The Rolex logo uses a combination of crown and letters. Rolex's original logo was a palm with five fingers outstretched, which meant that its products were completely refined by hand and gradually evolved into a well-known crown, showing Rolex's imperial spirit in watchmaking. Rolex is a famous Swiss watch manufacturer, formerly known as Wilsdorf and Davis Company, which was jointly operated by German Hans Weisdorf and British Davis in London in 195. In 198, it was registered as ROLEX by Hans Weisdorf in La Chadé fense, Switzerland.
Rolex antique watches are extremely resistant to falling. At an auction held in Geneva in 22, a 1952 Rolex perpetual calendar gold watch worn by the last Vietnamese emperor Baoda was auctioned in Geneva for 342, Swiss francs (about 235,4 US dollars at that time), amounting to more than 2 million yuan.

On July 2, 198, at 8 am, the trademark of Rolex was officially registered. The first batch of Rolex watches received immediate attention because of their superb technical quality. In 1914, a small Rolex watch received the A-class certificate from the Correction Observatory, which was the highest evaluation never issued by this famous British observatory. Its accuracy has been recognized, which is a world event, making the watch suddenly worth double in Europe and the United States. From then on, the quality of Rolex represents accuracy.
After the First World War, Rolex moved back to Geneva, and under the impetus of its founder, Rolex kept innovating, creating and perfecting itself. It has two research directions: waterproofing and automation. In 1926, the first waterproof and dustproof watch finally came out, which is the famous "oyster" watch. The economic crisis in 1929 hit Switzerland, but Rolex was not affected. During this period, it invented an automatic winding mechanism and created a "constant motion" watch that was all the rage later. This automatic watch has a pendulum, which has never been used on watches before. It has brought a revolution to the watch industry, and it is the pioneer of all automatic watches.
