As Valentine’s Day approaches, so does the annual occasion to embrace love in every corner of the world. Taking the opportunity to do so this year is Rado, with the True Square Open Heart. The watch was designed in recognition and celebration of the precious moments and memories that make up every relationship. With two contrasting, yet complementary models in white and black, Rado is telling a love story via the gift of time.
The True Square Open heart features a square case with rounded corners and softened edges, giving it a delicate and intimate appearance. Measuring 38mm wide, 44.2mm long, and sitting at 9.7mm high on the wrist, it is a versatile and comfortable-wearing watch for a variety of wrist sizes. Rado is offering the timepiece in two colorways, with each sporting a high-tech ceramic case with monobloc construction in its respective color. On the reverse is a sandblasted titanium case back with either white or black PVD coating and sapphire crystal.
The centerpiece of this design is a romantic skeletonized dial that reveals the beating heart of the watch. For the white version, gold-colored details and sparkling diamond indices bring the dial to life, while the black example is adorned with brilliant rose gold-colored indices and hands with high-tech black ceramic accents. Rado chose this open-worked design specifically to highlight the vitality of the watch, evocative of a love-struck racing heart.
The beating heart revealed by the delicate skeleton dial is the R734 automatic caliber. It boasts a gentle oscillation of the balance spring complemented by the melodic click of the gears moving within. The mechanism offers an extended power reserve of 80 hours, ensuring that the True Square Open Heart is viable even if it has been set down for a while.
The Rado True Square Open Heart with a polished white case (ref. R27073702) retails for $3,050 while the version with a polished black case (ref. R27086162) retails for $2,550.
