The name rolex among watches has long ceased to be just a brand name, and has become a household name. The history of this watch begins on June 2, 1908. On this day, the German Hans Wildorf founded a Swiss watch company and came up with her sonorous name — rolex. Until today, no one has been able to say exactly where this name came from and what it means. Many researchers of the company's history believe that Hans Wisldorf just tried to come up with a word that would be easy to read and pronounce in all European languages, and would look beautiful on the dial of a wrist watch. And it must be admitted that he was quite successful. Officially, the rolex company was registered on November 15, 1916. Since then, the company name has been changed several times, but the word rolex has always remained in all its variations. 2 years after its Foundation — in 1910, the company developed a watch movement that was officially certified as a chronometer for the first time in the world. In 1914, the rolex watch is tested for 45 days at the Kew Observatory in London, after which it is recognized as the most accurate clockwork in the world and receives a certificate. In 1926, rolex specialists created the world's first water-and dust-proof watches. To prove their reliability, in 1927, the company's management decided on a bold experiment: an Englishwoman, Mercedes Gleitze, swam the English channel with a Rolex on her arm. After a 10-hour stay in the water, the clock mechanism counted seconds and minutes with the same accuracy as the control sample. In 1931, the rolex company received a patent for an automatic winding watch movement. In 1957, the company released the world's first women's wrist chronometer — a smaller size and better adapted for a thin female wrist. Today, Rolex is synonymous with high accuracy, reliability, and" unkillability " of watch movements. But at the same time it is also a prestige and a certain financial position of their owners.
