The Rado DiaStar Original X Tej Chauhan Special Edition isn’t your typical watch—it’s a bold, retro-futuristic statement born from a creative collaboration with award-winning industrial designer Tej Chauhan. With its gold-toned Ceramos case, matte black concave dial, and playful bursts of color—including a cyan highlight from 9 to 12 and a rainbow weekday wheel—this watch tells more than time; it tells a story. Powered by Rado’s R764 automatic movement with 80-hour power reserve and Nivachron™ balance spring, it’s as technically impressive as it is visually striking. Finished with a grey rubber strap and thoughtful engravings, this compact 38mm timepiece is a tribute to Rado’s material mastery and Chauhan’s emotive design language—redefining what a watch collaboration can be.

In the ever-evolving world of horology, few individuals embody passion and innovation quite like Serdar Oal, the founder of Horobox. What began as a personal fascination ignited by a single mechanical watch purchase in Italy transformed into one of the world’s most respected digital platforms for watch enthusiasts. Through Horobox, Serdar created more than just a website—he built a global community driven by curiosity, storytelling, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. By embracing digital evolution and championing the artistry behind every timepiece, Serdar has not only shaped watch journalism but also inspired a new generation of collectors to look beyond the dial and discover the stories within.

Trusting a certified watchmaker for your timepiece repairs is essential to preserving its longevity, accuracy, and value. Unlike DIY repairs or uncertified hobbyists, professional watchmakers undergo rigorous training, use specialized tools in controlled environments, and have access to genuine parts. A poorly executed repair—whether through improper lubrication, incorrect assembly, or contamination—can cause irreversible damage, leading to costly fixes. Certified watchmakers adhere to manufacturer standards, ensuring precise servicing with warranties for peace of mind. In the long run, expert care guarantees that your watch remains a reliable companion for years to come.
