Rado is proud to welcome Alysha Newman as its newest Friend of the Brand—a partnership that goes far beyond medals and records. Yes, she’s an Olympic pole vaulter and Commonwealth Games champion, but Alysha is also an entrepreneur, philanthropist, fashion lover, and emerging force in the entertainment world. In other words, she embodies everything Rado stands for: resilience, imagination, and a bold, modern take on timeless excellence.
The partnership was recently celebrated at an intimate Rado x Glory Media event in Toronto, honoring young Canadian excellence across disciplines. Hosted by Glory’s Editor-in-Chief Lance Chung, the evening brought together tastemakers, creators, and innovators—culminating in a special moment where we had the ultimate pleasure of sitting down with Alysha Newman. Her energy, authenticity, and inspiring story lit up the room, offering a glimpse into the powerful synergy between Rado and its newest ambassador.
More Than an Athlete
While Alysha’s athletic career is rooted in precision and perseverance—the same values that define Swiss watchmaking—her journey extends well beyond the field. As someone who has faced setbacks and come back stronger, Alysha is living proof that if we can imagine it, we can overcome it. This mindset, shared deeply by Rado, is captured in every watch the brand creates: a balance of design, endurance, and innovation.
Style, Storytelling, and New Frontiers
Off the track, Alysha is exploring new creative avenues. With a strong passion for fashion and storytelling, she is currently developing projects in television and content creation. Her eye for aesthetics and love of self-expression have also led her to a leadership role on the Advisory Board of CANIFFF, the Canadian International Fashion Film Festival. This global platform celebrates the intersection of fashion, film, and innovation, showcasing boundary-pushing creators and narratives. Her involvement reflects the same forward-thinking spirit Rado champions in its design philosophy.
A Timepiece That Reflects Her Drive
At the heart of this collaboration is the Rado Centrix Open Heart (Super Jubilé)—a piece that, much like Alysha, reveals its strength through subtle detail. From its 80-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic Nivachron™ hairspring to its rose-gold PVD case and scratch-resistant white ceramic links, the watch is a masterclass in elegance and performance. Topped with 98 Top Wesselton diamonds and a rotating anchor at 6 o’clock, it’s not just a timepiece—it’s a testament to what’s possible when design dares to dream.
Driven by Purpose
Beyond fashion and sport, Alysha is a committed changemaker. As co-founder of Hyper Talent, an AI-powered platform reshaping athlete career planning, and the upcoming Newman Foundation, focused on mentorship and youth empowerment, she’s helping others realize their potential. It’s a mission that aligns closely with Rado's own commitment to supporting visionaries and pioneers who push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Precision, Passion, and Possibility
Alysha Newman doesn’t just wear a Rado—she lives its values. This partnership celebrates more than accomplishments; it’s about the shared pursuit of impact, creativity, and timeless innovation. Because when strength meets style and vision meets action, the result is something truly extraordinary.
