Brand heritage

Rado grew out of the Schlup & Co. movement workshop founded in Lengnau, Switzerland, in 1917, and began selling watches under the Rado name in the 1950s. The brand became known as the "Master of Materials" for pioneering the use of hardmetal, sapphire crystal and, later, high-tech ceramic in watchmaking.

Model history

The Florence was Rado's line of slim, classically styled quartz dress watches, introduced in the 1980s and produced in round and rectangular cases through the 1990s and beyond. In keeping with the brand's emphasis on durability, the collection was fitted with scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and the name remains in the Rado catalogue today.
