Details
Description
The history of Rolex is tied to the history of watchmaking in the 1900s. Rolex is one of the most well-known watch manufacturers worldwide and has been in production since 1905. Rolex is synonymous with luxury watches among all the other brands. Originally founded in 1905 and first known as "Wilsdorf and Davis" until 1908, the name "Rolex" was born as the manufacturer saw their potential in developing their own brand. The manufacturer wanted a short name that would be easy to remember and say in any language.
