The vibrant colour, fun and rhythm of the Nineties are etched in everyone's memory. Few places tell that story better than the brightly multicultural city of Berlin, whose heartbeat has brought great inspiration to many of the most creative people in recent decades. Designer Marina Hoermanseder calls it home and is back with her second collaboration with Swiss watchmaker Rado, an exuberant 80-hour-reserve automatic that proudly celebrates the creative pulse she shares with that city, historical hub of diversity and energy.
The new Rado Captain Cook x Marina Hoermanseder Heartbeat is a clear invitation to celebrate all that everyone loves about Berlin's Kreuzberg district and uniqueness in all things.

This unique, new variant of the Captain Cook brings Marina's dance-happy step to the product line, with a rainbow of precious stones, PVD-finished contrasts, that famous box-shaped sapphire crystal and, of course, those unmistakeable Marina Hoermanseder straps. At the centre of the new watch, a very original second hand ticks away the time in stylish playfulness, as both the image of a heartbeat and Marina's own signature. Delightful.

Highlighting that fascinating rhythm that keeps us all alive and its distant cousin, the ultra-precise modern automatic movement, the new watch features a colourful rainbow of eight precious stones and applied indices, to decorate a bright and expressive dial whose surface echoes the white high-tech ceramic insert in its rotating bezel.
