Inspiration From Le Corbusier’s Definitive Colour Palette

Elegant and colourful, the Rado True Thinline Les Couleurs Le Corbusier is a tribute to the great designer, also known as The Father of Modernism. Considered among the most important architects and creative minds of modern times, Le Corbusier is widely remembered for his ground-breaking theory of colour, which led to the development of the architectural colour palette of 63 colours.

Rado’s affinity with colour dates back to 1986, when it learned that high-tech ceramic is a colour carrier. The fusion of the two design philosophies made way for the creation of high-tech ceramic timepieces with foundation in the Architectural Polychromy colour theory. The new series of nine watches offers strikingly bold, vibrant and expressive watches that are produced in limited editions of 999 pieces per colour.

This stunning range is definitely worth considering when you’re choosing your next daily-wear timepiece
