Questions About The First Encounter
- What was the first Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024The first Rolex watch was the Oyster. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch when it debuted in 1926. Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. Explore a diverse assortment of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- What is similar to first dibs?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 2, 2023
“First pick,” “exclusive access” and “right of first refusal” are all phrases that are similar to “first dibs.”
First dibs, which means to have the rights to something or the first choice of something, reportedly emerged in the United States in the early 1930s. (In the United Kingdom, the first recorded occurrence of the slang phrase took place during the late 1800s.) To verbally call first dibs on something means that you’re laying claim to it. Who doesn’t want first dibs?
1stDibs has become the global destination for those who must have “first dibs” on treasures from around the world that would otherwise be inaccessible. There is nothing similar to 1stDibs. Since our founding in 2000, we have captured the magic of the Paris flea market, connecting those seeking the most beautiful things on earth with highly coveted sellers and makers in furniture and home decor, art, fine jewelry and fashion.
1stDibs works with a range of trusted prestigious sellers, who are respected professionals in their fields, and the company is committed to shoppers’ satisfaction and peace of mind with every single purchase.
- Who first wore jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cro-Magnons were the first people to wear jewelry. Archeologists have discovered bone bracelets and necklaces produced roughly 40,000 years ago by the predecessors of Homo sapiens. On 1stDibs, you can find a large selection of antique and vintage jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Opinions vary as to who the first industrial designer was. Some experts bestow the title upon Christopher Dresser, a 19th-century British designer who created furniture capable of being mass-produced by machines. Others believe that Peter Behrens deserves the title. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he designed everything from lighting fixtures to furniture to kitchenware. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of furniture and decorative objects.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
The first surviving photograph, taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, depicts an upstairs window in the Burgundy region of France.
- 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Alexander Graham Bell’s first telephone was made of an iron diaphragm, two electromagnets and a horseshoe magnet. The next model featured a transmitter and receiver but was still a magnetic telephone. Eventually, modifications were made to improve the quality, but it’s essentially this technology and the magnet that made original telephones possible. Shop a collection of antique telephones from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Donatello's first sculpture was a marble sculpture of the biblical figure David, produced around 1408 or 1409. The piece is part of the collection of the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. Later in his career, sometime in the 1440s, Donatello depicted the subject again, this time in bronze. This sculpture is also now in the Bargello Museum. Find a large collection of sculptures on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The first Cubist painting was Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, created by Paplo Picasso in 1907. Rejecting the representation of form found in traditional art, Picasso distorted the female form in a geometric manner.
- 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024The world's first digital watch was the Hamilton Pulsar Time Computer. It debuted in 1970, and three years later, superspy James Bond donned a Pulsar in Live and Let Die. The timepiece was powered by a quartz movement system and had a built-in sensor that adjusted the brightness of its LED display in response to changing light conditions. Find a selection of Pulsar watches on 1stDibs.
- Who made the first wristwatch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Abraham-Louis Breguet made the first wristwatch. Delivered in 1812, it was created for Caroline Murat, the queen of Naples and Napoleon Bonaparte’s sister. Breguet is commonly called the “father of modern horology.” The Swiss horologist is responsible for the creation of many clock and watch innovations that are still used in timepieces today, including the self-winding watch, the tourbillon movement, the perpetual calendar and a shock absorption system. Find a collection of Breguet watches on 1stDibs.

- What was the first Chanel bag?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023The first Chanel bag isn’t known by a specific model name. It was technically created during the 1920s, when Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel began to design handbags as part of the clothing and accessories she was producing for her couture house. While the revolutionary designer and founder of the brand was experimenting with a range of handbag designs during the era, the first Chanel bag to have a recognizable style name was the Chanel 2.55.
