Through the ingenuity of designers, handicrafts can often burst out surprising visual and usable experiences through the transformation of minimal lines, shapes, and structural proportions. Swiss brand RADO collaborates with Japanese designer Kunihiko Morinaga for the second time after 2017 to launch the new True Square series special edition watch to capture the ethereal and dreamy essence of time.
Designer Kunihiko Morinaga founded his own personal brand ANREALAGE in 2003 and won the New York Gen Art Avant-garde Award in 2005. His chameleon-like clothing design has also served for American pop diva Beyoncé in the “Renaissance” world tour. Dress to spark discussion.
The new co-branded watch is the result of the joint creativity of RADO and Morinaga Kunihiko: the integrated polished black high-tech ceramic case is about 38 mm, completely abandoning the surface of the traditional metal dial, and using the movement power: R734 automatic winding. The gears of the chain movement, the artificial gemstone bearings, and the fish-scale dots on the machine board are clearly polished. At the same time, the rhodium-colored hour and minute hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova®, so they can be seen clearly at night and under low light sources. Reading time.
The coolest thing is that since Kunihiko Morinaga loves to use photochromic technology in clothing design, this technique is also used in watches: the seemingly transparent face plate will instantly “change face” after being exposed to ultraviolet rays. , changing from transparent to almost black texture, quite cool.
