“It is a factor of our existence.”

“It is a factor of our existence.”

Think about it: what’s the first thing that catches your eye when you look at a watch? Most people, regardless of their own connections to watches, will start with “the colour”. It makes sense. Le Corbusier himself said, “Colour is an incredibly effective triggering tool. It is a factor of our existence.”
And it is these colours, along with future-forward design, cutting-edge materials, and world-class watchmaking finesse, that define the watches in the Rado True Square Thinline Les Couleurs™ Le Corbusier line. It also marks the first time Rado has combined colourful ceramic elements in a single timepiece. Let’s meet your next watch.

“It is a factor of our existence.”

There are three eye-catching interpretations in the new line. Each one offers the quality and performance that defines every Rado watch. And as you would expect, the brand lives up to its reputation as Master of Materials. What sets these watches apart from all others is their bold but subtle combination of seductive, understated colours.

The Father of Modernism

We hope you’ll forgive us just a bit of namedropping. Le Corbusier was one of the most inspiring of all modern architects and designers. His work is considered groundbreaking, innovative, and highly influential in the fields of architecture, design, and urban planning. Born in the heart of Swiss watchmaking country in 1887, he was a visionary architect who played a crucial role in shaping the modernist movement in the 20th century.

But he is also fondly remembered for his transcendent theory of colour which, in time, led to the development of an enduring Architectural Polychromy. Le Corbusier created a palette of 63 shades introduced in 1931 and extended in 1959. The great designer identified them as “architectural, naturally harmonious and able to be combined in any way.” And nearly 90 years after he first introduced the colours, they are as relevant as they have ever been. Today, Les Couleurs Suisse SA has the exclusive responsibility, under the auspices of the Fondation Le Corbusier, to license the colours.
