In order for a Rolex watch to be made available for sale it has to go through a ten step manufacturing process. Each one of these stages ensures that the watch meets the highest quality standards and will withstand the rigorous testing that Rolex requires. - Where Did Rolex Come From?
In 1905 Hans Wilsdorf established a company in London who were to specialise in the development and production of watches. Three years later he chose Rolex as the brand name for his watches.

1953 saw Louis and a colleague, Jack Parry, receiving permission to develop an atomic clock at the NPL based on Louis's existing knowledge of quartz crystal oscillators and other relevant techniques he had learned from the cavity resonance wavemeter he had previously designed. Only two years later Louis's first atomic clock was running, Caesium I, designed by the UK scientists. - Health Services' Excessive Prescription of Medications
