Rolex - A Brief History



During 1905 Hans Wilsdorf along with his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up 'Wilsdorf and Davis' in London. Their most important business enterprise back then was actually importing Hermann Aegler's Swiss watch movements into the United Kingdom and setting them into high-quality wristwatch cases from Dennison and other high class jewellers. A majority of these early watches happened to be supplied to top class jewellers, that then simply just engraved their company labels onto the watch face. The original wristwatches coming from Wilsdorf and Davis were ordinarily hallmarked 'W&D' inside of the back of the case.

During 1908 Wilsdorf licensed the now world famous brand 'Rolex' and in addition set up an office building in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The corporation identity 'Rolex' was in fact licensed on 15th November 1915. The name Rolex was probably invented, nonetheless its starting point has always been unknown. Wilsdorf had been thought to require the wristwatch brand's identity to be comfortably pronounceable in virtually any tongue. He moreover felt that this identity 'Rolex' happened to be onomatopoeic, suggesting a sound kind of like a wrist watch getting wound up. Finally it was moreover compact enough to put on the dial of any wristwatch. A specific report, certainly not affirmed by Wilsdorf, might be that the term had come from the French words horlogerie exquise, which translates to mean 'exquisite clockwork'. The publication 'The Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorized History' written by Jeffrey P. Hess and James Dowling tells us that this particular brand name was in fact simply just invented.

During 1914 Kew Observatory issued a Rolex wristwatch a Class A precision certification, an honour that had been traditionally presented entirely to maritime chronometers.

During 1919 Wilsdorf migrated the corporation to Geneva, Switzerland where it became identified as the Rolex Watch Company. Their company name was in fact subsequently revised to Montres Rolex, SA and eventually Rolex, SA. The firm migrated away from the UK primarily because export duty and taxes for the precious metals utilized for the wrist watch cases had been forcing expenditures beyond their budget.

After the demise of his spouse in 1944, Wilsdorf put in place the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation into which he placed each of his Rolex shares, making certain that a part of the organization's profits might be given to good causes. The firm continues to be owned and operated through a privately owned trust and as a consequence shares are never dealt in any stock market.

During December 2008 the unexpected leaving of Rolex Chief Exec Patrick Heiniger, due to 'personal reasons', had been accompanied by a denial via the business that it had suffered the loss of one billion Swiss Francs (around £574 million, $900 million) placed with Bernard Madoff, the US investment broker who pleaded guilty for an approx . £30 billion global Ponzi strategy scam.
