ROLEX              

Hans Wilsdorf registered the trademark name "Rolex" in Switzerland during 1908. The word "Rolex" could come from the  French phrase horlogerie exquise, meaning exquisite watch industry.

The company name Rolex was officially registered on 10/15/15. It is thought this change was part of a drive to popularize wristwatches, which at the time were still considered a novelty largely for women (pocket watches were more common). It was later changed to Montres Rolex (watches Rolex) SA and finally Rolex  SA.

According to foundation documentation, the Rolex SA company can never be sold, nor traded on any stock market.

 

 

Quality and innovations are synonyms of Rolex. Among the company's innovations are the first self-winding watch; the first waterproof watch case; the first wristwatch with a date on the dial; the first watch to show two time zones at once; and most importantly the first watchmakers to earn the coveted chronometer certification for a wristwatch. To date, Rolex still holds the record for the most certified chronometer movements in the category of wristwatches. Another little known fact is that Rolex participated in the development of the original quartz movements.
