The Incredible Story Behind the Rolex Watches

Rolex's history dates back to the 19th century when its founder and visionary Hans Wilsdorf started a company in London specializing in the timepieces. At that time, wristwatches were not prominent, and only wall clocks were purchased. To convince the general public about his innovative timepieces, he equipped these wristwatches with the precise movements manufactured by the Swiss Watch manufacturing company.

Hans Wilsdorf wanted that his watch must possess exceptional dials and looks graceful when worn. Even he liked that the name must be more comfortable enough to be spelled by the people. In 1910, Rolex started with its journey with a special focus done on chronometric precision. The watchmaking company first concentrated on the watch movements and became the first wristwatch to get the 'Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision.' The Official Watch Rating Centre awarded it in Bienne. In 1914, Rolex received an 'A' precision certificate from Kew Observatory in Great Britain, and this watch movement has been preserved for the marine chronometers.

Montres Rolex S.A. got registered in Geneva in 1920 as an internationally renowned watchmaking company. In 1953, the company started manufacturing the pioneer watches that can be used for many professional activities like mountain climbing, deep-sea diving, aviation, and scientific exploration. These watches came to be known as the 'watches of achievers.' After that, the explorer watches like Oyster Perpetual, The Submariner, Day-Date watches in 1953 made it to the shelves. Even their magnitude watch 'The Oyster Perpetual Milgauss' earned its reputation among the scientific community for being the perfect watch having a magnetic shield.

In 1957, Rolex rolled the first-ever watch version for ladies, namely 'Lady-Datejust.' Until 1967, Rolex rolled out many watches that now fall into the category of vintage watches to suit the requirements of its customers globally.
