These two discoveries made the modern wrist-watch possible
The watch you wear on your wrist today is a refined, highly accurate piece of mechanism. But It would not be what it is save for two great horological discoveries. This year marks their Anniversary. Twenty-five yours ago, the Roles "Oyster" case was perfected, twenty years ago, the Rolen "Perpetual" movement.
The old pioneers of horology, dreaming of perfect accuracy in watches, always knew that their ultimate gasi was unattainable until the perfect mechanism it demanded could be proteck-
ed by a really waterproof case, end guarded from the vagaries of hand-wicking by a reliable sall winder. In the Roles "Oyster" case, patented in 1928, we have the first truly waterproof case. In the Rolex "Perpetual”” movement, we have the first truly trustworthy self-winding mechanism.
Proof of their efficiency, il proof were needed, lion in the fact that the waterproof self-winding watch is accepted today as an integral part of our modern life. Genuine advances in watch- making science come at all tos rare intervala ; here are two to which the entire watch Industry owen a debt.
THE ROLEX "OYSTER"
Materialu of all sorts, rubbur, even bil had been used in a vain attempt to make a waterproof watch. It was left to Relax, in 1926, to discovor the simple principle of the self-sealing action of one metal on another, and produce the first truly waterproof watch.
THE ROLEX "PERPETUAL "
A radical and brilliant dapurture from all other attempts at a self-winding watch was the secret of the success of the Rolex "Perpetual". Be fore, the hammus jark principle was used in pocket watches, but the continual jorking of the self-winder as the wearer walked soon told on the mechanism. It was left to Rolex, in 1931, to discover the Rotor, a remi-circle of metal rotating smoothly on an axis, and produce the first - winding wrist-watch which Rolex christened "Perpetual".
