In a captivating marriage of horological excellence and fantasy, a style-steered partnership between Rado and Sarawak-born cosplayer Hakken redefines the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. In delving into Rado’s innovative designs — the Anatom, Captain Cook High Tech Ceramic Skeleton and Diastar Original Skeleton — there are indeed ways in which these timepieces resonate deeply with the transformative art of cosplay.

RADO ANATOM: A LEGACY REIMAGINED

The Rado Anatom seamlessly blends a typical ’80s-era elegance with architectural precision, featuring a sleek, black matte high-tech ceramic bezel and an immaculately sand-blasted black PVD stainless steel middle. Its cylindrical sapphire crystal, refined with bevelled, metallised black edges and an anti-reflective coating, enhances visibility and adds a touch of sophistication. The crown, crafted from the same high-tech ceramic, harmonises with the transparent sapphire crystal case back, offering a glimpse into the watch’s meticulous mechanics.
