Rado Reimagines Le Corbusier’s Modernist Vision With The True Round x Les Couleurs Le Corbusier

Rado translates the revolutionary design philosophy of Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier into a trio of striking timepieces with the True Round x Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® Special Edition. Continuing its collaboration with Les Couleurs Suisse®, the collection celebrates the architect’s pioneering use of colour, material and structure, reflecting his lasting influence on modern architecture and Brutalist design.

Each watch draws inspiration from an iconic project. The first honours La Cité Radieuse in Marseille, featuring a laser-engraved high-tech ceramic dial inspired by raw béton-brut concrete, presented in Ivory White with blue-toned hands. The second references Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, showcasing an Iron Grey dial paired with vibrant coloured hands. The third celebrates Chandigarh’s Capitol Complex, featuring a darker Ivory Black aesthetic with bold accents.

All three models feature high-tech ceramic construction, exceptional scratch resistance, an 80-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 50 metres, combining architectural storytelling with everyday practicality.
