Rado Sintra Skeleton Automatic

Hourglass Figure — Tue, 25 May 2010 22:17:46 +0000

The Skeleton Automatic is the latest addition to the Sintra collection by Rado. It’s made of high-tech ceramics and boasts a silken shade of matte black that highlights the golden movements on the dial. It’s a sleek and robust watch but I personally think it’s a bit kitsch and too trendy and not something you can wear beyond one season before it looks dated. $TBA.
