Rolex was the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, who founded a watch company in 1905 in London. It wasn’t until 1920 that the company moved to Geneva and the Rolex name was registered. The brand gained its popularity by producing the first water and dust proof watch, known as the Oyster. Since then the brand has patented many inventions that are essential to modern timepieces, such as the perpetual movement with a self-winding rotor, an invention found in every automatic timepiece. Many Rolex time pieces have gained a high popularity among collectors and are very sought after today. Size and weight may deviate from the manufacturer’s indication. All watches are hand-measured and weighed.
