Acerca del artículo

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1914 ROLEX Rare Vintage Mens World War I Era Military Officers Demi-Hunter Trench Watch - Sterling Silver Rare & Early Rolex Wristwatch - Military Trench Watch Style - 1 Year Warranty In the first decade after the turn of the twentieth century when someone referred to a gentleman's watch they most often meant one object - a large, timing instrument kept in the pocket. That changed in part because of Hans Wilsdorf, a true legend in timekeeping history, who founded Rolex Watch Co. in 1908. When the first World War erupted, demand rose sharply for these novel watches as Allied servicemen needed a more suitable way to access their vital timepieces. Today's offering showcases this rare and Rolex demi-hunter "trench watch" likely built during World War I c. 1914 or 1915, only six or seven years after the founding of Rolex. While watches from this era were often quite small, this watch is the size of most watches four decades later. It is quite large for the era, measuring 35mm in diameter without the crown. We believe these more than a century old Rolex are underappreciated: At a time when Rolex values are climbing finding an original one of these is very difficult, their military style is exceedingly cool, and they are one of the first Rolex wristwatches made, yet they often sell for less than a ubiquitous 70's Oysterdate. Often referred to as a Trench Watch, watches like this one enabled an officer to coordinate his men's activities with precision with just a glance at his wrist. With its circular case, easy to read porcelain dial with large numerals, and small "onion" winding crown, it clearly showcases its resemblance to a pocket watch. This particular example takes the pocketwatch design even further. Designed to capture the best qualities of both the hunter cased and open face pocket watches from the era, it features a half-hunter case construction which offered the protection of a hunter cased watch with the convenient time reading of an open faced watch. It even has a spring-loaded push button that opens the lid like a pocket watch. The case has a wonderful early screwback case design, suggestive of the Oyster that was to follow a decade and a half late. The centerpiece of the watch when the case is closed is the demi-hunter bezel with engraved numbers, and the centerpiece of the watch when the cover is open is its beautiful original porcelain dial with large luminous Arabic numerals. Its very early, signed Rolex sterling silver case is in honest condition. It has tarnished with a nice light patina, so we have left it on for the sale. If you would like removed so that the case is a shiny silver tone, please let us know. Its untouched original dial is in very good condition with a few hairlines. Its luminous in its hands and numerals are beautifully toned and matching. One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker has fully serviced its original, signed Rolex Rebberg "hunter" movement which included installing a new mainspring. Photos of the inside available upon request. For the finishing touch it comes equipped with a new one-piece leather strap for its fixed lugs making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Aunque el aumento de la popularidad de los relojes Rolex vintage no sorprende a los aficionados, coleccionistas y expertos del sector, cuando se trata de relojes de pulsera de lujo contemporáneos, Rolex también suele ser la primera marca que viene a la mente. La empresa no sólo es venerada por su precisión horaria y su impecable artesanía, sino que su nombre fue diseñado para ser memorable.

El envidiable reconocimiento mundial de Rolex puede atribuirse en parte al genio del fundador de la empresa, Hans Wilsdorf. Cuando el relojero de origen alemán y su cuñado, Alfred Davis, crearon su empresa en Londres, en 1905, la llamaron Wilsdorf & Davis, según la fórmula tradicional.

Pero Wilsdorf estaba decidido a dar con otro nombre que fuera corto, quedara bien en la esfera de un reloj y fuera fácil de pronunciar y recordar en varios idiomas. En 1908 registró el nombre Rolex y en 1920 trasladó la empresa a Ginebra y la rebautizó como Montres Rolex S.A.

Pero las principales razones del éxito de la marca son su ya mencionado compromiso con la precisión y su incansable búsqueda de la innovación. En 1926, la empresa presentó el modelo Oyster. Con una corona atornillada y un fondo de caja, ambos equipados con juntas de goma, fue el primer reloj realmente resistente al agua.

Cinco años después, Rolex subió la apuesta con la Oyster Perpetual. El movimiento Perpetuo patentado de ese modelo contenía un mecanismo de rotor que le permitía darse cuerda a sí mismo. En otro movimiento que marcó tendencia, en 1945 la marca presentó el Datejust, con una ventanilla de fecha destacada en la esfera.

Los dos modelos más emblemáticos de la empresa son relojes deportivos. Aunque el Submariner, que debutó en 1953, se desarrolló como reloj de buceo, su caja estanca, su sólida construcción y su buen aspecto lo convirtieron en el favorito de aventureros y urbanitas por igual, incluido James Bond, que lo lució en clásicos como Dr. No y Goldfinger. El Daytona, el cronógrafo de carreras que hizo famoso Paul Newman, es especialmente buscado por los coleccionistas. El Daytona personal de Newman, que salió a subasta en 2017, se vendió por 17,8 millones de dólares.
