Horological trends flit by faster than ever in today's fast-paced society. But Rolex does not rely on gimmicks; theirs is a more perennial allure, with a reputation built on traditions and hard-earned skill. A company that innovates while paying homage to their roots, every Rolex is the culmination of centuries of watchmaking expertise.
Within this book you will find explanations of the making process, descriptions of the materials involved and expert commentary on what makes each Rolex wristwatch unique.
The Book of Rolex demonstrates how each model fits its social milieu, present and past. It also addresses the multitude of fakes on the market, including the so-called 'Frankenstein's' - watches made from a mixture of real parts and forgeries, which are notoriously hard to spot - imparting all the skills needed to pick counterfeits out of a line-up.
A holistic view of Rolex watches, this book promises to be as timeless as the brand itself. Should you be considering a Rolex, this book will convince you of its worth as an investment.

All Foxton Watch Stands are manufactured from sustainably sourced Solid American Walnut & Oak.
Timeless Elegance
Designer & creators, Jason & Daniel Stebbens explains:“Having previously owned a watch stand, the issue we found is that most available watch stands on the market cannot hold more than 2 watches. Having the ability to rotate various watches became difficult and therefore we designed a watch stand that could hold up 4 watches at Ø42mm. Our partners also needed to store a watch somewhere and the 4 watch stand became the perfect piece. We were conscious about creating a sustainably sourced product and therefore have the whole product including packaging produced within a 30-mile radius of our office in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom”.After 1 year of designing and prototyping, The Foxton Watch Stand was born.
Rugged & Sustainable Packaging
With sustainability in mind, The Foxton Watch Stand is packaged in FSC grade card and paper and biodegradable foam inserts. The packaging has been carefully developed to ensure that each product is safely delivered to each customer.
