EVERY FAMILY HAS A PERSON WHO BREAKS THE CHAIN OF POVERTY. I PRAY YOU BECOME THAT PERSON. LEARN TO INVEST AND KEEP INVESTING UNTIL IT BECOMES A HABIT.

I have 1972 oysters perpetual that originally belonged to my father,He passed onto to me as hi-school graduation present in 81. Even since it is on my wrist every day, I was fortunate enough to buy couple of another one later in life but ‘72 is very special to me. I’m wearing every single day with amazement that 50 years old watch never skip the ticking, still accurate enough ( gets behind 2~3min a month), jubilee band fits so snugly yet securely, it reminds me of my youth and fantastic father I had. I miss him…

"Follow Your Passion" One of the hardest steps in doing this is not letting the ones that You Love change Your mind...
-
His true genius was the Wilsdorf foundation and given them 100% ownership of Rolex. Now they never have to pay taxes again. Incredibly smart and what a legacy to his wife and to himself.

I'm not sure why there is a need to perpetuate the belief that Hans Hanswildorf was some disadvantaged orphan. His parents passed away but he was cared for by his wealthy family. He was given an elite education. It's not like he crawled off the dirt streets of Mogadishu and put Rolex together after a leprosy induced feverish dream.
-
Good for Hans, passion, patience and creativity all served him well, then to leave it all to a charitable foundation. This was a man of high integrity.
-
This guy had wealthy help, great ethics. Smart business tactics.
-
I've worked hard for a company for 25 years and still am not going any further with my life and then you come across stories like this is just amazing 🤩
-
What an innovator, and a brilliant businessman! This is one of the best entrepreneurial stories I've ever heard.
-
Really inspiring story, hats off to the narrator who done his job well
-
Hollywood should make a movie about him and Rolex!
-
Every generation has it's own Steve Jobses. People who disrupt an entire industry with new ways of building products. Hans was one of them.
-
Tremendous man..! My Rolex Sea Dweller DRSD 1974 is 50 years old and is like new...works perfectly. it changed colour from white to Pumpkin by the years. Beautifull vintage collector example
-
Wow this compelling story has inspired me to work hard for anything I wish to achieve. I give many kudos and thanks to Hans for creating the ultimate watch. Man owning the world’s universally beloved watch Rolex would be cool but the problem is that they cost a fortune and they are really hard and rare to find.
-
I always wanted one and was very proud when I was able to purchase one. A watch for life.
-
A marvelous inventor who overcame all disadvantage and became a legend by sheer effort and dedication.
-
I have heard many successful stories Of two people meeting at the right time and creating something....TIMELESS What a designer 👏 😍
-
Amazing true story! Passion, determination, discipline and hard work. Love it.
-
3 P's : Passion, perserverance and patience.Thanks for this upload. Very interesting insights. He overcame so many obstacles. He is so so wise. He even takes steps to set up a foundation and legally ensures "greed" will never ever destroy his hard work. Another MOVER and SHAKER
-
I've actually always been curious myself and an admirer of his work. But never knew his or their story. Thanks for this upload. Very interesting. But great rags to riches story. That's the best earned wealth a person can find financially.
