The Hyperchrome timepiece designed by Swiss maker Rado offers an incredibly lightweight watch thanks to the specifically chosen metals used to construct the frame. The watch emphasizes a barely there feeling when worn that allows consumers to enjoy the watch for its design and aesthetic, without feeling the accessory bogging down their wrist.
Often times luxe watches are made with precious metals that weigh down the accessory, causing the timepiece to feel heavy or bulky. This can easily deter a consumer from wearing the watch, making the Hyperchrome an ideal timepiece to adorn on a daily basis. The watch is made from light minerals including titanium, anodized aluminium and nitride ceramic that give the watch its sleek, minimalistic and featherweight wear.
