In 2012, Rado True Thinline adds a new model to its collection of ultra-thin watches. It is a model with a ceramic case coated in silicon nitride, in a limited edition of just 1,000 pieces, a material that is part of the ultra-light ceramic range of the future. Silicon nitride is a compound synthesised through various chemical reaction processes. Due to its high performance, whereby it is used for both thermal and mechanical applications, such as in various car engine components, this dark grey-looking compound is processed to such an extent that it becomes a surface with a satin matt finish, giving the watch an extremely refined look. Another novelty is the introduction of Ceramos rose gold in the Rado Specchio and Rado HyperChrome collections, thus expanding the choice of Ceramos colours. Research and development of revolutionary processes for the introduction of new elements have led to the creation of Ceramos, titanium carbide obtained from the fusion of high-tech ceramics and metal alloys. Ceramos has the same qualities and advantages as high-tech ceramic, enhanced by a metal finish and an attractive design. It is lightweight and adapts easily to skin temperature, also offering the wearer excellent comfort. The high-pressure injection moulding process modifies the composition of the elements, thus forming Ceramos, a unique rose gold-coloured material and thus giving the watch a natural gold lustre.
