Rado True Thinline Les CouleursTM Le Corbusier, developed in collaboration with Les Couleurs SuisseTM, brings colours of Summer to your wrist in timeless design-savvy hues.
Nine brilliant shades form the Rado True Thinline Les CouleursTM Le Corbusier, a ceramic watch collection developed in collaboration with Les Couleurs SuisseTM – timeless design-savvy hues suitable for all situations and personalities.
As Corbusier put it, “Colour is an incredibly effective triggering tool. Colour is a factor of our existence.” And, this is exactly what the colours achieve. They look simple enough but are super complex to achieve; the material is extremely resilient and scratch resistant, yet the watch is soft to touch.
You can choose from Cream white which offers balanced, with stable aesthetics; Pale sienna that evokes the sandy, discreet and stable hues; Luminous pink that is offers a colour rush; Slightly greyed English green that offers elegance; Sunshine yellow that shines bright with good light; Powerful orange that draws out saturated and energetic, energy, unfolding bold effects; Spectacular ultramarine; Grey brown natural umber; and Iron grey, the darkest shade in the collection. Whatever you choose, is a reflection of you!
About the Collaboration
Today Les Couleurs Suisse is exclusively mandated by the Fondation Le Corbusier to license the great designer’s original palette of architectural colours, the Architectural Polychromy. This dynamic colour system with a total of 63 colours, developed by the father of modernism and international design and style in 1931 and 1959, is to this day considered the ultimate system for colouring architecture and interiors. As both Rado and Corbusier are considered masters of materials, it makes sense that Rado has introduced Corbusier’s colours in ceramics. This is no mean feat, given the extremely difficult process of colouring ceramics. After years of experimenting, Rado was able to include them in the True Thinline series. This collection of watches is also the embodiment of another pioneering aspect of ceramic timepieces: injection moulding, a recent development pioneered by Rado.
