For a long time, the horological world looked at " Bloggers", as Alien outsiders, but obviously that has changed over the years, as the internet has become more prevalent. Also, when Benjamin and Ariel and I began our respective online horological magazine/blogs, we had no idea if they would even be around a year or two later, and we were all simply driven by our passion for sharing stories about watches. It is interesting to note that Benjamin, and Ariel and I have a lot in common, in the sense the three of us all started our online magazine/blogs around the same time in 2008. The four of us are pictured above during our Rolex tour, at the Rolex World Headquarters in Geneva, and we all loved every moment and had nothing but fun together!
I spent two and a half days in Switzerland with James Dowling of Timezone, Benjamin Clymer from Hodinkee, and Ariel Adams of A Blog To Watch, taking a most comprehensive tour of all four Rolex manufacturing facilities from A to Zed. Jake Ehrlich, James Dowling, Benjamin Clymer, and Ariel Adams on Novem(, ,, and ) Exploring this hallowed ground was not only a privilege but also an absolute pleasure!!! From what I understand there are very, very few people in history who have been invited to tour all four Rolex facilities, and I was selected as of one of four internet writers chosen for this amazing unprecedented inaugural opportunity. Rolex has historically been extremely protective, secretive, cloistered and discreet when it comes to sharing insight about how it works with the outside world.
(No Pun Intended -)Īs a result of my in-depth Rolex tour, I am able to offer an unparalleled look inside Rolex to see what makes Rolex actually tick. Recently things changed, as Rolex of Geneva invited me to tour all four of their major manufacturing and administrative facilities located in Switzerland, so this represents the first time I am able to share my perspective from inside the Rolex fishbowl. I have spent the last seven years sharing amazing Rolex history and insight with my readers from an outside-the-fishbowl perspective.
