Rolex

The triumph of wristwatches in the 20th century is inseparably linked to the legendary founder of Rolex, the native Bavarian Hans Wilsdorf. He achieved his first major success in 1926 with the Oyster model, the first waterproof wristwatch. Rolex has always relied on robust and reliable movements, thus surviving the "quartz revolution" and celebrating great successes to this day.

A Rolex Watch would not be so unique and desirable if it were solely the result of extraordinary technical skill. What distinguishes a Rolex above all is the successful combination of cutting-edge technology and an individual life philosophy. The best-known models are: Date, Datejust, Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, Sea Dweller, Yachtmaster, Cellini, and Explorer.
