Rolex was founded in 1902 by Hans Wilsdorf, a watchmaker who strived to create technically advanced watches with precise movements for athletes, explorers, and other individuals on the move.
The first Patek Philippe watch was created in 1868 after founders Antoine Patek and François Czapek perfected their craft of creating custom pocket watches.
Made with shock-resistant and lightweight materials that are also found in race cars and other durable materials such as NASA-grade titanium, there really is no other watch quite like a Richard Mille.
