Rolex
Rolex SA () is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. Originally founded as "Wilsdorf and Davis" by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London in 1905, the company registered "Rolex" as the brand name of its watches in 1908. In 1919, the company moved its base of operations to Geneva, Switzerland in order to avoid heavy taxation from a recovering post-war Britain, and "Montres Rolex S.A." was registered as the new company name by Hans Wilsdorf in Geneva in 1920. Since 1960, the company has been owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, a private family trust.
Grand Slam of Show Jumping
As the most famous partner of the equestrian sport for over half a century, Rolex is proud to be part of this historic initiative and to promote top performances in the equestrian sport even more intensively. Rolex has actively been supporting the equestrian sport for years, particularly the three Major shows, which together form the Grand Slam. This is why the organisers invited the Swiss brand to become the exclusive partner.
