Five special editions of Rado's True Square ceramic watch

Dezeen promotion: Swiss watch brand Rado has teamed up with designers around the world to create special editions of its True Square watch. Here we round up five of them.

Rado's automatic True Square watch is made from the company's signature high-tech ceramic material.

The rounded square case and bracelet are both made from the material using injection moulding to create a distinctive, durable watch with a warm, sensual feel against the wearer's skin.

Rado has worked with a host of different designers around the world to create special editions of its True Square watch.

The brand teamed up with British designer Tej Chauhan, Italian design studio Formafantasma, Japanese studio YOY, and Indian artists Thukral and Tagra to create watches that were unveiled last year through a series of videos and talks during Rado Design Week, a week-long collaboration between Dezeen and Rado.

This year, the brand worked with Chinese graphic designer Yuan Youmin to create a special edition True Square watch that was unveiled at Design Shanghai.

Read on to find out more about the five watches.

True Square Tej Chauhan

British designer Tej Chauhan played with pop-culture visions of the future to create this sci-fi-inspired version of the True Square watch.

Chauhan took inspiration from movies like A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner and Moon to develop this design language. This is most apparent in the watch face, where silver-coloured concentric circles and blue indexes create a visually intricate display.

True Square Formafantasma

Italian design duo Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin of Formafantasma referenced the closed pocket watches of centuries past for their collaboration with Rado.

The minimal True Square Formafantasma timepiece features a small opening on the front to tell the time, reviving a design feature of many traditional pocket watches, which feature a small window on the front of the case so the time can be viewed without opening it.

True Square Undigital

Tokyo-based designers Naoki Ono and Yuki Yamamoto of studio YOY created a watch that is analogue in function but has the appearance of a digital watch.

The hands of the watch include white bars usually seen in the seven-segment displays of digital watches. The bright white hands against the black watch face create a bold aesthetic akin to the designs that dominated digital watch design in the 1980s.

True Square Over The Abyss

Indian artists Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra created a True Square watch called Over the Abyss, which features multiple overlapping colourful hands.

The watch shows the local time superimposed on a range of their time zones via 18 different hour hands and 19 minute hands. The back of the watch features an artwork by the designers that resembles a pixellated video game.

True Square True Heart

Chinese graphic designer Yuan Youmin drew from a traditional Chinese measuring instrument called a steelyard to create this watch.

Steelyards work by using a sliding counterweight to counterbalance the load of an object placed in a tray at the end of a rod to indicate its weight. The watch has gold hour markings that were informed by the dot graduation marks on a steelyard rod.

Yuan Youmin "brings Chinese culture together with minimalist design" to create True Square watch for Rado

Designer Yuan Youmin explains how he created a special edition of Rado's True Square watch by drawing from traditional Chinese measuring instruments in this video produced by Dezeen for the Swiss watch brand.

Yuan drew inspiration from a traditional measuring device called a steelyard to design the watch for Rado, which is called Rado True Square True Heart.

Steelyards work by using a sliding counterweight to counterbalance the load of an object placed in a tray at the end of a rod to indicate its weight.

"Steelyards have been anchored into Chinese life for almost two thousand years," Yuan explained in the video, which Dezeen filmed at his studio in Hangzhou.

"They consist of a graduated measuring rod, a weighing tray and a movable counterweight."

Yuan took the dot graduation marks on a Chinese steelyard rod and used these as the basis for the hour markings on the timepiece.

"I used the dot graduation marked on the beam of a steelyard as a motif for the watch," he explained.

"The lever arms of the scales become the slender watch hands, the round dial represents the weighing tray."

The markings on the watch face are gold coloured. The back of the watch case features the representation of a phoenix.

"On the back of the watch case is an image of a phoenix, which symbolises rebirth of traditional elements," said Yuan.

Like all True Square watches, Yuan's watch for Rado is produced using the Swiss brand's injection-moulding technology and signature ceramic material.

"The watch is made from Rado's high-tech ceramic material, which is lightweight, scratch-resistant and pleasant to touch," said Yuan.

"The importance of craftsmanship is what unites ancient Chinese culture with the precision of Swiss watchmaking."

Rado has collaborated with a wide range of designers around the world to create special editions of its True Square watch.

Previous special editions include watches by designers Thukral and Tagra, Tej Chauhan, Formafantasma and YOY.

Yuan is a graphic designer, lecturer and curator based in Hangzhou, China. He runs a design agency called STUDIO0909 and is a professor at the China Academy of Art.

Yuan believes that the strength of his design lies in the rich history that inspired it.

"The watch brings together thousands of years of Chinese culture with contemporary minimalist design to create a sophisticated timepiece that combines different cultures and epochs," he said.
