24 Dec 2004

Rado has launched the world hardest watch in India - V10K.

The Rado V10K is a watch that comprehensively fulfills all the demands of outstanding design, technological innovation and an elegant timepiece.

V10K stands for Vickers 10,000. Vickers is a scale of hardness used particularly in material technology that determines the hardness of materials by indenting them with a diamond pyramid under a specified load and measuring the size of the impression produced. The scale goes from zero to 10,000 Vickers – the ultimate value that only diamonds attain because only diamonds can scratch all other materials. It is this ultimate value that Rado has taken as a yardstick, which means that only genuine diamond can leave scratches on the upper surface of the Rado V10K.
