Hans Wilsdorf: The Visionary Behind Rolex's Global Prestige

Luxury and sophistication can be used to define Rolex. The history of the brand embodies more than just timepieces; it is a story of endurance, innovation, and tireless striving for perfection. This narrative revolves around an orphan named Hans Wilsdorf who revolutionized watchmaking. In this post, we will explore about Wilsdorf’s life, how he started Rolex, and the transformation of the brand into a world-famous icon.

Hans Wilsdorf’s Childhood

On the 22nd of March 1881, Kulmbach region of Germany was gifted a son by the name of Hans Wilsdorf. The family had a business that sold metals, particularly iron things but it was not big enough to support them for long. However, things moved from bad to worse since his mother died on 1892 then exactly one year after, he lost his father too leaving him as an orphan at the age of just twelve years.

After being orphaned, Hans found himself under the guardianship of his uncles, who had to sell the family enterprise in order to finance their education. They placed him in a prestigious boarding facility in Bavaria which at first made him feel resentful. In addition, he felt alone and was often laughed at because of the religion he practiced; these made him direct all his frustration into his academics, excelling mostly in Mathematics and languages.

Consequently, his fluency in languages especially French and English played an important role in shaping his future career. During his school years, he had made friends with a Swiss boy who told him about La Chaux-de-Fonds, a renowned city for its watch-making tradition. This would later awaken Hans’s interest for timepieces setting a foundation for his ambitions.

From Orphan to Entrepreneur

Initially he wanted to become a businessman and gravitated towards Geneva where he found his first job data entry operator in a company exporting pearls.

In 1900, Hans received an offer to work for Kuno Korten, a watchmaking firm of La Chaux-de-Fonds. He accepted the position as an English correspondent, where he gained vast details about doing watches and all about this field.

For military duty, he was summoned to Germany again after two years. In London, he started working for another famous watch manufacturer when his service was over. During this time, he met Florence Frances May Crotty who would become his wife.

Rolex Has Been Born

In 1905, Wilsdorf along with his brother-in-law named Alfred James Davis founded Wilsdorf & Davis Limited. They imported Swiss watch movements and then put them inside shells made in England. This step marked the foundation of Rolex even though the name would come later in several years.

Originally, wristwatches were seen as ladies’ accessories and not anything of precision worth. Wilsdorf had faith in wristwatches as he thought that this was going to be a replacement for pocket analogue watches. In 1908, he patented the name “Rolex” which was short and appealing in terms of pronunciation across different languages.

Challenges and Triumphs

When World War I began, different sectors including Rolex were affected negatively. Nevertheless, in case of practicality required by soldiers, they opted for wristwatches rather than these conventional clocks. At the end of the First World War, Rolex was known as a reliable brand that produced precise time devices.

Wilsdorf relocated the company’s headquarters from Britain to Bienne, Switzerland in order to avoid the high export duties that the British government imposed on it during this year (2014). Rolex then began concentrating on manufacturing and innovation, which led to its invention of the first water-resistant wristwatch known as Rolex Oyster introduced in 1926.

Hans Wilsdorf’s Marketing Ingenuity

Wilsdorf was not only a watchmaker; he was also an exceptional marketeer. He recognized the importance of brand appreciation and publicity in business. Following Mercedes Gleitze’s successful swimming across English Channel while putting on Rolex Oyster, he took advantage of that moment to advertise the watch’s water resistance features. This incident made Rolex very popular instantly, making it more demanded than before.

In 1931, Wilsdorf continued to revolutionize the watch industry with the launch of Oyster Perpetual, which was the very first self-winding wristwatch ever made. His marketing approach involved collaborating with renowned figures such as named celebrities and athletes who further elevated its fame thus making it a highly sought after timepiece.

Rolex During The Time Post World War II

The period after World War II marked a period of high demand for Rolex products. Its iconic models such as Datejust and Day-Date made it more luxurious than most brands. In 1953, Rolex unveiled Submariner, its pioneering diving watch that could withstand pressures under water down to 100 meters. This illustrated their pledge to continuous creations when it comes to watches without compromising on their quality.

Hans Wilsdorf: His Legacy

Even though Hans Wilsdorf died in 1960, his influence lives on. He set up the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, transferring all his ownership in Rolex to it, and it is presently running the company. This rare structure guarantees that Rolex stays as a private business devoid of the pressures associated with public ownership.

The success of Rolex as one of the world’s most famous and sought-after watch brands has been attributed to Wilsdorf’s vision and commitment to quality. From being an orphan boy to becoming a giant in the watchmaking industry; this man’s life is an example that hard work pays off and new ideas do work.

Rolex Today

Presently, Rolex remains a mark of achievement and status. The brand keeps developing new ideas even as it stays faithful to its notion of quality. Rolex timepieces are not merely watches; they are life’s inheritance that symbolizes great achievements.

Hans Wilsdorf’s life story and the chronology behind Rolex are pointers for upcoming business people. It reminds us that through perseverance, dreaming big and having creative ideas, one can rise above challenges and come up with something extraordinary.

Military (Field) Saatler

Military saatlere karşı gittikçe artan bir ilgim var. Yalınlık, kolay okunurluk ve sağlamlık gibi özelliklerinin yanı sıra şimdiye kadar hiçbir saatimde kullanmadığım kronograf özelliklerinin olmaması da bu saatlere olan ilgimi artırıyor. Karmaşık, fonksiyonlarla dolu, iri saatlerin modasının geçmekte olduğunu belirtmeliyim.

Military saatlerin bireysel kol saati tarihinde çok büyük bir önemi ve yeri var. Günümüz dünyasının pek çok unsurunu şekillendirmiş olan II. Dünya Savaşı kol saatleri kültürünün de oluşup yaygınlaşmasında büyük pay sahibi olmuş. Dönemin askerleri için üretilen saatler "Military Watch" kavramını ortaya çıkarmış. Kadranları son derece yalın ve indisleri de genelde fosforlu olan bu "tool watch" kategorisine bu nedenle askeri saat deniyor. Buradaki önemli detaylardan biri de genelde saat rakamlarının da bu kadranlarda kullanılıyor olması. Muhtemelen kulağa militarist gelen bu tanım zamanla "Field Watch" olarak güncelleniyor.

Bu konuda daha sonra "Nato Kayışlar" ile ilgili de yazacağım. Öncesinde kategoriyi temsil etmesini arzu ettiğim, görseldeki saatten bahsetmek isterim. Gördüğünüz model 2022 yılında revize edilip piyasaya sürülen yeni Tudor Ranger 39 mm. Rolex'in kardeş şirketi olan Tudor, Rolex gibi Hans Wilsdorf Foundation'a ait. Tudor bazı modellerinde Rolex parçaları kullanmasıyla da biliniyor. Ancak bu model safkan bir in-house model yani makinesi de Tudor tarafından üretilmiş.

Hem metal bilezik hem de deri hem de Nato kayış seçenekleri olan bu saat bence kategorinin en pahalı modellerinden biri olan Rolex Explorer'dan daha çekici ve özgün bir model.

Bu kategoriye ilgi duyanların mutlaka incelemesi gereken, beğendiğim modeller ise bence şunlar:

Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical - Bu modeli güzel kılan kompakt olması ve elle kurulur bir model olması. Bu da saate farklı bir deneyim

Hamilton Khaki Field Murph - Nolan'ın Interstellar filminde babanın kızına Mors alfabesiyle hayatın anlamını (!) yolladığı bozuk saat. Hiçbir bozuk saat Murph kadar ünlü olmamıştır sanırım.

IWC Spitfire - İri saatleri ve pilot dünyasına olan yakınlığıyla öne çıkan IWC'nin tasarım ve ölçüleriyle çok ideal bir modeli.

Seiko Prospex Alpinist (SPB121) - Japon dağcıların Alpler'de yapacakları tırmanışlar için üretilmiş ama saat meraklıları tarafından çok beğenilmiş bir model.

Timex Expedition Scout - Quartz, ekonomik ve rahat. Pahalı military saatinizi takamayacağınız her yere rahatça takabileceğiniz, ucuz ama yakışıklı saat.

Bulova Hack - Markanın ne yaptığı, neye dönüştüğü biraz kafa karıştırsa da tasarımındaki sadeliği ve military köklere bağlılığıyla beğendiğim bir saat.

Longines Heritage Military - Günümüzde Longines'in ultra geniş saat koleksiyonunu "heritage" adında ısıtıp ısıtıp önümüze yeniden getirmesi biraz sıkmaya başlasa da, vintage kültürünün büyüdüğü bir ortamda bu modele kayıtsız kalamadım.

Omega Railmaster - Cephe değil sahada savaşan demiryolları personeli için üretilmiş bir model. Bence oldukça iyi bir field watch.

Bugünlük bu konuyu burada keselim. Nato kayışlarla ilgili yazıda bu konuya tekrar döneriz.

Almost defiantly simplistic, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual could be seen as the purest distillation of everything the brand’s founder Hans Wilsdorf wanted to achieve – the creation of the definitive Swiss-made wristwatch. This is Rolex at its most pure – incredibly well-made, democratically priced and with a design that manages to be both contemporary and timeless. It’s also technically the entry point to the Rolex world, less than half the price of the famous Daytona and at least £1,000 cheaper than the Submariner or GMT. Just don’t mistake the Oyster Perpetual for anything less than stellar mechanical matchmaking. “They are real Rolex watches through and through,” says Stephen Pulvirent, managing editor at watch website Hodinkee, “and shouldn’t be viewed as a compromise or lesser watch when compared to other models across the collections.” The Story Of The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Although Oyster Perpetual may seem a bit of an overly floral collection name, those two words are actually the description of its origins. The Oyster part refers to the world’s first water- and dust-proof wristwatch, which Rolex launched in 1926. Legend has it that Wilsdorf thought of the name while trying to open said mollusc at a dinner party; he figured his new case design was as hard to open as the shell in his hand and, similarly, needed special tools to do so. The second half of the name is a nod to the self-winding movement Rolex invented in 1931, so named because it was powered by the perpetual motion of the wrist. As Rolex’s collection expanded, the name ceased to refer to one specific collection and instead became a prefix, on to which the likes of Explorer, DateJust, Day Date, Daytona, Yacht-Master and Milgauss were attached. Oyster Perpetual denoted the watch’s water-resistance and automatic movement, while the second name alluded to the added extras such as a distinctive 24-hour hand on the 1971 Explorer II, a watch designed for cave and polar explorers who need to know whether it’s day or night. Or regatta chronographs as in the case of the 2007 Yacht-Master II. The un-suffixed Oyster Perpetual collection, with its simple three-hand design, remains the most affordable (and some would say wearable) watch in the Rolex collection. Modern Iterations Until very recently, due to its more diminutive sizings – 26/31/34/36mm – the Oyster Perpetual collection’s primary audience was women. While there were some Rolex aficionados who loved the 34 and 36mm for their vintage proportions, for most men it was just too small. Then, in 2015, the 39mm was announced. Unsurprisingly, the watch world was very happy about this. Hodinkee’s founder Ben Clymer called them “simply superb but understated pieces that offer incredible versatility without costing a fortune, or showing off too much”. They got even more euphoric in 2018 when Rolex finally went full basic and added a black and a white dial across the five sizes. The Design Given that there are quite a few luxury watches around now that owe a debt to the Oyster Perpetual – hi, Omega – it would be easy to dismiss the design as simply bordering on bland. However, that’s a bit like thinking Curb Your Enthusiasm looks a bit cliched now because its verité style has been pushed into the mainstream. The Oyster Perpetual that was launched in 1931 still looks markedly similar to what Rolex is producing today and, when seen alongside styles unveiled around the same time, such as Longines’ Lindbergh Hour Angle and Patek Philippe’s Calatrava (1931 and 1932 respectively) it looks almost revolutionarily modern. The details that stood out then are still there now – the curved lines of the outer case hugging the round bezel, the slim lugs, the polished lines, and brushed flat surfaces. The seconds sub-dial may have gone, there are certainly more dial color and indices options than there were in 1931 and the leather bracelet has been replaced with steel, but Wilsdorf would have no trouble recognizing today’s Oyster Perpetual. How To Wear It Reviewing the 2015 release for Monochrome Watches, Brice Goulard said the “Rolex Oyster Perpetual sits right in the middle of two main types of watches. It’s neither a dress watch nor a sports watch. We like to call it a casual watch. It’s like a Levi’s 501. You can mix it with your ugliest grey hoodie or with a white shirt. The same goes for the Oyster Perpetual. You can wear it during weekends with a pair of sneakers or during the week with your suit and tie.” While we agree that it is close to the perfect all-rounder, there is something about it being steel on steel that makes it lean more towards a more care-free weekend style. It’s Armie Hammer dancing to Psychedelic Furs’ ‘Love My Way’ in Call Me By Your Name – all Converse hi-tops, blousy shirts, and almost-too-short shorts. Or a Cuban-shirted Leonardo DiCaprio brooding around Verona Beach in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. Louche but with a touch of the practical. Oyster Perpetual Iterations While there are around 30 iterations of the Oyster Perpetual, chances are you’re not going to be interested in a 26mm with the purple dial, so here are the options a modern man should check out first. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 116000 While the real Rolex sticklers will say that 34mm is the correct option because that was the size of the original, it’s just too small for most men. However, if you want to channel that vintage feel in a more substantial case size then the 36mm with blue dial is perfect. It has a similar numerical configuration as the original, while the dial shade gives it a 1960s feel. Team with relaxed linens in tonal beige for a slice of Riviera cool. Buy Now Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 114300 (Dark Rhodium Dial) There were three dial colors that heralded the introduction of the 39mm Oyster Perpetual back in 2015 but this was the one that got even Rolex naysayers reaching for their wallet. The use of rhodium grey adds a touch of menacing elegance to an otherwise sporty watch. If there is an argument for wearing your Oyster Perpetual with a suit then this version is the closing statement. Buy Now Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 114300 (White Dial) White dial Rolexes are rare – a detail that only adds to the wow factor of this new 39mm Oyster Perpetual. Rather than opting for the white of a Hollywood A-lister’s teeth, this is something softer and more subtle, complementing the steel perfectly. If you’re embracing the Cuban collar shirt trend this season, then this exercise in restraint is the ideal foil. Buy Now The Movement There are three movements used across the Oyster Perpetual family, and all are in-house, self-winding (obviously), and COSC-certified. Of the three – 2231 for the 26 and 31mm, 3130 for the 34 and 36mm, and 3132 for the 39mm – it is 3130 and 3132 that have been enhanced with some flourishes of Rolex tech-wizardry. Both of them feature the Parachrom hairspring, which Rolex first introduced in 2000 in the 4130 movement used in the Cosmograph Daytona. It uses an alloy developed by Rolex to overcome the weaknesses of ferromagnetic hairsprings that were available at the time. Its instantly recognizable blue color is thanks to a surface treatment process, which enhances long-term stability. The 3132 has the added bonus of Rolex’s patented Paraflex shock absorber. First used in 2005, it replaced the KIF shock absorption system – a common system developed in the 1930s, which is identified by a golden three- or four-leaf clover-shaped spring clip around a ruby at the top of the balance. According to Rolex, its new Paraflex system absorbs 50% more shock and is easier to manufacture and service. This is great news if your weekends incorporate some form of extreme sport. The Build Quality When it comes to the case construction of the Oyster Perpetual, not much has changed over the decades. This is solid, reliable watchmaking from the best in the business. The original was comprised of three parts: the central case, which includes the lugs, and a separate case-back and bezel, both of which are screw-on. A metal ring, with external screwed threads, holds the movement, dial, and hands. This ring has a hole at 3 o’clock and a pin at 9 so that, when the ring is inserted into the case body, the pin fits into a matching hole in the case, while the crown and winding stem are fitted into the hole. The bezel and case back are then screwed into place. Modern Oyster cases feature a middle case made from a solid block of either steel, 18ct gold, or platinum, a screwed-down fluted case back, friction-fitted sapphire crystal, and bezel. To ensure optimum water resistance, Rolex has developed its own patented winding crowns – the Twinlock or the Triplock. The Twinlock, which is used for the Oyster Perpetual and is denoted by a dash or two dots underneath the Rolex logo on the crown, is water-resistant to 100m and uses two rubber gaskets. One gasket is positioned inside the crown and compresses against a threaded tube attached to the case. The other gasket is found inside the watch tube. Between the two of them, they keep water and dust from getting into the movement even when the crown isn’t screwed in properly. The Triplock – denoted with three dots under the logo – works in a similar fashion but with a larger case tube and four rubber gaskets, the first of which is visible when the crown is unscrewed. The strap has changed very little too, aside from the obvious move away from leather to a bracelet. The flat three-piece link construction was introduced in the late 1930s and remains an integral part of the collection today, with the only concession to progress being the more robust clasp – patented, of course. Otherwise, you don’t mess with the classics. Source link

Just don’t mistake the Oyster Perpetual for anything less than stellar mechanical matchmaking. “They are real Rolex watches through and through,” says Stephen Pulvirent, managing editor at watch website Hodinkee, “and shouldn’t be viewed as a compromise or lesser watch when compared to other models across the collections.” The Story Of The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Although Oyster Perpetual may seem a bit of an overly floral collection name, those two words are actually the description of its origins. The Oyster part refers to the world’s first water- and dust-proof wristwatch, which Rolex launched in 1926. Legend has it that Wilsdorf thought of the name while trying to open said mollusc at a dinner party; he figured his new case design was as hard to open as the shell in his hand and, similarly, needed special tools to do so. The second half of the name is a nod to the self-winding movement Rolex invented in 1931, so named because it was powered by the perpetual motion of the wrist. As Rolex’s collection expanded, the name ceased to refer to one specific collection and instead became a prefix, on to which the likes of Explorer, DateJust, Day Date, Daytona, Yacht-Master and Milgauss were attached. Oyster Perpetual denoted the watch’s water-resistance and automatic movement, while the second name alluded to the added extras such as a distinctive 24-hour hand on the 1971 Explorer II, a watch designed for cave and polar explorers who need to know whether it’s day or night. Or regatta chronographs as in the case of the 2007 Yacht-Master II. The un-suffixed Oyster Perpetual collection, with its simple three-hand design, remains the most affordable (and some would say wearable) watch in the Rolex collection. Modern Iterations Until very recently, due to its more diminutive sizings – 26/31/34/36mm – the Oyster Perpetual collection’s primary audience was women. While there were some Rolex aficionados who loved the 34 and 36mm for their vintage proportions, for most men it was just too small. Then, in 2015, the 39mm was announced. Unsurprisingly, the watch world was very happy about this. Hodinkee’s founder Ben Clymer called them “simply superb but understated pieces that offer incredible versatility without costing a fortune, or showing off too much”. They got even more euphoric in 2018 when Rolex finally went full basic and added a black and a white dial across the five sizes. The Design Given that there are quite a few luxury watches around now that owe a debt to the Oyster Perpetual – hi, Omega – it would be easy to dismiss the design as simply bordering on bland. However, that’s a bit like thinking Curb Your Enthusiasm looks a bit cliched now because its verité style has been pushed into the mainstream. The Oyster Perpetual that was launched in 1931 still looks markedly similar to what Rolex is producing today and, when seen alongside styles unveiled around the same time, such as Longines’ Lindbergh Hour Angle and Patek Philippe’s Calatrava (1931 and 1932 respectively) it looks almost revolutionarily modern. The details that stood out then are still there now – the curved lines of the outer case hugging the round bezel, the slim lugs, the polished lines, and brushed flat surfaces. The seconds sub-dial may have gone, there are certainly more dial color and indices options than there were in 1931 and the leather bracelet has been replaced with steel, but Wilsdorf would have no trouble recognizing today’s Oyster Perpetual. How To Wear It Reviewing the 2015 release for Monochrome Watches, Brice Goulard said the “Rolex Oyster Perpetual sits right in the middle of two main types of watches. It’s neither a dress watch nor a sports watch. We like to call it a casual watch. It’s like a Levi’s 501. You can mix it with your ugliest grey hoodie or with a white shirt. The same goes for the Oyster Perpetual. You can wear it during weekends with a pair of sneakers or during the week with your suit and tie.” While we agree that it is close to the perfect all-rounder, there is something about it being steel on steel that makes it lean more towards a more care-free weekend style. It’s Armie Hammer dancing to Psychedelic Furs’ ‘Love My Way’ in Call Me By Your Name – all Converse hi-tops, blousy shirts, and almost-too-short shorts. Or a Cuban-shirted Leonardo DiCaprio brooding around Verona Beach in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. Louche but with a touch of the practical. Oyster Perpetual Iterations While there are around 30 iterations of the Oyster Perpetual, chances are you’re not going to be interested in a 26mm with the purple dial, so here are the options a modern man should check out first. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 116000 While the real Rolex sticklers will say that 34mm is the correct option because that was the size of the original, it’s just too small for most men. However, if you want to channel that vintage feel in a more substantial case size then the 36mm with blue dial is perfect. It has a similar numerical configuration as the original, while the dial shade gives it a 1960s feel. Team with relaxed linens in tonal beige for a slice of Riviera cool. Buy Now Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 114300 (Dark Rhodium Dial) There were three dial colors that heralded the introduction of the 39mm Oyster Perpetual back in 2015 but this was the one that got even Rolex naysayers reaching for their wallet. The use of rhodium grey adds a touch of menacing elegance to an otherwise sporty watch. If there is an argument for wearing your Oyster Perpetual with a suit then this version is the closing statement. Buy Now Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 114300 (White Dial) White dial Rolexes are rare – a detail that only adds to the wow factor of this new 39mm Oyster Perpetual. Rather than opting for the white of a Hollywood A-lister’s teeth, this is something softer and more subtle, complementing the steel perfectly. If you’re embracing the Cuban collar shirt trend this season, then this exercise in restraint is the ideal foil. Buy Now The Movement There are three movements used across the Oyster Perpetual family, and all are in-house, self-winding (obviously), and COSC-certified. Of the three – 2231 for the 26 and 31mm, 3130 for the 34 and 36mm, and 3132 for the 39mm – it is 3130 and 3132 that have been enhanced with some flourishes of Rolex tech-wizardry. Both of them feature the Parachrom hairspring, which Rolex first introduced in 2000 in the 4130 movement used in the Cosmograph Daytona. It uses an alloy developed by Rolex to overcome the weaknesses of ferromagnetic hairsprings that were available at the time. Its instantly recognizable blue color is thanks to a surface treatment process, which enhances long-term stability. The 3132 has the added bonus of Rolex’s patented Paraflex shock absorber. First used in 2005, it replaced the KIF shock absorption system – a common system developed in the 1930s, which is identified by a golden three- or four-leaf clover-shaped spring clip around a ruby at the top of the balance. According to Rolex, its new Paraflex system absorbs 50% more shock and is easier to manufacture and service. This is great news if your weekends incorporate some form of extreme sport. The Build Quality When it comes to the case construction of the Oyster Perpetual, not much has changed over the decades. This is solid, reliable watchmaking from the best in the business. The original was comprised of three parts: the central case, which includes the lugs, and a separate case-back and bezel, both of which are screw-on. A metal ring, with external screwed threads, holds the movement, dial, and hands. This ring has a hole at 3 o’clock and a pin at 9 so that, when the ring is inserted into the case body, the pin fits into a matching hole in the case, while the crown and winding stem are fitted into the hole. The bezel and case back are then screwed into place. Modern Oyster cases feature a middle case made from a solid block of either steel, 18ct gold, or platinum, a screwed-down fluted case back, friction-fitted sapphire crystal, and bezel. To ensure optimum water resistance, Rolex has developed its own patented winding crowns – the Twinlock or the Triplock. The Twinlock, which is used for the Oyster Perpetual and is denoted by a dash or two dots underneath the Rolex logo on the crown, is water-resistant to 100m and uses two rubber gaskets. One gasket is positioned inside the crown and compresses against a threaded tube attached to the case. The other gasket is found inside the watch tube. Between the two of them, they keep water and dust from getting into the movement even when the crown isn’t screwed in properly. The Triplock – denoted with three dots under the logo – works in a similar fashion but with a larger case tube and four rubber gaskets, the first of which is visible when the crown is unscrewed. The strap has changed very little too, aside from the obvious move away from leather to a bracelet. The flat three-piece link construction was introduced in the late 1930s and remains an integral part of the collection today, with the only concession to progress being the more robust clasp – patented, of course. Otherwise, you don’t mess with the classics. Source link

Blixa Bargeld (heute im Jahr 1959 geboren), Deutscher Musiker

Blixa Bargeld (* 12. Januar 1959 in West-Berlin als Hans-Christian Emmerich) ist ein deutscher Musiker, Performance-Künstler, Komponist, Autor und Schauspieler. Er ist Frontmann der Band Einstürzende Neubauten und Gründungsmitglied der Band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, in der er bis 2003 als Gitarrist tätig war. Sein Pseudonym ist eine Reverenz an den dadaistischen Künstler Johannes Theodor Baargeld. Der Vorname stammt von einer Faserstiftmarke. Nachdem seine Frau Erin ihren Nachnamen offiziell von Zhu in den Künstlernamen Bargeld hatte ändern lassen, übernahm er diesen und heißt seither bürgerlich Christian Bargeld, verwendet aber öffentlich ausschließlich den Künstlervornamen Blixa. Bargeld wuchs im westlichen Teil Berlins auf, wo er im Ortsteil Friedenau das Paul-Natorp-Gymnasium besuchte. 1980 wurde er als Gründer und Sänger der Gruppe Einstürzende Neubauten bekannt. Von 1984 bis 2003 war er Gitarrist der Band Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Er galt auch als Mitorganisator des Festivals Genialer Dilletanten. Darüber hinaus veröffentlichte er zwei Soloalben. 1987 trat er als Mitglied von Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds in Wim Wenders’ Film Der Himmel über Berlin auf. 1988 spielte er in dem Spielfilm Nihil, oder alle Zeit der Welt von Uli M Schueppel eine erste Hauptrolle. Ende der 1990er Jahre spielte er einen pyromanischen Sadisten in einem RTL-Krimi mit Iris Berben. Weiterhin war er 1996 im Film Die totale Therapie in einer Hauptrolle als Psychotherapie-Guru zu sehen.

1996 entstand der Kurzfilm Blixa Bargeld Stole My Cowboy Boots mit Michael Imperioli in der Hauptrolle, in dem Bargeld allerdings nicht selbst auftrat. 1999 wurde Bargeld für den US-Spielfilm Die Mumie verpflichtet. In dem Film hat er als Teil des „sound-designs“ das „mummy growling“ übernommen, ist also für die Mumien-Äußerungen (Schreien, Zischen usw.) verantwortlich. Bargeld war auch in Werbespots für die Baumarktkette Hornbach tätig. 1990 führte er zusammen mit Wolfgang Rindfleisch Regie für das Hörspiel Hamletmaschine, basierend auf Heiner Müllers Stück Die Hamletmaschine, mit Regieanweisungen gesprochen von Heiner Müller, Ophelia: Gudrun Gut, Musik: Einstürzende Neubauten (Bargeld, Einheit, Unruh, Hacke, Chung).

Bargeld war an Theaterprojekten von Heiner Müller, Werner Schwab und Peter Zadek beteiligt. Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre tritt Bargeld auch als Solokünstler mit den so genannten Rede/Speech Performances live auf. Dabei wird er oft vom Tonmeister Boris Wilsdorf technisch unterstützt. 2000 erarbeitete er zusammen mit Oliver Augst die Bühnenkompositionen zu Rosa Melonen Schnitt Freude nach Texten von Gertrude Stein und Rom, Blicke von Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, die sie auch gemeinsam live international aufführten. 2001 wirkte er als Sprecher an der Hörspielfassung von Michel Houellebecqs Roman Elementarteilchen mit und steuerte in gemeinschaftlicher Arbeit mit dem Komponisten Jan Tilman Schade die Musik bei. 2005 inszenierte er für die Salzburger Festspiele Warten auf die Barbaren von J. M. Coetzee.

Bargeld war 30 Jahre lang bekennender Vegetarier, bis er seiner Frau zuliebe wieder mit dem Fleischessen anfing. Er ist mit der Mathematikerin Erin Zhu verheiratet, das Paar hat einen Sohn.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqhOVY58zIo "The Weeping Song" is a song by the Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was released as a single from their sixth studio album, The Good Son (1990), on 17 September 1990 by Mute Records. The lyrics take the form of a dialogue between father and son, who alternate lines during the verses while singing together on the choruses. The father's part is sung by Blixa Bargeld of Einstürzende Neubauten, while Cave performs the son's part. Cave recalled the song "came out of nowhere with very little thought", one day while he lived in Brazil and walked from his home to a nearby bar he frequented.

The History and Legacy of Rolex Watches

Rolex is more than just a watch brand—it is a symbol of prestige, innovation, and timeless elegance. Since its founding in 1905, Rolex has redefined watchmaking, introducing groundbreaking technologies and designs that set the standard for luxury timepieces. This article explores Rolex's remarkable history and legacy, tracing its journey from humble beginnings to becoming the most recognized name in horology.

The Birth of a Legacy

The story of Rolex begins with Hans Wilsdorf, a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for precision timekeeping. In 1905, Wilsdorf, along with his brother-in-law Alfred Davis, established Wilsdorf & Davis in London. The company initially specialised in importing Swiss movements and placing them in high-quality cases.

Recognizing the potential for wristwatches to surpass pocket watches in convenience and practicality, Wilsdorf set out to create a brand synonymous with accuracy and reliability. In 1908, he registered the name “Rolex,” chosen for its simplicity and ease of pronunciation in multiple languages.

Key Milestones in Rolex's History

1. The First Certified Chronometer Wristwatch (1910):Rolex made history in 1910 when it received the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, marking the first wristwatch to achieve this recognition. This milestone established Rolex's commitment to accuracy.

2. The Oyster Case (1926):One of Rolex’s most significant innovations, the Oyster case, was introduced in 1926. It was the first waterproof and dustproof watch case, revolutionising durability in wristwatches. To prove its effectiveness, Rolex sent the Oyster on a 10-hour swim across the English Channel in 1927, worn by swimmer Mercedes Gleitze.

3. The Perpetual Movement (1931):Rolex introduced the first self-winding mechanism with a perpetual rotor in 1931. This technology laid the foundation for modern automatic watches, ensuring precision and convenience.

4. The Birth of Iconic Collections:

Rolex Datejust (1945): The first watch to feature an automatically changing date on the dial.

Rolex Submariner (1953): A pioneering dive watch designed for professional divers and underwater exploration.

Rolex Day-Date (1956): The first watch to display both the day and date in full.

Rolex GMT-Master (1955): Created for pilots, this watch offered dual-time zone functionality.

5. Exploration and Endurance:Rolex watches have accompanied explorers to the highest peaks and the deepest oceans. From Sir Edmund Hillary’s Everest ascent in 1953 to the Mariana Trench expedition with the Deep Sea Special, Rolex has consistently proven its resilience in extreme conditions.

Rolex’s Unwavering Commitment to Excellence

Rolex’s success lies in its meticulous attention to detail and relentless pursuit of perfection. Each timepiece is crafted entirely in-house, from the design and development of movements to the production of cases and dials. This vertical integration ensures unparalleled quality and consistency.

The brand’s proprietary materials, such as Oystersteel and Everose gold, further enhance its durability and aesthetic appeal. Rolex also rigorously tests every watch for precision, waterproofing, and robustness, adhering to the highest standards in watchmaking.

Rolex as a Cultural Icon

Over the decades, Rolex has transcended its role as a watchmaker to become a symbol of success and achievement. Its timepieces are worn by world leaders, celebrities, athletes, and adventurers, cementing its place in pop culture and history.

Rolex watches have left an indelible mark on cinema, fashion, and sports, from James Bond's Submariner to Paul Newman's Daytona. They represent a sense of style and a testament to hard work and accomplishment.

Conclusion

Rolex’s enduring legacy is built on a foundation of innovation, precision, and timeless design. From its revolutionary Oyster case to its iconic collections, Rolex has consistently pushed the boundaries of watchmaking. More than a timepiece, a Rolex is a statement of excellence, a reward for success, and a symbol of an enduring legacy.
