Held by many to be the epitome of the luxury watch, the Rolex legend
began to grow in 1926, with the introduction of the "Oyster Case;" the
world's first waterproof Rolex wrist watchhttp://www.awatches.net/watches/rolex.html.
The Rolex watchhttp://www.awatches.net/watches/rolex.html "Perpetual"
was the first automatic winding watch to use a revolutionary rotor.
Rolexes were worn by both Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide
Tensing Norgay as they ascended Everest in 1953. Rolex had the vision
to perfect the wristwatch, while the pocket watch was king. It was the
first Rolex watchhttp://www.awatches.net/watches/rolex.html company to
use advertising.
Today, the Rolex Yachtmaster upholds the Rolex legacy.
Rolex watchhttp://www.awatches.net/watches/rolex.html was started in
1908 by Mr. Hans Wilsdorf, a German National Citizen. At this point in
time, the company was named Wilsdorf & Davis as Wilsdorf founded the
company jointly with his brother in law. During that time period,
mostly pocket watches were being made by Swiss watch makers.
Manufactures at the time had difficulty producing accurate and
reliable movements in wrist watch sizes. Hans Wilsdorf was a
perfectionist who raised the bar on the standards for watch making. He
strived for a smaller more accurate movement, and changed the style
and fashion from large pocket watches to smaller and more usable wrist
watches. Aegler, a small Swiss luxury Rolex watchhttp://www.awatches.net/watches/rolex.html
company agreed with Hans to create movements small enough to be placed
inside wrist watches. Wilsdorf produced three main designs: formal,
casual, and sporty.
