\u2018Aspiration\u2019 is a word that is often used when we talk about watches. Something that shows others who we are, where we\u2019re at, and the direction we\u2019re heading in. What a\u00a0Rolex<\/a>\u00a0says is something a little different, things like \u2018I\u2019ve made it\u2019, \u2018catch me if you can\u2019 and \u2018I bet you wouldn\u2019t mind being me?!\u2019<\/strong><\/p>

Although most people will associate Rolex watches with Switzerland like the majority of major watch manufacturers, the brand was actually founded in London, England, in 1905<\/a>. Back then the company was called\u00a0Wilsdorf and Davis. It wasn\u2019t until after the First World War in 1919 when the company upped sticks and moved to the more neutral (and more tax-friendly!) surroundings of Geneva that the watchmaker took on the name it is so fondly known as today.<\/p>

Since those humble beginnings, Rolex has led from the front in terms of design and innovation. In 1926, they produced the world\u2019s first-ever waterproof watch, the Oyster, with its airtight casing that ensured optimum movement when in and around water, and even sat on the wrist of Mercedes Glieitz as she swam for 10 hours non-stop across the English channel. This flirtation with swimming propelled Rolex into other sports and even aviation \u2013 and was seen by many during the era as the innovative timeteller for innovative times.<\/p>
