Rado True is the round counterpart of Ceramica: the same drive to incorporate the dial within the general case-plus-bracelet structure determines the spirit of the collection. It's about the aerodynamic flow and inclusion rather than sharp angles and intersecting lines; most watches don't even have a place for diamonds – an almost standard addition to the Jubile lines of other departments. In a way, True continues the transformation that began with Sintra: the latter displayed a tendency to round off the squares of Ceramica, the former brings it to a logical conclusion.

The overall softness of design makes the watches suitable for a feminine wrist. Indeed, there's even a heart shape hidden there somewhere, making this line Rado's most open emotionally. Completely white models mark an important shift in brand aesthetic – for the first time the company offers oppositely colored timepieces.

While Sintra, Integral, and Original chronographs aim to accommodate on the dials as much complex information as possible – using subdials and several rings of indexes to achieve this goal – without compromising legibility, True turns this approach on its head. The indexes are reduced to dots, or very short lines (hard to tell), and subdials present disappearing, thin circles; basic flat hands conclude the picture. It's Rado core elements (one dominant color, clean dials) all over again: stripped without regrets or reservations, these watches prove how effective these basic concepts really are.

Several True watches experiment with face configurations. Timers exhibit variously shaped indexes and Arabic numerals, with or without luminous coating, some pieces even appear to flirt with sporty traits. But this is a strictly casual collection where even the few Jubile versions accommodate small diamonds in a quiet understated fashion.

Rado True provides an essential alternative in a generally rectangle oriented watch environment, and introduces that special lightweight quality that can be so difficult to conjure up: charm.
