Let\u2019s be honest \u2013 a Rolex timepiece is, in itself, a piece of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a brand history that spans decades, and a collection that holds some of the most valuable and more recognisable timepieces in the world, Rolex has made a name for itself as a practical, innovative style icon.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how does the brand connect with the world of art \u2013 and how much of the Rolex design is inspired by artistic concepts and influences?<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019re taking a look at the design of Rolex watches and how closely linked the brand is with art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Birth of Rolex Design<\/b><\/h2>\n

In order to understand the role of design in Rolex, we need to look at <\/span>how the brand was born.<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally, the watches produced by Rolex\u2019s founders were crafted using Swiss components and outsourced watch cases \u2013 however, these early wristwatches were inaccurate. Under their early name of Wilsdorf and Davis, the two founders sought to create a brand that was underpinned by standard, and that combined their interest in accuracy with impeccable design and a style that would render each piece a work of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rolex as a brand was born in 1910, and ever since has made history with its unique displays of design flair and creative function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Most Innovative Rolex Models in Terms of Design<\/b><\/h2>\n

When we talk about innovation within the design of a Rolex watch, we need to acknowledge both the visible features and the aesthetic style of the watch, and the innovation in terms of function and practical usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any Rolex watch is considered in the industry to be a work of art, owing to its <\/span>use of the finest materials<\/span><\/a> and the most creative, revolutionary design features. A Rolex watch doesn\u2019t just tell the time, but it balances its core function with a host of other features based on the unique model \u2013 whether that be enabling the wearer to dive to a depth of 100 m or track their race speed in a F1 car.<\/span><\/p>\n
