Who are the people behind Rolex?
Got to wondering who made Rolex the brand it is today. Who designed all the classic models? Who in marketing came up with those great old ads we all love?
Any good history is appreciated. |

I'm pretty sure Hans Wilsdorf's ideas have influenced even the current models. As to the marketing genius... I'd like to know as well!

I would like to know who the genius designer of the Submariner, GMT, Day Date, and Datejust is and if they are still around.

If you read that Rolex Stiletto Magazine there's an interview with Patrick Heiniger or how ever it's spelt and he attributes a lot of the Branding to his fathers reign as CEO.
By the sounds of it he made a lot of smart calculated decisions to get the company where it is today!
