Walking down the terminal at LAX, what a nice surprise. I actually laughed out loud with a big smile. My friends looked at me as if I was crazy.

Yep, quite a few US airports adorn Rolex clocks!!!

Can't remember where it was I took this one..?

I fly out of LAX all the time, I haven't noticed. I must be blind.

Newark, Las Vegas, Miami, and JFK come to mind.

This time dont turn your phone off.

toph · 27 April 2012, 11:05 AM

its the same in Paris CDG, Dubai, Amsterdam schipol too

UW_ike · 27 April 2012, 11:11 AM

I was just at CDG in Paris. First thing I noticed. On the other hand, the Rochester, MN international airport does not have a Rolex clock, but they do have an advertisement for the local AD for Rolex.

oneillba · 27 April 2012, 11:35 AM

Is there an AD at the airport too, or just Rolex clocks?

Dubai...from a travel blogger's site.

Note the extremely rare off-centered ROLEX name!!!

padi56 · 27 April 2012, 08:53 PM

Rolex clocks at airports its called marketing and expect Rolex has to pay quite a high price for the advertising space.

zama · 27 April 2012, 08:57 PM

I was just reading the previous thread on no love for the DSSD, I am guessing you could hang one of those big bad boys up there and nobody would be any the wiser, based on the user feedback

Bowlduck · 27 April 2012, 08:57 PM

But who makes the movement on those?

Well being electronic I would doubt if its Aeglar the Rolex movement maker.

You would be surprised how economical they are compared to TV, event sponsorship, etc.

In mass mktg. the beauty of airport/public space placement ensures millions of impressions across business, pleasure and frequent flyers - with low recurring costs.

77T · 27 April 2012, 10:15 PM

Would this old 1960's battery operated clock movement be a candidate?

Yup, just like every Delta lounge that is plastered with APs.
