\u2018Since its inception over a century ago, Rolex has defined the steady progress made by the wristwatch to become the essential lifestyle accessory that it is today. The Submariner represents the essence of this design-led approach, its emblematic features and quintessential appearance sculpted over decades by those pioneers who led the field in underwater exploration and continue to illuminate our world beneath the waves, many of whom are featured in this richly illustrated book.<\/p>\n

\u2018As a historian with a lifelong obsession with watches I was delighted and excited to be given unique access to the Rolex archives and flattered and honoured to be invited to set down in print the first authorised accounts of timepieces that have helped shape history. I am very grateful to Rolex for having placed its trust in me to be the one to write its story. It is a fascinating tale, to which I have tried to do justice\u2019 \u2013 Nicholas Foulkes, Author<\/p>\n
