Hands-On: The Curious Rolex Land-Dweller
This is not the year I was expecting from Rolex. At Watches & Wonders this year, Rolex took the rare step of introducing something truly novel, not just in the form of a new collection, but also in a new mechanical movement architecture with something called the Dynapulse escapement (which I offer a brief primer…
