How about posting a link to the article you're referring to rather than just the website.

I clicked on the Photo of Wilsdorf and was taken to a list of quotes by famous people.

There's only one thing missing in the article and that's the mysterious appearance of A. Heineger as the new leader of Rolex in 1963.

Out of the blue he arrives from South America and takes over the whole imperium.

Any thoughts?

I guess Rolex history isn't that interesting?
