Pioneers in the art of Swiss watchmaking and innovation, Rolex has, over the past century, been associated with status and style. From Mountaineers to Divers and Actors; Rolex is a name synonymous with success and society’s most iconic and inspirational personalities.
Founded by the visionary Hans Wilsdorf in the year 1905, the Rolex saga began with one man’s dream of perfecting the wrist watch. Hans’ quest for perfection and spirit of invention led to the creation of the world’s first ever waterproof wristwatch with a perpetual rotor – the Oyster. Ahead of its time, the Oyster was a revolutionary piece that challenged the course of watchmaking history.
The Oyster became the world’s watch of reference for waterproofness, quality and precision. Rolex went on to demonstrate the Oyster’s technical prowess on a global stage through a formidable series of tests. From the young English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze who swam across the English Channel to Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s expedition of Everest; the Oyster defied the depths and altitude proving its resilience to the elements.
After these record breaking feats, Rolex spearheaded the invention of professional watches. These pioneering pieces were especially crafted to accompany their wearers on their every exploration be it deep-sea diving, aviation, mountain climbing or motor sports. Today, Rolex has an assortment of watches that delight connoisseurs and collectors. Each piece is created with an unparalleled attention to detail, each a testament to the brand’s legacy of watchmaking excellence and the Founder’s perpetual love for precision and innovation. Fashioned with the rarest and most precious of materials and gemstones sourced from around the world; there’s truly nothing more distinguished and distinctive in form and functionality.
