Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis, Rolex is a Swiss manufacturer of high-end timepieces.
The company's founders, Wilsdorf and Davis, set out to provide jewellers with premium watches. Wilsdorf trademarked "Rolex" in 1908, and the company quickly rose to prominence in the watch industry.
From the first waterproof watch to the first automated date display, Rolex made a number of firsts during the 20th century. Explorers, sportsmen, and world leaders are just some of the famous people who have been seen wearing Rolex watches. Even now, Rolex is universally regarded as a benchmark of premium timepiece quality and prestige.
