Exhilarating and ever marvelous the Rolex Air-King is the watch to own.
The ultimate in luxury wristwatches the Rolex Company dates back to around 1905 when Wilsdorf and Davis pioneered their watch Company. The Rolex Air-King dates back to around the 1930s when large watch faces that were held in ones pocket were still the most common form of watch. Wilsdorf was, at this time, determined to invent a watch that would be able to be worn on a person’s wrist. The problem was making the watch small enough to enable it to be worn on the wrist.
By the time this wristwatch was fully perfected Wilsdorf again fascinated the world with his new invention the Rolex Air-King.
