History of Rolex
Rolex was founded by Hans Wilsdorf in London before later relocating to Geneva, Switzerland. The brand quickly became known for innovation and reliability, introducing groundbreaking advancements that shaped the modern wristwatch industry.
Rolex created the Oyster case in 1926, one of the world’s first waterproof watch cases, followed by the Perpetual rotor system in 1931, which helped popularize automatic self-winding watches. Over the decades, Rolex continued developing iconic tool watches designed for divers, pilots, explorers, racers, and professionals around the world.
