The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who took the first steps in the world of Swiss watchmaking as he dreamed about a timepiece that could be worn around the wrist. This experimental research led Rolex to achieve its highest goals in both technological innovation and in the use of the finest materials alone. Its models have been photographed on the wrists of political leaders, sports champions, and film and fashion celebrities, transforming each Rolex into a fully-fledged status symbol, a synonym of elegance and precision.
Including essays with a historical and technical slant, in-depth descriptions of the most representative pieces and a brief glossary, the pages in this book sparkle with golden hands, diamond-studded dials and patent-leather watchband's, illustrated in period photographs and macro-detail. The volume ends with a chapter dedicated to the most amazing auctions that saw the sale of the Geneva-based company's vintage watches.

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.
