Rado Florence Automatic

The Rado Florence collection embodies a tribute to the elegance and historical depth of its namesake, the Italian city renowned for its Renaissance splendour. This collection reflects the timeless architectural marvels of Florence, such as the intricate domes of Santa Maria del Fiore and the stately columns of the Loggia dei Lanzi, all seamlessly integrated into the aesthetic of these Swiss-made timepieces. Rado’s commitment to innovation and precision finds perfect harmony in the Florence collection, marrying the brand’s heritage watchmaking with a design ethos that mirrors the grace and refinement of one of Italy’s most historic cities.

Timeless Craftsmanship Echoing Florence’s Renaissance Grandeur

The collection is distinguished by its harmonious, classic round case, which captures the essence of architectural balance. This form is a homage to the soft, circular lines found in Florence’s Renaissance masterpieces. Each timepiece in the collection embodies simplicity and elegance, with a dial layout that promotes legibility and an uncluttered appearance. Baton-shaped hands glide gracefully over the dial, evoking the city’s measured pace and cultural richness. Select models feature diamond index markers at strategic points — the third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth hours and the iconic “Jubilé” signature often accompanies these details.

The collection spans various iterations with the Florence Classic model staying true to its name with a traditional quartz movement, edge-to-edge metallised sapphire crystal, and rhodium-plated hands. The Florence Diamonds further elevates this design by incorporating full-cut diamonds that add a subtle, refined sparkle. The diamonds, thoughtfully placed at the cardinal hours, catch the light, reminiscent of how the evening sun highlights Florence’s historic façades. In some models, a date window is positioned at the six o'clock marker, adding a practical element without compromising the dial’s minimalist appeal. Rado’s Florence collection does more than tell time by evoking a journey through one of Europe’s most inspiring cities, where art, culture, and architecture coalesce.
