Questions About First Watches
- What was the first Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There is no official first Rolex watch, as Hans Wilsdorf, the original watchmaker behind Rolex was making watches before ever branding them as Rolex. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula. But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex. Shop a range of vetted authentic Rolex watches from top boutiques around the world on 1stDibs.
- What was the first Omega watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The first Omega watch to be produced in a series was the Labrador. It debuted in 1885 and featured an advanced movement. Its technology went on to provide the basis for the Swiss watchmaker's 19-ligne Omega Caliber, which came out 10 years later. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of Omega watches.
- What was the first Gucci watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The first Gucci watch was the Model 2000. In 1974, the timepiece set a Guinness World Record for being the top-selling watch, with more than 1 million units sold within two years. Shop a range of Gucci watches on 1stDibs.
