Horological experts to the rescue of classics

Taste is subjective. One person’s ordinary taste can be a work of art for another. Nowhere is this more evident when it comes to the world of horology. This ordinary appendage on the wrist of Homo sapiens has undergone a metamorphosis. The classic Rolex Daytona Oyster Chronograph watch is a perfect example. This elegant manual winding chronograph was introduced in 1955 and as a sports watch primarily meant for gentlemen racing drivers in the motor sport world best epitomized by Hollywood actor Paul Newman (1925 - 2008) who always sported a Rolex Daytona on his wrist. Coming back to the matter of taste during an auction in 2013 a Paul Newman owned Rolex Daytona watch fetched over a million dollars. Paul Newman had died but the watch is still functioning as if pristine. This is possible due to the number of highly skilled horological professionals who have made the art of watch restoration and servicing highly rewarding can be seen in Perpetual Time Reviews.
