A striking sculptural façade with dynamic lighting adorns the exterior of the Rado TRX Boutique, appearing to shift and breathe with a gentle glow. The use of bronze creates a sense of continuity with the store’s interior, echoing the sand dunes of its Centrix campaign and paying homage to the ceramic elements at the heart of the brand’s horological masterpieces.
