ROLEX

The origins of the name Rolex are uncertain. According to some historians, the term was derived from the French phrase "houloguorie exquise," which translates to "exquisite watchmaking." Another widely held belief is that the name Rolex is derived from the sound of a watch winding. Others claim that inventors Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis loved the sharp sound of Rolex since it was easy to spell and speak in any language.

In 1925, Wilsdorf and Davis registered the Rolex emblem as a trademark. The initial design included a five-pointed coronet or crown in gold above Rolex in green letters outlined in gold. The design featured the Rolex tagline "A Crown for Every Achievement," and the colors chosen were intended to represent the brand's excellence in watchmaking (gold) and wealth (green).

In the brand's history, the Rolex logo was updated twice. The crown was changed from gold to bronze in 1965, and the inscription was changed to a pewter blue. However, Rolex returned to its original color scheme in 2002: a gold crown and green text.
