Rolex - the quest for the excellence since 1905
Посетите профиль Пинера Marina в Pinterest. The Rolex company was founded by Hans Wilsdorf in London in 1905. At the age of 24 Hans was dreaming of a watch worn on the wrist. He foresaw that men's watches could become not only elegant, but also reliable. Wilsdorf wanted his watches to bear a name that was short, easy to say and remember in any language - t he Rolex official name was first introduced in 1908. Though nowadays the brand is primarily famous for it's men's watches models - for promotional purposes, Wilsdorf granted a woman - Miss Mercedes Gleitze - one of the earliest Rolex Oysters to wear during her historical swim across the English Channel back on October 7, 1927.

Today, Rolex supports more than 150 sports&cultural events all over the world...
