The famous Kew "A" Cetificate, proof thu a
world's most movement has passed the sizingent tests with flying colours,* Although the National Physical Laboratory (background) Bir now at Teddington, these cenificates are sul called by the name of the original famous foundation.
An achievement that startled the most exacting craftsmen
KNOWN the world over as the ultimate authority on the testing of timepieces, Kew. Observatory in England recorded in 1950 results that startled the most exacting, the most blase craftsmen in our industry.
Rolex entered more than 100 of their men's small watches (23.7 mm. in "disineter) "for" -chronometer testing-for testing that is usually given only to large chronometers. The
movements were to be subjected, in company with large chronometers, to the most stringent · tests in the world. The experts were dubious; but Rolex were confident..
For 44 days, in five positions and at three temperatures, those watches were tested. And when their points were totalled, men connected with the watch industry could hardly believe their eyes.
The incredible number of 140 Rolex ́movements had qualified for — and was awarded →→ the precious, coveted Kew 'A' Certificate.
The Rofer Datejust—the peak of kölex par- fection. Projected, by the Oyster care, powered. with silent efficiency, by the Rotex - Perpetual self-winding "Rotor," in automatically and clearly records the date in a window on the dial.
The full force of this achievement becomes cleaver when you realize that the smaller the watch movement the more difficult it is to attain the accuracy necessary to pass such stringent tests originally designed for chronometers of far greater diameter.
For watches so small to be so good means only one. thing-that the best of workmanship and the highest technical skill go into them. And it is this standard that makes Rolex the world's first wrist-chronometer.
*The first wrist-watch ever to pass the Kew 'A'; Observatory test was a small II ligno Rolex. This happened as long ago 1014.
