Vintage Watches Berlin

Hans Wilsdorf revolutionized watchmaking, not only in a technical sense, but also by marketing them in a way that was quite revolutionary for the time.

He equipped Mercedes Gleitze in 1927 with a Rolex when she made history swimming across the British Channel, proving her own strength and resilience and that of her Rolex as well.

But at that time watches were not the only product that enjoyed advancements, cars were turning from motorized carriages into the vehicles we know today. Limits were pushed, records were broken, and many of them happened at Daytona Beach, Florida.
