Rado Taps Bethan Gray to Expand True Thinline Timepiece Family

Swiss watchmaker Rado has collaborated with Bethan Gray to expand its True Thinline family of timepieces. Recognized for her bold experimentations with texture, pattern, and luxurious materials, the award-winning British designer infused the 1,001-piece True Thinline Studs collection with motifs that define her own oeuvre of furnishings. For example, hopscotch-patterned gold studs offset a grained black leather strap—a nod to her Studs coffee table that features like-minded brass detailing around the rim. Such contrasts continue in the marquetry-patterned dial, where 12 pieces of fused metal backdrop Rado’s gilded logo. A golden dial ring and crown set within the matte-black high-tech ceramic monobloc case packs a further visual punch. See more images of the timepiece below.
