Rolex - watches & reviews

Rolex is recognized the world over for its expertise and the quality of its products. Its Oyster Perpetual and Perpetual watches, all certified as Superlative Chronometers for their precision, performance and reliability, are symbols of excellence, elegance and prestige. The word ‘Perpetual’ is more than just a word on a dial; it is a philosophy that embodies the company’s vision and values. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the company, instilled a notion of perpetual excellence that would drive the company forward. Rolex is the origin of numerous major watchmaking innovations, such as the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch, launched in 1926, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism invented in 1931. The brand has registered over 600 patents in the course of its history.
