The Rado True Round × Les Couleurs Le Corbusier Special Editions
The Rado True Round × Les Couleurs Le Corbusier Special Editions represent a unique collaboration that transcends mere color application by celebrating the architectural genius of Le Corbusier. Inspired by his significant works, each of the three models incorporates shades from his 63-color system, while also reflecting the textures of the buildings they honor. The watches are crafted from high-tech ceramic and feature a 40mm case with Rado’s automatic caliber R763, offering an 80-hour power reserve. Notably, the dials display engraved patterns that evoke the materials and styles of Le Corbusier's designs. The first model pays tribute to La Cité Radieuse, showcasing a matte ivory white finish, while the second draws inspiration from the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts with a dark iron gray aesthetic. The final model reflects the Palace of Assembly in Chandigarh, India, featuring an ivory black case. Each watch is presented in a commemorative box, priced at €2,750, and features a special case back displaying Le Corbusier’s color spectrum. This trio of watches not only serves as functional timepieces but also tells a rich story of architectural influence and modern design.
