Rolex is one of the most famous brands of high-quality luxury watches. They are widely regarded as status symbols. The company was started by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis in London in 1905. They registered the name “Rolex” in 1908. In 1919, the company moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where it has stayed ever since. Rolex has been a pioneer in watch-making and produced the first ever self-winding watch, the first watch with an automatically changing date and the first underwater time piece. Today, the company produces over 2,000 watches a day, all put together by highly skilled workers. The company has a never-ending job of pursuing counterfeits of its products. Rolex generates around $3 billion in annual revenues and employs just less than 3,000 staff.
