History of Rolex
Hans Wilsdorf from Culembach, Germany, moved to London in 1905 and founded with his brother-in-law Alfred Davis a company that bears their name: the Wilsdorf & Davis. At the time, most of the production was done in Switzerland and the country's craftsmen were the only ones capable of making mechanical movements small enough to fit in a watch pocket.
From the beginning, Wilsdorf focused on the luxury niche, asking its suppliers for smaller and more reliable parts, a system that made possible the manufacture of increasingly more miniaturized in a variety of designs at a time when pocket onions were popular.
Finally, the Aegler company (named after its founder, Jean Aegler), a small factory in Buenne, agreed to supply him with the parts he needed. The partnership between Wilsdorf & Davis and Aegler never stopped.
In 1906, the company patented a retractable strap that would fit almost any model. The Rolex brand was finally registered in London in 1908 by Wilsdorf. In order not to affect the stability of customers, the company's models are named after Wilsdorf & Davis - Rolex for a while, then only kept the Rolex name.
I need a watchs winder for my Rolex watch ?
If you don't wear your Rolex every day, consider putting it on a watch winder, because your Rolex needs to be wound a certain number of times a day to fully wind the mainspring and extend its life.
A watch winder is a luxury device that maintains your Rolex without worrying about winding it.
But if you wear your Rolex every day, you don't need to put it in your winder.
Rotation direction for Rolex
The watch winder must work properly to properly wind your Rolex. It must be able to rotate clockwise, counter-clockwise and in both directions.
If your Rolex needs to be wound clockwise, turning your watch counter-clockwise will not power it, so it will not be wound. To find out the direction of rotation of your Rolex, you can follow our winding parameters for Rolex.
