Today, we're breaking down one of the strongest brands in the world, Rolex. Founded in the UK in 1905 under the name Wilsdorf and Davis, Rolex has become the leading name in luxury watches.

To unlock the secrets, we're delighted to be joined by Ben Clymer, the founder of Hodinkee and an expert on all things luxury watches. Ben has had rare access to Rolex and the people behind the manufacturer, making him the perfect person to dissect the business with us. Please enjoy this excellent breakdown of Rolex.
