How did an orphaned German immigrant transform obsolete mechanical watches into a $100B+ empire? From the first waterproof Oyster to James Bond's Submariner, we look at the paradoxes behind Rolex's legendary success story.
I like Rolex's old theme music. Anyone know where I can find it? Their new advertising campaign, which I saw during the French Open, is interesting. It ends with "Reach for the Crown" - reaching is exactly how I feel every time I ask my AD if any are available for purchase. The allocation process is as secretive as the company. By the way, which U.S. presidents wore a DayDate other than Johnson (I know Kennedy had one for a few minutes)?
I have sent you an email regarding the book
Got it - image now updated. Thanks for the correction!
For people who read this later... I had used an Amazon image for the book which was a placeholder, and the post now shows the correct image.
I’ve become a huge fan of acquired after listening to this episode. 4 hours flies by in a flash
