I own a lot of Rado, and I am in the states. Always overlooked for not looking EXACTLY like every other brands offerings. Being an architect, I love the Diastar New Original shape. So organic, so architectural, and the light play is second to none. They are anything but ordinary, and there's nothing worse than ordinary. The guy wearing the watch that didn't follow the heard of sheep, that's the guy I want to have a conversation with.

RADO is a very interesting company because they're more focusing on materials rather than movements. That being said, RADO New Original is my personal favorite!

Most definitely !! I remember my dad owning one gifted by my uncle who was working in Qatar 🇶🇦 back in 1990 . Most of my serious uncles had Rado The originals Gold versions. I remember thinking back then it’s an ugly egg shaped watch it’s only when my father passed away my mum handed me my father’s Rado Diastar Jubile The original in 2004 .. it’s then when I started collecting Rado’s.. After owning over 40 rados I gave gifted sold most now I only have the pieces I wear .. I’ve owned Rolex day date & omega speed master moon watch but Rado has its own feelings Excellent watches ..

I always liked watches but couldn't justify the cost for a big brand until the day I saw it in a jewelry shop window. The Rado Sintra Chronograph. I was mesmerized. I can't explain it but I saw myself in that watch. That was my first "serious" watch after a steady stream of Swatches. It is still in my (modest) collection, still love it and still wonder why this line isn't getting much love from the community.

Hi The Time Teller! Speaking of time... in 1985 I was living in a rooming house and a guy moved in who seemed to me (armchair analyst ha, but of course kept that thought to myself...) a classic case of ADHD. I mean he was so high strung he was about bouncing off the walls, about 25 yrs old. Even his laugh sounded like a machine gun! The rooming house was an old mansion in disrepair. The "landlord" was actually a charitable organization that had a small office on the ground floor. There was also a garage/servants quarters abandoned from yesteryear. So this guy, for no pay, just renting a bedroom sharing the kitchen like all of us... was very hard working all day for no pay. He started raking, pulling up weeds, clearing overgrowth, and transformed the yard nonstop into a very nice space. He also went into the basically abandoned servants house and 4 stall garage and was cleaning and tossing damp moldy stuff left behind by the charitable organizations former residents. He transformed the place and tossed a lot of garbage! He did such a good job some moved in for the warm months and rented it! It became a party house ha! There even was this beautiful old cadilac el dorado from about the late sixties all covered in dust! He saved an old couch left in the alley by an apartment complex dumpster. He took a garden hose and soaked the whole couch down, a white one that long lost its whiteness. He used dish soap. He gradually transformed the whole couch, actually a very nice expensive looking one. He'd for hours jump up and down and squash the soapiness out of it as the couch gradually looked beautiful again. He jumped from every angle and scrubbed to the point of... it made me wonder how extremely intense he could be. So yah, bouncing off the walls and literally bouncing his way not into oblivion but more into a kind of resurrection, a recreation, his own bouncing dance like some master of transformation ha! This old piece of trash looked like it could be in some Sixties retro era museum echoing the Bauhaus movement ha! You could envision "Twiggy" posing on it for the cover of Cosmopolitan ha! He said he kept hearing a rattle in the couch as he'd flip it around to clean it over and over. He decided to find out what the rattle was. It turned out to be a Rado DiaStar watch! I'd never heard of it as I don't know much of anything about watches. He said the little red symbol, once he very first held it, started spinning rapidly around on its own! This is a watch that had no battery. It seemed such a marvelous kind of magical watch, wild and spinning in its own bouncing play with time on some kind of a high ADHD of its own machine gun laughing back at me and my armchair analyst follies -- kind of like a manifestation of who he was! He set the time and it even started working, and spot on, like him ha! He took it to a very wealthy part of the city, to the best jeweler he could think of. They were amazed at what he found. Even other customers came over to take a look. The jeweler said the Rado DiaStar was so elite they didn't even carry them! He said check in some bigger city than Minneapolis and probably a jeweler in Chicago or NYC. I was very happy for him. I don't know what he ever did with it. In a couple of years I moved on. I think the jeweler said it was from the early Sixties. What do you think that watch is worth today, or what it was worth then? What makes that symbol spin around? Is it maybe a self-winding watch? I wonder as that guy was eccentric and seemed to have an altered state of consciousness and hope he wisely found an honest buyer. What makes that little symbol spin around like that! It was a watch lost for who knows, 25 years! Did he maybe go from rags to riches? I ask this now 37 years later ha! Your video transported me into the past! Your title made me click on this video! Thanks for this video. Watches are such amazing pieces of mechanical engineering! I found myself liking to watch what watch restorers do on KZbin. It's relaxing to watch them work and hear them use special terminology and tell about what they are doing, explain what all are watching ha! Your video was fun and timely interesting!

Rado is an odd brand. I don't know how to place them - they are on the same level as Ball, Oris and Longines, in that upper mid-range bracket that is always awkward to define; not true luxury but not just mid-range either. I have a Captain Cook and love it, it's a gem, but I'm not so sure of Rado's other offerings, which seem a bit dull and unimpressive.

I've owned a RADO Centrix Diamonds with a gold and black ceramic wristband since 1999. It has 1 diamond at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions and a sapphire crystal. It's very sleek and classy. The watch case is only slightly thicker than the wristband which gives it a very low profile on your wrist while being eye-catching with its back and yellow gold contrast. The wristband clasp is gold with "RADO" laser engraved on it. It also has calendar movement which is set by the first position on the winding knob. Time is set by pulling the knob to the 2nd position. The only drawback of this watch is it is battery operated rather than kinetic self-winding. It's a stunning watch that gets attention without looking desperate, or gaudy. I also bought a carbon and gold ring, and onyx and gold tie clip and cuff links just to complete the aesthetic with this watch.

[@doki965]

I just got a Rado (The original automatic gold with the bracelet design of gold and black in the middle) from my Dad about a month ago and at first I thought the design was weird and it really screams with how shiny it's gold finish was... To be honest I never heard of Rado before so I didnt know its rich history and the reputation of the brand. I just thought it was just another watch until I looked it up and kinda shookt me to the core on how expensive it actually is and how uniquely built it is... Now I started to appreciate it and it grew on me. I'm just a bit baffled at how underrated this brand is and how little people also know about it (well maybe that it's just where I'm from). I'm also surprised at how brand new the watch that I have because my Dad bought it back in the early 90s when he was starting to be financially better and thought that he would buy it as a success present for himself. Little did he knew tho that he would pass it down to me 20 plus years later!

I really like the Rado True Square Open Heart. I think this will be my next purchase. What does everyone else think?

Really would have liked to hear more about the week/day/date. Seemed so obvious to talk about this unique feature...

I like Rado Diastar steel band and it’s very popular in my hometown

You know, as a traveler, I only saw ads in Asian Malls for RADO. So, I always thought RADO was a Japanese brand. They were always on posters in Malls next to Citizen, Orient, and Tudor. (I did know Tudor was a Western Brand). I always thought of RADO as an expensive Japanese Lux Watch Brand. LOL!
