Rolex has completed a century of manufacturing exquisite wrist watches. Rolex watches are considered priceless, stylish and regarded as a status symbol for their design, technology, perfection and the innovation they bring in every new watch. Rolex was founded by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London in the year 1905. The company was officially named Rolex in the year 1908 and was moved to Geneva, Switzerland in the year 1919. The company is owned by a private trust till date.
Rolex defined innovation in watch manufacturing and is still the number one in wristwatch making. Rolex was the first for many developments including waterproof watch case, date and dial, two time zones at once and the first to get a chronometer certificate. Rolex has three watch lines which include Oyster Perpetual, Professional, and Cellini. These watches cost anywhere between $4500-$28000[approx.values]. And other than making watches Rolex is the official timekeeper for Wimbledon and Australian open grand slam, Rolex has reached the Mt. Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary and they have awards of their own to recognize exceptional achievements in the fields of environment, technology and innovation, science and medicine and many more, with a price money of $100,000.
