Where pop art meets high-tech watchmaking

The Rado True Square 'Over the Abyss' automatic is a new design collaboration with award-winning New Delhi pop artist duo Thukral and Tagra. Built around a full ceramic case and bracelet, this ultra-modern timepiece presses on our temporality as individuals and highlights the importance of our connection with others.

The artist duo included their focus on social design to create together with Rado a timepiece with a unique time display that superimposes the local time of the wearer to several time zones of the world, in a nod to the inter-connected global community. These different time zones are symbolized by 37 hands that are painted in a gradation of colours ranging from blue to pink, and looking like enchanting fireworks in the middle of the dial. Two discrete SuperLuminova dots indicate the local time.

The captivating dial with colour strikes is encapsulated by a 38mm matte blue high-tech ceramic case of square shape with gently rounded corners, an homage to Rado’s iconic shape from the 70s and updated for the 21st century. The caseback features a painting by the duo called Dominus Aeries that explores visions from the future with references from the past.
