Drawing inspiration from their classic designs of the 1960s, the maison have brought to life a series of Rado watches that embody the subtle elegance of that era while incorporating contemporary innovations. The Coupole collection serves as a homage to their early pursuit of precise craftsmanship and functional beauty, resonating with enthusiasts who value timepieces that stand as a testament to tradition and modernity.
Design And Iterations
Central to the Coupole collection is the seamless integration of vintage aesthetics with present-day design elements. The collection showcases the charm of traditional wristwatches, with rounded cases and domed sapphire crystals that subtly echo the architectural inspiration of a cupola. This nuanced design choice is evident across the series, enhancing the watch's readability and offering a refined profile. Combining polished stainless steel cases and expertly applied indices adds a touch of understated luxury. The choice of dials ranges from classic black and silver to champagne hues that seamlessly transition between materials, creating a harmonious look.
The Coupole Classic Automatic, for instance, features a date window at three o'clock, with Rado watches for women and men designed for simplicity, omitting this detail for a more streamlined appearance. The Coupole Classic Automatic Power Reserve elevates the design with an 80-hour power reserve indicator at nine o'clock, ensuring practicality and sophistication. For those seeking more intricate craftsmanship, the Coupole Classic Chronograph adds functionality with horizontally aligned chronograph counters, offering a busier, dynamic aesthetic. Further expanding the range, Rado have included an open-heart variant, revealing the intricacies of its automatic movement, appealing to those who appreciate visible mechanics. Diamond-set versions lend an air of luxury, demonstrating that the Coupole collection is as versatile as it is timeless. Rado’s meticulous approach to watchmaking ensures durability while maintaining a flawless finish, making each Coupole timepiece a reliable companion.
