Rolex, founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, embarked on a journey that would shape the watch industry. Its visionary founder aimed to create timepieces that were not just accurate but also reliable and elegant. In 1910, Rolex became the first watch to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, setting the stage for its commitment to excellence.
In 1926, Rolex introduced the Oyster, the world’s first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch, revolutionizing watchmaking. The Oyster’s hermetically sealed case and patented winding crown became iconic features. In 1931, Rolex unveiled the Perpetual movement with a self-winding rotor, a technological leap that remains the foundation of modern automatic watches.
Rolex’s association with exploration and achievement grew in the 20th century. In 1953, the Oyster Perpetual Submariner was introduced, becoming the archetype of the dive watch. The Rolex GMT-Master, designed for international travelers, debuted the same year.
Through partnerships with adventurers like Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, Rolex solidified its connection with exploration. The Oyster Perpetual Explorer and the Oyster Perpetual Milgauss were born from this spirit of pushing boundaries.
Today, Rolex stands as a symbol of timeless luxury, precision, and innovation, with a legacy rooted in pioneering watchmaking technology and a commitment to enduring design.
