Coming soon to newsstands, issue 190 (August/September) of L'Orologio. A special issue, dedicated to Rolex enthusiasts. Inside, an unmissable article: the reportage on the production of the crowned company's watches.
Thirteen years after our last visit to Rolex, we entered three of the company's four production sites for you, where we were able to observe and study the manufacturing process of Oyster watches and admire the famous quality control, which enables the manufacture to churn out around one million pieces per year (a figure that is by no means official, but only estimated), keeping it at the top of the watchmaking industry.
This unmissable in-depth analysis is joined by the cover article, dedicated to the new Explorer and Submariner Date 116610LV, already nicknamed "Hulk" by collectors. We also talk about the latter in our column "A collector's future" and always about Rolex in our usual appointment with "Technical Examples", dedicated to the calibre 4130 of the Cosmograph Daytona.
But the passion for fine watchmaking does not only live on Rolex. Discerning enthusiasts will like the report on one of the most interesting events organised by L'Orologio Club: the visit to Jaeger-LeCoultre, where we accompanied no less than five enthusiastic members. To join the Club and take advantage of the same opportunity, simply go to www.orologioclub.it and take advantage of the summer offers, valid until 31 August.
It continues with a rich end-of-summer buying guide for end-of-season holidaymakers, with over 50 watches from 100 to 1,000 euros to show off at the beach, in the mountains, on a boat...
Finally: Richard Mille, de Grisogono, Victorinox and many cultural highlights, from the interview with photographer Mimmo Jodice to the ancient watches of the Arab tradition.
On newsstands in Italy for 7 euros.
