<h2>Brand Heritage & Innovations</h2>
<p>Founded in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland as Schlup & Co., the Rado brand debuted in 1957 with the Green Horse and the DiaStar in 1962—the world’s first scratch‑proof watch made with tungsten carbide and sapphire crystal :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.</p>
<p>In the 1980s and ’90s, Rado led in high‑tech ceramics: the Integral and Ceramica collections were among the first watches with cases and bracelets entirely in zirconium‑oxide ceramic—five times harder than steel and lighter by 25% :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600;">GQ:</span> “Legacy watch reboots often go wrong… Rado preserved the original Golden Horse design perfectly—timeless design and quality.” :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}</p>

<h2>Buying Guide & Authentication</h2>
<ul>
  <li><span style="font-weight:600;">Material verification:</span> Rado’s proprietary plasma ceramic or tungsten‑carbide must be authenticated by texture, colour and feel</li>
  <li><span style="font-weight:600;">Movement check:</span> Confirm ETA automatic or quartz caliber and seek 80‑hour power‑reserve spec on Captain Cook reissues</li>
  <li><span style="font-weight:600;">Condition grading:</span> Inspect bracelet polishing, spinning anchor emblem, dial markers, case edges and bezel integrity</li>
  <li><span style="font-weight:600;">Packaging:</span> Include original box, warranty card, instruction booklet and tags when available</li>
</ul>

<h2>Care & Maintenance Tips</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Watches: regular servicing intervals (approx. every 3–5 years), check spinning anchor as movement indicator; test water resistance before diving</li>
  <li>Material: ceramic is scratch-resistant but brittle—avoid sharp impacts and store carefully</li>
  <li>Bracelet: clean ceramic or steel surfaces gently; avoid ultrasonic cleaning if inlaid diamonds or coatings</li>
