Hans Wilsdorf and his legacy
The story of the founder of Rolex
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf. Wilsdorf, born in Germany, initially worked in the Swiss watch industry before becoming self-employed and specializing in the sales of wristwatches. He recognized early on the potential of the wristwatch as a practical, everyday accessory.
Wilsdorf focused on quality and innovation right from the start. His goal was to produce durable and reliable watches that were precise and stylish. Under his leadership, Rolex became one of the best-known and most respected watch manufacturers in the world. Wilsdorf also introduced many technical innovations, including self-winding technology and waterproof Oyster case construction.
A diving watch that is second to none
The history of the Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner was first introduced in 1953 and has since been considered one of the most famous and popular diving watches in the world. The idea for the Submariner came about when Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf wanted to develop a reliable and precise watch for divers. Working closely with French diving company COMEX, Rolex developed a watch that could withstand the challenges of diving at great depths.
Although the Submariner was developed by many Rolex employees, its design is often attributed to Swiss designer and watch legend René-Paul Jeanneret. Jeanneret was a senior designer at Rolex and was instrumental in designing some of Rolex's most iconic watches, including the Submariner. Today, the Submariner continues to be in production and remains one of the most sought-after luxury watches on the market.
