Rolex built a global empire crowning the Day-Date as "The President's Watch," but history tells a different story.
Long before Rolex claimed the title, a quiet Swiss watchmaker solved an engineering problem that baffled horologists for over a century: putting a loud, reliable mechanical alarm inside a wristwatch.
