The Orphan Boy Who Created Rolex
Rolex is one of the most Luxury Brands in the World, valued today at around $8 Billion Dollars. Its history dates back a century ago and began with an orphan teenager whose inheritance was stolen away from him. After a few years working his way out, he decided to follow his passion and opened a watchmaking business. Little did he know that this business venture would lead him to pioneer modern wristwatches, changing its whole industry and creating a Billion-Dollar Empire. This is the story of Hans Wilsdorf.

he is a good man, I have heard alot about him from my colleagues at work.
I have 1972 oysters perpetual that originally belonged to my father,He passed onto to me as hi-school graduation present in 81. Even since it is on my wrist every day, I was fortunate enough to buy couple of another one later in life but ‘72 is very special to me. I’m wearing every single day with amazement that 50 years old watch never skip the ticking, still accurate enough ( gets behind 2~3min a month), jubilee band fits so snugly yet securely, it reminds me of my youth and fantastic father I had. I miss him…

Do you people hear yourselves. Stfu with the charity talk. Do you see the lunacy you speak? People work hard to make their lives better. It’s not on them to be a charity for others. If you rely on people to take care of you, you will inevitably become lazy. Go out and work hard and become something. The system is rigged to make everyone poor so no matter what charities are given money, they all have the vicious cycle of poor people coming to them. The faces may change, but it’s not because those people became something and started a business. It’s likely because they overdosed and died. Work hard. Be responsible and accountable and don’t have your hand stretched out for a handout. These comments are exactly why we are all screwed. Lazy humans after lazy humans. Screw you all.
I'm not sure why there is a need to perpetuate the belief that Hans Hanswildorf was some disadvantaged orphan. His parents passed away but he was cared for by his wealthy family. He was given an elite education. It's not like he crawled off the dirt streets of Mogadishu and put Rolex together after a leprosy induced feverish dream.

Yeah, good luck with this statement in these days, this statement is probably as stupid as "money doesn't make you happy". How many of these big people followed their dream/passion? 0.001%? Most of the success men had a big spark at the right time in the right place and they took advantage of that, which is better than dreaming. This is the key to success, to think, not to dream.

Yes, this is top, everything was done correctly)
The father of a friend of mine used to be a biker. Many years ago he was at a biker meeting and a man came up to him and wanted to buy his bike (im not gonna lie don’t know how much) and said he would add a watch to the money for his bike. The watch was a Rolex but back then they werent as prestigious as they are today at least when it comes to switzerland. The man who came up to him was the brother of Hans which created rolex. Hans made 3 watches where the rolex symbol was red. One he kept for himself, the other he gave to his brother and the other one idk. However his brother traded the watch and money for my friends father his bike. Today this watch can’t be found anywhere and no matter where he takes it, no one takes their eyes of the watch. I tried find anything about it which I did however there is no price known for this watch and no one at a jewelry can give him a price on that and they all just stand there stunned. Its pretty funny how big and yet so small the world is.

9:39 It was Kew Observatory, nothing to do with James Bond's gadget man. Another point worth mentioning: until Rolex hit the big time, watches were more often branded by their retailers, the actual makers were just backroom boys beavering away somewhere. Rolex spent lots of efforts on building the brand's reputation, and the brand was reputable enough to get the retailers to sell them without the usual rebranding, and this gradually became the norm in the industry.

"Some people already talk about the help he had, the advantages he had. So many people with wealth went the other way as well." I think the issue is that this type of video can, often unintentionally, be used as a means of bashing the poor by effectively saying "look what other poor people did" and ignore the element of luck altogether. It isn't about taking away people's achievements it is more about placing things in the correct context.

Ze doen dat...omdat er veel te veel brol en valse Rolexen op de markt circuleren...en als je een nieuwe wil zal je dik betalen...en de prijzen swingen daardoor de pan uit..en ook spaarboekje brengt toch niks op...m.a.w. de goeie klanten zijn slachtoffer van malafide individuen die geen respect hebben voor het merk Rolex en enkel oog hebben voor het geld...bij deze....groetjes

Why buy a product from a company who evidently shows such contempt for consumers. Take your custom elsewhere instead of being fooled by their marketing machine
As mentioned in the video, WWI made wristwatches popular, in part because of Rolex itself. Horatio Alger rags to riches story, nicely done.
That is a really good video! Thank you !
Amazing content! Very informative 🔥🔥🔥
I have so much respect for Rolex after this. I will own one me and my kids
I’ll never forget walking in the woods looking for a part that fell off my dirt bike while we were zipping through the woods and found a Rolex Oyster Perpetual under my foot!! I was brushing leaves and twigs on the outside of a corner where I remember bottoming out my rear suspension and launching really strong out of that turn. I thought that would be a logical place for the suspension ring I lost would have come out. As I was about to step forward I noticed something shiny under my right foot. I dug down with my hand and it was a watch! Picked it up and cleaned it off and voilà!! A Rolex!!! After searching the serial number to see if it was reported lost, nothing showed up and no one laid claim to it. Held on to it for about 5 years and eventually sold it for $3500 as it was. Unbelievably there was no damage to the crystal and just a few light scratches on the wristband. It must have fallen in just the right place and my foot landed on it as not to damage it. It was dated as a 1968 and I found it in 1983Still one of my favorite surprise discoveries. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

@@Ah-mi1mp, yeah, that was a great find. A lot of folks hiked the same trails we made as a scramble race track through the deep dense woods in that huge forest area across the street from my house. Nice 3 mile loop down the mountain around the reservoir and back up. Off the subject, but just an awesome place to grow up. I came from a pretty well to do family of 8 kids (Dad was the President of an aircraft engine manufacturer and traveled the world) and Dad wanted us kids to have the biggest playground possible. So he moved us into a huge house on one of the highest points in the area with direct access to the massive state forest right across the street. Our house was the gathering place for about 50 kids that lived in that mountain and that forest was our own private playground. All the adults benefitted from all the miles of trails we made. Lucky for me one of them must have dropped their Rolex!! LOL!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻 🤣
