HANS WILDORF

Hans Wilsdorf was the German and British founder of watch brands Rolex and Tudor.

His legacy and contribution in the world of Horology is unparalleled as he set up in 1945 “The Hans Wilsdorf Foundation” to ensure the control of Rolex, which it still does until today.

Besides ensuring that his company will survive him, the Foundation is also active in the Geneva area in various social and education areas, mainly to help people who need help and support. In the cultural area it supports various local institutions.
