Rolex
While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.
Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. 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, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.
But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.
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. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.
The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.

His talent and passion working with valuable metals and stones eventually allowed him to open his own jewelry shop in 1884. Bulgari's early work was noted for silver pieces that were inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. In the years to come, more and more Bulgari stores were opened across Italy. After Sotirios died in 1975, his sons carried on his legacy, and gave Bulgari the image it has now. They first used the BVLGARI logo in 1934 in their flagship store. As an international brand, Bulgari is a major player in the luxury goods market. The predominant use of yellow gold for the company’s jewels is known as a Bvlgari trademark globally. In the years since, Bulgari has diversified with the introduction of B.zero1, Divas' Dream, Serpenti, BVLGARI BVLGARI and Parentesi. The Bulgari watch collections include Octo, BVLGARI BVLGARI, Diagono and Haute Horlogerie for men and B.zero1, and LVCEA, Serpenti, Divas' Dream, BVLGARI BVLGARI and High Jewellery for women.
