Rolex is an independent manufacturer which makes almost every component in-house. This dive watch, the Submariner, was famously worn by James Bond in the earliest films. Rolex is credited as producing the first chronometer wristwatch with an automatically changing date display and as one of the first watchmakers to produce a dive watch. The Oyster became the Oyster Perpetual when Rolex patented a self-winding mechanism in 1931. The company marketed this feature by placing its watches in aquariums and advertising the channel swim of Mercedes Gleitz, who wore a new waterproof Rolex. To address this issue, Rolex pioneered the use of a hermetically sealed case dubbed “Oyster” for its water resistance. Watches at this time were susceptible to damage from dust and moisture. Three years later, the name was changed to the easily pronounced “Rolex.” In 1919, Wilsdorf moved Rolex to Switzerland. The company imported Swiss movements and cased them in England to be sold by jewelers. In 1905, Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis established a watch business called Wilsdorf and Davis in London, England. ![]() Despite its fame, the company’s early history is little known.
