The ticking of the second hand reveals the authenticity of a Rolex watch. The smooth movement of the second hand in a genuine Rolex contrasts with the ticking motion of a fake. If you can hear the ticking of a counterfeit Rolex, it’s clear that it is not a genuine.
The story of Rolex
Rolex was established by the visionary entrepreneur Hans Wilsdorf, who had a deep passion for precision timekeeping and innovation. At just 24 years old in 1905, Wilsdorf founded the company in London, initially named “Wilsdorf & Davis.” His goal was to create wristwatches that were not only elegant but also reliable, capable of withstanding the demands of everyday life while maintaining exceptional accuracy. Moving to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919, the company was rebranded as Rolex, solidifying its reputation as a top luxury watchmaker. Throughout its rich history, Rolex has consistently pushed the boundaries of horological excellence, introducing groundbreaking advancements such as the waterproof Oyster case and the self-winding Perpetual movement. Rolex has become an enduring symbol of precision, craftsmanship, , and timeless elegance.
The mechanical movements
If you can understand the intricacies of the movement, it is recommended to choose a mechanical manual-wind movement like those found in the Cellini collection, or self-winding automatic movements like the ones in the Rolex Kermit. Additionally, there have been a few quartz models in production for around 25 years in the collection, with some opting for Day-Date or Datejust movements.
