Among horology lovers, few watches evoke such emotions as the high-tech True Square Open Heart model from the luxury Swiss brand Rado.
The ceramic watch with an integrated bracelet successfully combines elegance with a sporty look and creates a unique accessory that should become part of every serious collection. Now you can get your own piece too.
The Rado brand has a unique position in the world of watchmaking. Since its foundation in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland, the company has always focused on innovation and the use of advanced materials. Over the years, it has become synonymous with ceramic watches and technological breakthroughs in scratch-resistant watches.
While most traditional Swiss brands cling to conservative design, Rado has built a reputation for pioneering futuristic design and an unconventional approach to luxury timepiece production. It was this courage to experiment that led the brand to develop the unique ceramic watches that now form the backbone of its range and are sought after by discerning customers around the world.
Rado introduced the True Square collection for the first time in 2020 and has now added two brand new models. These are modelled on the original version and feature an eye-catching 'open heart' dial fitted with a sapphire crystal, but additionally include a 38mm high-tech ceramic case with a titanium caseback, a vertically cut dial with diamond indexes and a comfortable ceramic bracelet with a titanium clasp.
The True Square collection represents the perfect combination of aesthetic purity and technological maturity. The square shape of the case, which is less common in the watchmaking world than the classic round design, gives the Rado True Square watch a distinctive look that cannot be mistaken for any other brand. Inspired by geometric precision , the shape fits perfectly with Rado's minimalist design philosophy.
The Rado True Square Open Heart ceramic watch looks balanced and understated on the wrist. Its square case - with rounded edges and a stylized raised bezel - creates a simple yet highly modern look. Although the geometric design of the True Square Open Heart is similar to many other models with an integrated bracelet, this form is much sleeker and more sophisticated. It makes the combination of artistic craftsmanship and precision of the legendary Swiss brand stand out.
The Rado True Square Open Heart diamond watch is a triumph of minimalist design. In contrast to flashy models overloaded with precious stones, Rado relies on austerity and elegance. Twelve carefully placed diamonds on the dial give the watch a subtle touch of luxury without disturbing its clean lines and modern look. This approach to the use of precious stones is typical of Rado's design philosophy - less is more, and quality always trumps quantity.
The design of the Rado True Square Open Heart ceramic watch is designed with universal wearability in mind. The 38 mm case size represents the ideal compromise between legibility and wearing comfort.
As a result, the watch fits both men and women well and is suitable for both everyday wear and formal occasions. This versatility is one of the key reasons why the Rado ceramic watch has become an icon of modern design.
The high-tech ceramic that Rado has used for the case, crown and bracelet affects the wearing experience in many ways. The most significant is the weight, which is impressively low in the case of this model. The monobloc construction of the ceramic watch is also highly scratch-resistant and, in the case of the grey plasma ceramic model, matches the look of liquid metal in terms of shine. This gives the watch an eye-catching yet still understated look.
At 12 positions, 125/130 Top Wesselton diamonds weighing a total of 0.096 carats are featured as hour indexes , giving the diamond watch a genuine touch of luxury. There are also Super-LumiNova®-coatedhands for perfect visibility in all conditions.
Rado ceramic watches are renowned for their exceptional resistance to everyday wear and tear. Unlike traditional materials such as steel or gold, high-tech ceramic is virtually immune to scratches and retains its original shine for many years. This characteristic makes the Rado True Square Open Heart ceramic watch an ideal choice for active individuals who expect not only elegance but also practicality from their watches.
Wearing comfort is at an exceptional level with Rado ceramic watches. The material is hypoallergenic, does not cause skin irritation even with prolonged wear and adapts to body temperature. In hot weather it remains pleasantly cool, in colder conditions it quickly warms up to body temperature. These features ensure that the Rado True Square Open Heart Ceramic Watch offers unparalleled comfort for all-day wear.
The beat of this automatic watch is provided by the Rado R734 calibre, whose beauty can be admired thanks to the open dial. The movement is fascinating not only for its 80-hour power reserve, but above all for its complexity and innovative components, such as the Nivachron™ flywheel, which is highly resistant to magnetic fields, shocks, ageing and temperature fluctuations. This guarantees extremely high mechanical precision and reliability.
The Rado True Square Open Heart automatic watch is a perfect example of Swiss watchmaking. The Rado R734 combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology and materials. The result is a movement that not only measures time precisely, but also provides a fascinating insight into the intricate choreography of gears, springs and levers.
The open 'heart' of the watch, i.e. the flywheel and self-winding mechanism, provides the owner with a unique experience. Unlike fully skeletonized models, where the amount of detail can be overwhelming, the True Square Open Heart offers a discreet view of the most interesting part of the movement. This design element strikes the perfect balance between the minimalist look and mechanical grace of an automatic watch.
The Rado True Square Open Heart automatic watch is wound with a flick of the wrist, eliminating the need to manually wind or change batteries. This aspect underlines the Rado brand's philosophy of sustainability and durability. Moreover, with an impressive 80-hour power reserve , you can put the watch away for the weekend and find it still running on Monday morning - a practical feature for the demanding lifestyle of modern professionals.
The True Square Open Heart model in plasma high-tech ceramic impresses with the modern design that is characteristic of the Rado brand. Plasma ceramics represent one of the brand's greatest technological triumphs.
In its production, conventional ceramics are exposed to a gaseous mixture at an extremely high temperature (20,000 °C), resulting in a unique change in surface structure. The result is a material with a metallic appearance that retains all the advantages of ceramics - scratch resistance, light weight and hypoallergenic properties.
The sapphire crystal protecting the dial of the Rado True Square Open Heart ceramic watch is another example of the brand's uncompromising approach to quality. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale (a diamond is 10), it is virtually impossible to scratch with normal use. The anti-reflective treatment on both sides ensures perfect legibility in all lighting conditions and eliminates unwanted glare.
The bracelet clasp system combines a titanium clasp with ceramic links, ensuring the watch is securely fastened to the wrist without the risk of accidental release. It also allows easy adjustment of the bracelet length for ultimate comfort. This detail shows how Rado pays attention to even seemingly small aspects of design that greatly affect the daily experience of wearing the watch.
Rado True Square Open Heart models are water resistant to 50 metres (5 bar) and come with a certificate of authenticity for the gemstones. This certificate not only confirms the authenticity and quality of the diamonds used, but also increases the investment value of the watch on the secondary market.
The Rado True Square Open Heart diamond watch represents a thoughtful investment in the future. Unlike electronic devices that quickly become obsolete or fashion accessories whose popularity is fleeting, quality mechanical watches offer long-term value. The combination of Rado's iconic design, high-tech ceramic material and quality diamonds creates a product that will be relevant and desirable decades from now.
At a time when our wrists are surrounded by smartwatches and cheap fashion accessories, the Rado True Square Open Heart ceramic watch is a bold statement of personal style and values. By choosing this automatic watch, you are showing that you appreciate quality craftsmanship, technological innovation and timeless design.
If you're looking for a watch with a unique character, the Rado True Square Open Heart is the perfect choice.
