Rolex 14k wristwatch by Wilsdorf & Davis early 1900's. Fully Signed Rolex 15 jewels and Swiss Made . Weighs 31.6 Grams The story of Rolex is intimately associated with human achievement. Hans Wilsdorf, the company’s founder, saw the mutual benefit of equipping people who were record breakers with an Oyster watch: the first of a long line of athletes and explorers was Mercedes Gleitze, the first British woman to swim the English Channel.
Even though Rolex has become a household name all across the world, they didn’t start out under that brand. The original company was named Wilsdorf and Davis after it’s founders Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis.
Wilsdorf was the more well-known of the two and seemed to be the driving force behind the vision and innovation of the company while Davis provided the much-needed capital and financial experience to get the business off the ground.
Born in Germany and orphaned when he was young, Wilsdorf spent his years working for La Chaux-de-Fonds, a Swiss watch manufacturer.
At only 24 years old, Wilsdorf met his investor and partner Davis, and they set up Wilsdorf and Davis.

With Wilsdorf’s knowledge/passion for watchmaking combined with Davis’ experience in financing and international trade, they established their company, now known as Rolex that still exists over 100 years later and is loved by watch-fans all over the world.
