I get asked by friends, who knew about this project before launching (and while fascinated with the commitment) why the trouble? Who needs another gallery of Rolex celebrity owners?
It started as a hobby, collecting pictures of iconic Rolex owners: Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Che Guevara, that led to categories, a webpage, ultimately resulting in this comprehensive collection, with 700 pictures and counting, of celebrity owners, their feats and biographies.
I suppose the honest answer is that looking at these pictures (the one that started it all below) made me interested in the Rolex history (many firsts in the watch industry) and realize it could be an inspiration to other.
This is a blog to talk watches, share research (not only for Rolex), purchase decisions.
I'm not an expert, just an enthusiast.
Thank you.
