Watches in History
There are a lot of different styles of gents watches on the market today. In this article we will be reviewing a couple of different ones that have a rich history in the watch world. The watches that we will be talking about are Michel Jordi watches, Omega watches, Harry Winston watches, and the ever famous Rolex watch.
The first watch that we are going to be talking about today is the Michel Jordi watch. In 2004 Michel Jordi created the first ever twist lock system watch. This watch was the only one of its kind that opened up like a fan.
The next watch that we are going to discuss is the ever popular Omega brand watch. There are two reasons that this particular watch company has imprinted itself into watch history, the first reason being that it was the official timepiece of the 1931 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The second reason that this watch has made such a huge impact on watch history and the history of the world is that on the first landing of the 1969 moon landing this watch was worn.
Harry Winston watches is our next topic of discussion in today’s article. These watches made an impact on watch making history when their “Opus V” series became famous for being hand crafted and precisely timed by now famous watchmakers FP Journe and Greubel-Forsey et al. These watches sell for around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Now onto one of the most famous watches in all of history, the Rolex watch. This company which began in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and W Davis established their watch company called Wilsdorf and Davis. This company which in 1908 became Rolex was the first wrist watch company or pocket watch company to make a truly water proof watch, it is the “Oyster”. Rolex was also the first company to come out with an automatic date watch called the “Date just”, and the fist dive watch called the “submariner”.
All of the above mentioned watches are just famous examples of key players in wrist watch history. This is not to say that there are literally thousands of other watches and watchmakers who in some form or fashion have played important roles in making wrist watches the way that we see them today
