Rado watches are a part of the Swatch group of watches. In 1917 a company called Schlup & Co. was formed. This company was into producing high quality Swiss movements. The movements were used in Swiss watches made by manufacturers of watches. The Schlup & Company continued to produce the Swiss movements for many years.
