Swiss watchmaker Rado is presenting a quartet of eyecatching timepieces for gents and ladies just in time for the holiday season.

Thanks to their high-tech ceramic construction, these timekeepers offer good looks, scratch resistance, light weight and comfort – a gift with both style and substance, says Rado.

For him, two automatic timepieces from the DiaMaster Power Reserve collection are on offer this gift-giving season. The 43mm wristwatch is crafted in either polished black or plasma high-tech ceramic and features sunray detailing on the dial. The timepiece shines in either black or blue, with the power reserve indicator situated at 9 o' clock.

Diamonds and plasma high-tech ceramic combine to spectacular effect on ladies offerings in the DiaMaster and True families. The 30mm True features 12 diamond indexes that encircle the dial and provide a flash of glamour, while additional beauty and versatility are provided by the deep grey sheen of the plasma high-tech ceramic case and bracelet. The DiaMaster is an opulent option for those who demand more diamonds in their life: It features 49 of the shimmering stones, which form a gleaming off-center ring on the brown dial. An embossed beige calf leather strap fastens the petite 33 mm case to the wrist.
