They also sold to the jewelers with printed name W&D on the case inside. Independent jewelers were allowed to place their names and tags on the dial. It was 1908 when Wilsdorf registered a trademark “Rolex” and started office in Switzerland. In a short time period of only six years, the company was well established. Wilsdorf left United Kingdom because of the heavy tax duty on gold and silver in wartime. He moved to Geneva, Switzerland and renamed it with Rolex Watch Company.
