Rolex bought a daily newspaper in 2020 through an intermediary foundation. As the brand is embroiled in scandal the business deal — estimated at 6.5 million euros — is bringing in dividends…

We've entered a new era of watch design that goes beyond just a varied palette of colors: This is the era of playfulness, lightness and casualness that is redefining luxury…

A new patent filed by Rolex reveals the brand is tackling anti-magnetism again. And the initial testing results broke records, exceeding expectations from Rolex engineers…

For 2024 I am predicting the Rolex market will continue to soften as the brand catches up with deliveries. But in the longer term, artificial intelligence will make its way into watchmaking — and not just in watch design or engineering, but also online customer service…

What's the ultimate resistance test a Rolex Explorer can be put through? Hiking a mountain? River-rafting? Repelling? How about being strapped to the wrist of a stunt double, day after day…

The new Rolex manufacture in Bulle slated to open in six years will help with endless waiting lists. Or will it? India, now the most populous country in the world and the fastest-growing major economy, only counts 25 Rolex boutiques…

Paul Newman has done more for Rolex than any other brand ambassador, including Roger Federer, that is clear. Still, how long can future generations of Rolex collectors or clients really relate to a man born in 1925? My next pick.

Rumors abound whether the Rolex Milgauss — once dubbed “the watch for scientists” — will be revived. It could be and it should be, I argue. But for a different kind of scientists…

They would welcome their passengers to a Pan American Jet Clipper before crossing the High Seas. They're the giants on whose shoulders I stand. They've flown boat-planes, propeller planes and the first airliner jets which took four pilots to manage. They literally wrote the book on air safety...

"So, how are you doing?" I was on the phone with Gary Powers Jr., the son of the famous U-2 pilot shot down at 70,000 feet over the Soviet Union during the Cold War. We were just a couple of hours before his dad's Rolex was being auctioned in Geneva. "I'm a nervous wreck," he tells me. I laughed, then I told him I'd call back and check on him after the auction…

Corporal Clive James Nutting, above, far right, decided to order a stainless-steel Rolex Oyster 3525 Chronograph from Rolex while being held as a prisoner in Germany, in camp Stalag Luft III, during World War II. The 3525 Chronograph is the one depicted in the 1940s Rolex ad below.
