Brand historyAfter an education in business Hans Wilsdorf, born 1900 in the Franconian Kulmbach, leaves Germany in order to work as an employee for an import/export business in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Three years later he moves to London and, together with the case manufacturer Davis, founds the watches wholesale Wilsdorf & Davis in London. Davis takes over the case production and Wilsdorf the acquisition of high quality watch movements. He ord...ers the movements from the Swiss company Aegler based in Biel.In 1908 Wilsdorf registers today's world-famous brand name "Rolex" for his watches. Rolex stands for "horlogerie exquise" (English: high-quality watchmaking art) — or is inspired by it, one can presume, but it cannot be proven. After all, the name grips well, is memorable and easy to pronounce in all language areas.After England in 1915 has fixed high import taxes on watches, Rolex relocates its headquarters to Biel/Bienne and 1920 to Geneva. The company name is now Montres Rolex SA.Description:There are things you can not argue with. Every day something new appears in our world, and for the old one has already been given a place on the shelf. So things become anachronisms. At this moment the pocket watch is an anachronism. But we, like many others, do not agree with this. This watch is a compilation of a pocket movement and a wrist case, which makes it possible to use it in our time. At the same time, this watch not only preserve the quality and accuracy of Swiss watches, but it is also a part of history.Movement:- Original antique Rolex pocket watch movement- Circa 1920-1925- Working time range from 24 to 36 hours- Watch was completely serviced and keep the right time- Watch sell with CERTIFICATE OF AUTENTICITY- Implemented time setting using the crownFeatures and system:- 18 ruby jewels- Spiral Breguet - Solid gold balance screws- Bimetallic balance- Nickel plated- Gold plated- Swiss madeCase & Band:
