The wild spontaneity of Nature — its organic, sometimes dramatic forms, textures and colours, have forever kindled human creativity. Nature’s majesty and power over us all has shaped the human psyche through the ages, with that potent mixture of awe and respect that feeds the highest creative process.

Rado’s partnership with Grandi Giardini Italiani, begun in 2017, brought their shared interests neatly together, and provided an excellent opportunity to extend Rado’s True Thinline product into the True Thinline Nature collection.

Showcasing Rado’s mastery of materials, the new line highlighted their superb skill in high-tech ceramics in a variety of shades and colours, to celebrate the Earth and Nature.

Spontaneous and ever-changing, Nature has been sparking human creativity and talent in every field since the beginning of time. When Rado and the Great Gardens of the World organisation started their collaboration, as an opportunity to unite their appreciation of outstanding design and beauty, a whole new range of textures and shapes found their way into Rado’s watchmaking work. Elements from the organic world enhanced the creativity of talented watch designers.

The latest series of timepieces from this inspired collaboration pulls exquisite natural motifs from three quite-different plants into stunningly original dial designs. Each was chosen for the individual timepiece to match the mood and shade of its True Thinline monobloc high-tech ceramic case, in black, white or plasma grey. The plants selected — the Hawaiian Loulu Lelo, the Chilean Araucaria and the Yemeni Dragon Blood Tree — all presently on the endangered species list, bring sensuality and a lovely visual rhythm to the individual designs.

Through the partnership between Rado and Great Gardens of the World, a delightful occasion has arisen, to bring together their shared interest in design, beauty and nature at its best.
