History of Rolex
HISTORY OF ROLEX Rolex’s status and identity are products of a history driven by a passion for innovation and a constant quest for excellence. A succession of pioneering achievements encompassing a watchmaking, industrial and human adventure, this story is interwoven with the history of the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch. Launched in 1926, the Oyster was the starting point for a collection of legendary watches. HISTORY OF ROLEX The success of Rolex is inextricably linked to the extraordinary spirit of enterprise of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf (1881-1960). Through his visionary genius and uncommon capacity to embrace all fields of the company’s activities – technology, communication, organization and distribution – and as the head of the company for more than 50 years, Hans Wilsdorf set the course for an adventure which has given rise to exceptional watches and an unparalleled brand. Today, his personality and his work continue to inspire the company and permeate its corporate culture. The entrepreneur’s influence is also evident in the aesthetics and principal characteristics of the watches that remain faithful to the original Oyster, as well as in Rolex’s ability to draw on its prodigious heritage to continuously advance towards new horizons. HANS WILSDORF AND HIS VISIONARY GENIUS The Rolex adventure began in the early 1900s. Born in Bavaria, Germany, Hans Wilsdorf started his career in watchmaking in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In an era when pocket watches were the order of the day, he was quick to see the potential of the wristwatch for the 20th century, despite their not yet being very precise and being generally considered to be items of jewellery of particular appeal to women.

The elevator had simply given up. What if a subway train also refused to move? I began walking seventy blocks at a time or splurging on taxis. But on this day I had taken the N train. Somewhere between Forty- ninth Street and Forty-second Street, a signal failed and we ground to a halt. For forty minutes, we stood still. An old man yelled at the conductor at full vol- ume in English and Spanish. Time and space began to collapse around me. The orange seats began to march toward each other. I was no longer breathing with any regularity. This is not going to end well. None of this will end well. We will never leave here. We will always be underground.

Cosmograph Daytona Rolex Introduces
BASELWORLD 2016 OYSTER PERPETUAL COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA ROLEX INTRODUCES A CHRONOGRAPH BORN TO RACE The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona embodies a history marked by a passion for speed and motor sport. Created by Rolex in 1963, this model born for racing has established an extraordinary track record in the world of motor sport thanks to its reliability and performance. Known simply as the “Daytona”, the watch has risen to the rank of an icon as one of the best known chronographs in the world. Before lending its name to one of Rolex’s most emblematic models, the city of Daytona Beach in Florida – with its famous long, straight beach, and sand packed as hard as cement – forged its own legend as the capital of land speed records from 1903. The name Daytona also epitomizes the historic ties that bind Rolex and automobile racing, whether in endurance or speed.
