This special tablet edition of WatchTime presents a rare look inside the manufacturing complexes of Rolex, the world’s largest luxury watch brand. It consists of articles that have appeared in WatchTime magazine. Two articles by WatchTime executive editor Norma Buchanan recount her visits to Rolex’s facilities in Geneva and Bienne. A follow-up article by technical editor Mike Disher describes Rolex’s subsequent expansion of the Bienne facility. A fourth article, also by Disher, provides definitions of the technical terms Rolex uses to describe its watches. All of the articles are reproduced as they originally appeared in WatchTime.
