Due to his passion for driving and flying, Albert wanted a watch to wear on the wrist instead of his pocket. Albert Dumos Santos was a famous Brazilian young bachelor living in Paris and totally in love with the newly developed industries of cars and planes. Maybe Santos sounds now like a second word to Cartier in the world of watches but it wasn’t like this one century ago. If you can relate to the idea then you should go for one blind folded! Submariner is obviously the most recognizable design from Rolex but every detail on the case and dial is there for a reason and not because it was trendy. Long story short, Rolex watches are also extremely reliable and this means there are still people wearing watches earned from their grand grand parents and they work great. He was also a marketing genius and he managed to associate the logo with everything important, from sports to business. The founder of the company was a visionary and understood the future is not anymore about the pocket watches. Hate it, Love it, but don’t tell me you didn’t hear about it because I won’t believe you! Rolex is one of the reasons for which today is fashionable to wear a watch on your wrist. 7 ideas follow below:Įverything starts and ends with Rolex. There are still a few beautiful watches around for which you won’t spend a fortune. So if you’re still a beginner, my advice would be to look for a design you really like and a model you can afford. Regarding value, there isn’t any principle stating that an expensive watch should always be as valuable as the price tag. The so-called Icon Watches are those watches, usually in production since more than 20 years, with a design usually unchanged since day one and therefore with high chances to be able to keep their value in time. Therefore, I start here a story about the watches that really matter especially for people thinking to wear a real message on the wrist. In most of the situations, it is Swiss Made, because all good watches should come from Switzerland, but this is more or less everything I recognize as horological about the question. Someone calls me to ask about a watch with a funny shape from a new and ”ambitious” brand. Among hundreds of thousands of watches, you only find a few with real stories behind.
