Rolex Cellini Dress Watches for Men

Benvenuto Cellini was a 16th century sculptor, goldsmith, silversmith, author, and musician, and one of

the most influential artists of the Mannerism Period of the High Renaissance. Cellini admittedly murdered five people, including his wife from whom he was separated, but still found favor with kings and popes. The Mannerism style is noted for being intellectually sophisticated and artificial, as opposed to being naturalistic.

The History of Rolex

Rolex was registered as a trademark in Switzerland and 1908, and the company name was registered in

1915. Since 1905, Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis, his brother-in-law, had been importing Swiss

movements from England and placing them in watch cases with the hallmark W&D inside the quality

caseback. In 1914, Rolex was the first wristwatch to be awarded the Class A Precision Certificate by

the Kew Observatory. This distinction was historically awarded only to marine chronometers.

Rolex has brought many innovations to the wristwatch making industry, including the first waterproof

watch (1923) and the first 100 m waterpoof watch (1953), the first watches to have changing day and

date, and to simultaneously display two time zones (1954). Some members of the Hillary expedition, the first to reach the top of Mount Everest in 1953, wore Rolex Oysters.
