This just came across my feed from GQ:

There are a few inaccuracies in the article, this being the most glaring:
In 1931, it created the modern automatic movement, which winds the watch while it’s on the wearer’s wrist.

Not sure what they mean by a “modern” automatic movement, but I think Harwood went out of business before Rolex sold their first automatic.

What is ironic is that the Rolex office is located on Harwood Street in Dallas.

Enjoy,

Rolex closing the all brands Lititz School due to the opening of the "Rolex Only" school in Dallas 😡.

As you said, a few errors but interesting all the same.

I especially liked their loupes.



Which are now available from an anonymous (except for the name) on-line shop.
