChrome Touch Dual Timer is the first ceramic touch watch with two time zones. It displays one on the main dial and the second on a smaller one at 6 o’clock. The magic of touch lets you change the time with just the sweep of a finger or even swap the time zones and watch the hours and minutes fly by.

This year Rado also introduces brand new grey high-tech ceramic. This material has the same properties as black or white high-tech ceramic but in a cool grey colour, which is difficult to reproduce consistently. But thanks to Rado’s high-tech ceramic know-how they have achieved to recreate only one shade of grey.

Travel in style.

The watch is also available in the following guises.
