Kid Approved Sterling Silver Rolex Travel Clock Next Gen [sMuFIl3r]

A very rare and excellent quality sterling silver mechanical travel clock. This folding, spring travel clock is made by the original founders of Rolex; Hans Wilsdorf & Alfred Davis.

They traded under this name until the tradmark 'Rolex' was registered 1908 in Switzerland, where the company would eventually relocate, from London, in 1919. During these early years of the company, they were focused on importing high quality Swiss made movements into the UK, and then employing high quality case makers in which to house the movements.  These would then be sold on to luxury retailers of the time. 

In this case, none other than the luxury department store 'Harrods' has been added to the dial.  This was certainly London's, and if not the world's, premier retailer of the time.  Truly a very rare piece and stunning piece of horological history.  It has a wonderfully made case, a great example of what Rolex became renowned for.  A, still very tight , spring propels the movement and dial up toward the front of the case, once opened.

The silver is stamped inside and out with W & D maker's marks, and the full set of English assay marks which date the clock to being made in London in 1912.
