Swiss watchmaker introduces adventurous style statement for gents Dubai, UAE, November 13, 2016: Pioneering Swiss watchmaker Rado is beefing up its collection with the HyperChrome 1616, an oversized hypermasculine ode to the spirit of discovery. A reinterpretation of Rado’s vintage Cape Horn collection, the HyperChrome 1616 pays tribute to the 400-year anniversary of the brave discovery of this South American headland. In 1616, two Dutch merchants pushed the limits of exploration with their discovery of Cape Horn, located at the tip of South America in a treacherous sailing route where the Atlantic collides with the Pacific. And now, four hundred years after the discovery of the watch’s namesake, Rado has relaunched its vintage Cape Horn collection - first introduced in the late 60s - with a stylish twist that reflects the brand’s ongoing quest for unprecedented designs and materials. Rugged look, lightweight construction
The HyperChrome 1616 is the latest example of Rado’s boundary-pushing approach. In terms of both form and function, it is an audacious timepiece: Its angular, impossible to overlook case measures 46 mm, and its solid colouring in either black or brown makes it an unmistakable style statement. Where the Rado HyperChrome 1616 truly shines is in its use of light but ultra-durable materials: the case is constructed in the brand’s signature high-tech ceramic, which is five times harder than stainless steel while being only three-fourths its weight. With its rugged look and lightweight construction, the Rado HyperChrome 1616 is a bold and comfortable option for those willing to tread new sartorial ground.
