At an exclusive Tatler GMT event, Rado revealed new ceramic watches like the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic and Anatom Automatic
In watchmaking, ceramic may be almost as common as steel today but there was a time when the material was considered revolutionary. Credit goes to Rado for paving the way for the scratch-proof and extremely lightweight ceramic to construct its watches.
Rado, in partnership with Tatler GMT, recently conducted an intimate sharing session on its ceramic innovations at its boutique in Suria KLCC. The evening kicked off with a warm welcome by Penny Chong, brand manager of Rado Malaysia. Chong later introduced Christof Ammann, Rado's head of logistics operations, on a video call from the brand's headquarters in Lengnau, Switzerland. During this session, Ammann shared how Rado became an innovator of ceramic watches and the difference between the high-tech ceramic it uses and regular ceramic—for one, the former is significantly more shock-resistant.
