Rolex – History
Rolex is an iconic luxury watch company created more than 150 years ago. It started out in 1905, when Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred David found a watchmaking business in London. In 1908 they register the brand name Rolex and change the company’s name, which will be renamed as Rolex Watch Co. Ltd. After World War I, the hard economic situation of the United Kingdom makes them move their business to Geneva, Switzerland. In 1920 Hans Wildorfs registers the company in the Swiss city with the name Montres Rolex SA, which later will become Rolex SA. After his wife’s death in 1944, Wilsdorf creates private trust and leaves all his private shares to it, ensuring that part of the company’s income will go to charity from then on. Wilsdorf dies in 1960 and the business is taken over by the trust, which is still running it.
