In 1908, a business man trademarked the name Rolex after owning his own brand of wrist watches which were under the company name of Wilsdorf and Davis. The company was registered on November 15, 1915. The rolex watches became more popular when they won an award that was usually only awarded to marine chronometers. This award was the Class A precision certificate. The company had many years to come that they would be creating many innovations in this industry.
These innovations that were created in rolex watches include being the first wrist watch that had the date on the face of the watch that would automatically change as the days changed. It was the first watch that the day as well as the date would change automatically. It was the first watch to have the ability of being water proof to a depth of 330 feet under water. It was the first watch that could show not only the time zone that you lived in, but other time zones as well. This was a major factor for business people who had to travel a lot to other time zones.
And the rolex watches were the first watches to get the chronometer certification. These watches created a self winding watch that came out in 1931. This was a major improvement because of the small mechanism within the watch that would automatically wind the watch when it needed, thus allowing the consumer to never be without the time of day. There are many other special benefits with having one of these watches. There are many different styles and models that the consumer can choose in order to have the watch that is perfect for them.
