The Rolex company was originally founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London under the company name of Wilsdorf and Davis. The now famous Rolex name was registered a trademark in 1908. In over 100 years this company dedicated to masterful timepieces has not only thrived but their watches have become the true symbol for status and wealth throughout the world.
