History

Rolex was founded in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf. Initially focused on improving the accuracy of wristwatches, Rolex became the first brand to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision in 1910. The company moved its headquarters to Geneva in 1919 and introduced the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, the “Oyster,” in 1926. In 1931, Rolex invented the “Perpetual” self-winding movement, laying the foundation for modern automatic watchmaking. Today, Rolex stands as a global symbol of prestige, excellence, and performance.
