Rolex watches are made for punctual and successful persons who do value the highest quality and preciseness. Rolex is known in the whole world, even to those who do not wear wristwatches. Rolex did not spend much time for getting such a reputation, the watch maker became famous soon after it was founded.
In 1910 Rolex wristwatches became the first in the history of Swiss watch making industry to get the title of certificated chronometer (this means “a wristwatch with a very precise movement). After this every watch maker had the goal to get such a certification, since such certification meant not just prestige, but also recognition of the great quality of wristwatches.
After some years Hans Wilsdorf decided to move from England to Switzerland -the state that is known for its really brilliant wristwatches. The next fantastic achievement of the company is the world’s first waterproof watch Oyster that was released in 1926. The watch got this name owing to a special shape of case where the crown was screwed in such a manner that the case of a Rolex watch became impeccably waterproof.
Soon the whole world was impressed by the high quality of Oyster Rolex timepieces. In 1927 a Rolex wristwatch swam across English Channel on the wrist of a swimmer. Even after being exposed to water the movement of the watch’s movement remained dry and it remained as reliable as it had been before the test.
Nowadays watches by Rolex are known as ones of the best in the world. Any detail of a Rolex watch is perfect. A watch by Rolex is a wristwatch that will serve for an enormous amount of time!
