 History:


The history of Rolex is closely linked to the name of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf. Born in a city in Bavaria in 1881, he was involved in international business when he was young. At the beginning, he started the business of breeding pearls. At the age of 19, he lived in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and represented a specialized watch manufacturer.
In 1905, he founded his own company called "Wilsdorf and Davis" (Wilsdorf and Davis), a company that mainly sells watches, but he also developed homemade watches.
After the first World War, Rolex moved back to Geneva. Under the impetus of the founders, Rolex continued to innovate, create and perfect itself. It has two research directions: waterproof and automatic.
At 8 o'clock on the morning of July 2, 1908, the founder of Rolex, the German businessman Wellsdorf registered the Rolex trademark in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Since then, a prominent brand in the world watch industry has embarked on its long history. Journey. Rolex's original trademark was a palm with five fingers extending, showing that the product was completely hand-carved. Later, the Rolex trademark gradually evolved into a crown shape, symbolizing its status as a king in the watch industry.
Rolex was outstanding when it came out, and its character was superior. In 1914 and 1915, Rolex watches continued to receive the A-level certificate issued by the British Kew Observatory. This is the highest evaluation of the accuracy of the watch by the famous British Observatory. It is also a world-wide event. This honor has also doubled the value of Rolex. Since then, Rolex has gradually become popular with the image of "accurate" and has been highly regarded by people from all walks of life.
In 1926, the first waterproof and dustproof watch was finally released. This is the famous Oyster watch. The economic crisis of 1929 hit Switzerland, but Rolex was not affected. It invented an automatic winding mechanism during this period, creating a "Perpetual" watch that was later popular.
In 1926, after the end of World War I, Weissdorf created the world's first waterproof and dustproof watch. This is the famous Rolex OYSTER watch, the so-called squat type, which simulates the structure of oysters. And the waterproof device is designed. In 1927, the famous British swimmer, Meredith, wore this waterproof watch across the English Channel. The watch was soaked in the water for 15 hours, and it was still good and good. At that time, the British "Daily Mail" reported that the incident "invented the miracle that is difficult to achieve" is "the greatest success of watchmaking skills." In fact, this event has also become a classic event marketing for Rolex. Since then, the Rolex “蚝” waterproof watch has become famous all over the world.
In 1931, the world's first "PERPETUAL" watch was born in Rolex. The center axis of this watch has a pendulum that can convert the potential energy of the swing into the power of the watch, so there is no need for manual winding. Therefore, it is called "permanent action" table. The advent of the Rolex “Permanent Movement” watch brought a revolution to the watch industry and also became a milestone in the history of watch development.
In 1881, the founder of Rolex, Hans Wellsdorf, was born in a city in Bavaria. When he was young, he showed his ability to do business. When he started, he was involved in the business of breeding pearls. At the age of 19, he lived in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and became an agent of a watchmaking factory. In 1905, he and a British Davis partnered in London to start their own business, called Wilsdorf and Davis, to start a watch sales business and develop homemade watches.
In 1905, Willsdorf discovered with his sensitive eyesight that watches would inevitably replace traditional pocket watches as the mainstream of timing products. Since the traditional bag watch was just beginning to transform into a watch, the method of wearing a new watch was fierce and the watch was not allowed to go. Therefore, Wellsdorf ordered a batch of high-quality movements from Switzerland and installed it in his own hand-designed gold. In the case of silver or silver, these "assembled" watches are very popular with their punctuality.
In 1945, Rolex created the world's first perpetual calendar that can actively convert dates; in 1955, Rolex developed a pilot watch that allows the wearer to accurately time in different time zones; in the same year, Rolex created a diving watch for deep-sea applications. The diving watch can be submerged 100 meters under normal operation; in 1956, a calendar with weekly display function was introduced, and 26 languages ​​were available.
This automatic watch has a oscillating weight that has never been used before on the watch. It has revolutionized the watch industry and is the pioneer of all automatic watches. In 1945, Rolex produced the dated table DateJust, which produced the date and week of the DayDate table in 1956.
