The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to the pioneering spirit of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf. In 1905, at the age of 24, Wilsdorf created a company in London specializing in the marketing of Replica Watches. He thus began to imagine a timepiece that could be worn on the wrist. While not guaranteeing wristwatches a very accurate precision, Hans Wilsdorf managed to make them not only elegant, but also reliable.
