We're proud to share that Lars Nielson, our longtime watchmaker, has become a Level-60 Rolex Certified Watchmaker—authorizing him to perform in-house service on caliber 9001 and 9002 movements. We've also welcomed Noah Riley, a Rolex Level-50 Certified Watchmaker, formerly with Treiber & Straub which recently closed its doors, and we're honored to continue supporting their clients. Since 1899, we've remained deeply engaged with our community and committed to outstanding quality and service.
