Ολοι αντιγραφουν την Ρολεξ και τους Ελβετους ;
In 1931 Hardwood’s hammer winding mechanism suffered competition from a newly-invented rotor movement that would wind a watch on a 360 degree movement. This rotor movement was first introduced in the Rolex Oyster Perpetuals.
The competition sparked international coverage, with disagreements about the inventor of the self-winding watch. Rolex subsequently apologised in 1956, giving John Harwood full credit as the inventor of the world’s first automatic wristwatch with a portrait of him used in Rolex’s future advertisement.
Despite Hardwood inventing the automatic wristwatch, it’s been widely noted that Rolex improved the design with the rotor movement due to its 360° unidirectional winding. A movement still seen in modern automatics of today.
