Rolex has a great deal of gratitude to pay towards its founder Hans Wilsdorf who at the age of 24 founded a company in London specialising in the distribution of timepieces. Although wristwatches were not very precise during that period, he always knew that wristwatches would not only become an elegant fashion statement one day but also become very reliable. It also took the genius Hans Wilsdorf a combination of multiple letters and words to create the title Rolex which would be easy to remember and short enough to fit into any watch movement or dial. Oyster was the first waterproof and dustproof watch created by Rolex in 1926. In 1931 they also invented and patented the world’s first self-winding mechanism with a Perpetual rotor which is today used in almost every modern watch.

Rolex watches include the Oyster collections and Cellini collection, they also have a variety of watches for both men and women to choose from. Rolex has also created the first watch with a date on the dial that automatically changes. It is also the first company to create a watch that shows two time zones at the same time. You can also find a series of women Rolex watches at fine jewellery stores because most of these watches have a very sleek and stylish design that also resemble a bracelet feature. Rolex watches are expensive and do not fall on the cheaper side, but owning a Rolex is also considered to build up one’s status symbol. Rolex produces around 2,000 watches per day and is one of the top selling brands who is also globally recognized all over the world.
