Rolex

I had the oppportunity yesterday to see a Rolex exhibition in the context of an event organized by an AD (Les Montres) at the Hotel Lutetia in Paris.

The interesting point is that 2 watchmakers were present with a selection of calibers.

Is it a new way for Rolex to communicate ? I don't know but we all appreciated a lot the comments & explanations from the watchmakers.

So here are the pics:

The watchmaker is working on a 4130:




 



The calibers:



Crowns, valve and pushers:



The 4130:









The 3186:



The 4030:





The 750 which is used in the Cellini pocket watch. It's a Frederic Piguet 151 also used by other brands like Daniel Roth.




Thanks a lot to the "Les Montres" and to Rolex for this presentation.

Thanks, FX, for this other great report!

Looks like quite well finished, this 4130!

And what to say about the Rolex Case with all the movements!

I have to hurry before Jocke sees that! LOL

It is great that Rolex attends to such events!

Best,

Nicolas

Nice to see these calibers...

A good idea by Rolex to organize this kind of events.

Thanks FX

Best.

Emilio.

but there are photos to prove it.

Big Green (Rolex) actually sent watchmakers to explain their products on the inside? [Gasp!]

Maybe it is a new communication policy in times of recession?

I've yet to take the plunge into Rolex. Still debating on the Yachtmaster Platinum, GMT II Ceramic Bezel and the SS Milgauss.

Domo.

why cant Rolex have a back case like this to let us show off the caliber

Thanks FX for the pictures.

I was very surprised to see that Rolex had begun communicating with its audience.
Let's hope they will try this again...they have so many things to show us.
