We covered Rolex a bit on the Chronoexpert blog , they are one of the most prestigious watch brands in the world! But did you know these facts about Rolex?
1.Rolex is a charitable organization
Considering Rolex is one of the most prestigious luxury watch brands, you might be very surprised to know that, in fact, it is a charity. The Hans Wilsdorf Foundation was established after the death of Wilsdorf's wife in 1944. At this point all accounts have been transferred to this foundation, therefore Rolex is operating under the laws of a charity.
2. Fraudster Bernard Madoff stolen by Rolex
In 2008, Bernard Madoff was arrested and sentenced to 150 years in prison for orchestrating the biggest scam in the world. He lost the Rolex watches that were worth over half a million dollars and his prestigious watch collections were sold along with the rest of his vast estate.
3. Rolex produces its own metal
One of the metals that Rolex has developed is named Rolesium, it is a combination of stainless steel and platinum used for the backs of some of its watches.
4. The popularity of Rolex increased during WWII
Sometimes the most devastating and horrific events have positive ramifications. And World War II had a positive effect on the popularity of Rolex. The brand was already a favorite of the British Royal Air Force when the planes were shot down the Nazis took their Rolexes. When Wilsdorf heard of this, he announced that any Rolex that had been lost to British prisoners would be returned.
It was a bold statement that showed solidarity and support for the Air Force and the British Army and bolstered Rolex's image.
5. What does Rolex mean?
Is it an acronym, does it have deep personal meaning for Wilsdorf? A statement from Wilsdorf himself suggests that Rolex was loosely based on the sound the watches made when they were injured. Thus, the brand is closely linked to the experience of wearing and using a luxury watch. It was also a short name that was visually appealing and looked good on the face of the watch as well as being easy to pronounce in any language.
6. You can buy a Rolex with a Dominos Pizza logo on the Internet
Yes. It's possible.
Rolex hasn't done a lot of brand partnerships, but iconic brands have graced the face. Dominos Pizza & Coca-Cola to name a few!
7. Rolex is not from Switzerland
You might find this quite strange considering that it is now one of the most prestigious Swiss watch brands. Rolex was founded in London in 1905. Alfred Davis and Hans Wilsdorf founded a watch assembly company using Swiss made watch parts.
8. Rolex headquarters is safer than a maximum security prison
Considering the cost of a Rolex and the materials that come into play, it's no surprise that the seat security is pretty solid. But, a maximum security prison? Rolex takes their safety very seriously. All employees must go through a fingerprint scanner and an iris scanner. Armored trucks are used to move Rolex parts from one place to another.
9. Rolex watch helped solve murder
Police were able to identify the victim because of his Rolex watch which bore special service marks. Second, they were able to identify the exact time of his death because the self-winding watch has a 40-hour power reserve, which would have kicked off the moment the victim stopped moving.
10. Rolex was the first timepiece to reach the top of Mount Everest
In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary became the first man to reach the summit of Everest, Rolex was his watch of choice for the expedition. Of course, by providing Rolex with great publicity at the same time! Luck? Rolex was one of the sponsors of this expedition, the watch was given to Hillary for the expedition so that she could be tested when he returned.
Do you feel alone when you're in a relationship? The advice of the psychiatrist Christophe Fauré to face this painful feeling and overcome this isolation.

Examine the reactivation patterns of the past
In our romantic relationships, patterns from our childhood are often reactivated. Emotional deficiencies, unresolved family stories that come back to play within the couple.
Christophe Fauré's advice: “It is good to wonder. Are we, for example, asking our spouse the look making us exist that we did not have as a child from our father? In this case, rather than working on the relationship with his partner, it is about making peace with this father who has not looked at us and decluttering the relationship with his companion from an infantile expectation. So small, we weren't aware of our core value, as an adult we can walk towards that awareness.It's all the therapy work of working on the mistaken beliefs that the one has on oneself. The challenge is to connect with our fundamental esteem, which does not depend on the eyes of others. We exist, we are fundamentally worthy, independently of an outside look.
Reconnect to your inner dimension
Meditation, reconnection with oneself, personal development… Many approaches allow us to reconnect with our inner being and what Christophe Fauré calls “our fundamental loneliness”.
Christophe Faure's advice: “This fundamental solitude is the heart of our spiritual dimension. Connecting to it allows us to stop asking the outside for something that it won't be able to give us anyway and to realize that we don't define ourselves in relation to the outside or to others. This opens a way to work on the expectations we have vis-à-vis the outside world: are we waiting for it to make us exist? Let him tell us that we are valuable? To subject one's value to the exterior gaze is to alienate oneself, in the sense of becoming foreign. Whose ? To oneself. "
Question your expectations of your partner
What are our expectations vis-à-vis our spouse? If some are legitimate, others, conversely, are futile and only a source of disappointment, frustration, and suffering.
Christophe Fauré's advice:“It is about giving up expectations that cannot be the responsibility of your partner. For example, this one is not going to make us exist, it cannot. On the other hand, other expectations are legitimate, such as those linked to the mental load: 'recognize what I am doing and take your part, without me having to tell you to do it'. Likewise, you shouldn't ask the relationship for more than what it can provide, otherwise, you will be frustrated and think that the couple has a problem. If our partner is silent, what is the point of exhausting himself in making him talk? This is not a problem in the relationship but a problem of waiting for your partner to be someone other than who they are. So you might as well stop asking him what he can't give us and focus on what else is good and good in the relationship, which made us choose it. "
Talk to your partner about your loneliness
When the loneliness is too strong, how to talk about it to the other? For the psychiatrist, the important thing is already to try to make him understand what one feels before asking something.
Christophe Faure's advice:“Too often, when you talk about your feeling of loneliness, it's reproachful. 'Because of what you don't say, don't do, because of what you are, I feel alone, you are the cause of my unhappiness'. It may be true, but it may not be the best approach to take in getting others to listen. Better to explain to him what we feel, why such behavior brings out this in us ... We must avoid the 'you', the aggression that will close communication and adopt the NVC which allows us to expose where we are . It is also important to distinguish well the things which belong to us by saying for example: 'perhaps I ask you things which are of my competence, and that you are not able to answer them. Maybe you are yourself in your own loneliness. Perhaps there are things in our relationship that would need to be reviewed because there is an inequality in terms of mental load for example. Or, we can say: 'I am in pain over this, how far can you respond to this pain? You may not be able to fully answer it, but how far can you hear it? Avoid injunctions and guilt, otherwise the other will close right away. Rather than saying “talk to me”, say “What would you like to suggest to me? ". but how far can you hear it? Avoid injunctions and guilt, otherwise the other will close right away. Rather than saying “talk to me”, say “What would you like to suggest to me? ". but how far can you hear it? Avoid injunctions and guilt, otherwise the other will close right away. Rather than saying “talk to me”, say “What would you like to suggest to me? ".
Ask the other
Each member of the couple can suffer from loneliness. But maybe not in the same way, at the same time, or with the same intensity.
Christophe Faure's advice:“Core loneliness will emerge at the heart of the relationship, but not necessarily in the same way. Not necessarily in a way as emotionally charged or explicitly as for the woman, who may have the impression that she is the only one to feel this in the couple while the man can feel it in a different way, without perceiving it moreover. as such. For example, some men feel excluded after the arrival of the first child. Their lover becomes a mother and they are no longer seen as companions but as fathers and heads of families. They may feel rejected and withdraw, heightening a sense of loneliness in their partner. So it's good to ask your partner if they too are feeling lonely or feeling that they don't exist the way they need to.
High-quality stamp ink gives a durable imprint on any kind of material - this is its functional purpose. Therefore, in cases of accidental contact with third-party objects - skin of hands, clothing and other surfaces not provided for this, on the way to cleansing, be prepared for difficulties of various levels.
How to remove stamp ink from clothes
The best option to get rid of corrosive stains from your clothes is to take them to the nearest dry cleaner, and as soon as possible. But, unfortunately, most often this option is eliminated. Therefore, we will consider options that help to cope with the problem on our own, especially since it is much easier to remove a fresh stain.
In the first seconds after spraying, alcohol-based wet wipes will help to cope with small drops: gently blot the cloth and lightly rub the stain.
Another way is to pour boiling water onto the stain, not forgetting to first take off your soiled clothes and stretch it over a container. Hairspray, alcohol, perfume or cologne are also endowed with magical properties: if you spray them with a newly obtained stain, it will dissolve. After the procedure, the epicenter of an unpleasant surprise should be washed with soap, and the whole thing should be washed by hand or in a machine.
For those who are not used to looking for easy ways, there is another effective mix of several ingredients:
Potassium permanganate, commonly referred to as potassium permanganate, - 5 g
Pre-chilled acetic acid - 50 g
Hydroperit - 2 tablets
Distilled water - 140 ml
Immediately before starting the cleaning process, we prepare two solutions at the same time: dissolve potassium permanganate in one half of the water and pour in acetic acid, in the other, bring the hydroperite tablet to complete dissolution. First, treat the stain with a cotton pad soaked in the first solution, and after half a minute - with the second. The procedure can be repeated several times until the source of contamination is completely eliminated.
Silk items
Silk fabrics are very delicate. To revive them without sacrificing quality, mix equal doses of water and dry mustard powder and apply to the stain. Leave the item for a day and let the mixture dry thoroughly. Gently clean the dried mass with a wooden spatula and rinse the item of your wardrobe in cool water with the addition of detergent, and several more times without it.
Light and color
Old stains on colored items are removed with ammonia and turpentine mixed in equal proportions. The resulting solution is applied to the stain and wait until it completely disappears, after which the thing is thoroughly washed and rinsed out several times.
On white things, stains from stamp ink or acrylics are removed with the help of acids. You should prepare such a solution and treat the stain with it:
Citric acid - 10 g
Oxalic acid - 10 g
Water - 100 ml
The strong acid action will dissolve the stamp ink and the contamination will come off. After washing, the item will look like new.
Cold milk, which absorbs ink paint, and warm glycerin diluted with a little water are also effective.
You can not refuse from the factory stain removers, which are available in various forms of brushes - solid, powder, liquid or gel.
Genuine leather and suede
If stamp paint splashed on a leather haberdashery - belt, bag, gloves, treat the stain with a cocktail of glycerin and denatured alcohol. Even out the slightly lightened tone with a special dye.
Mastic is removed from light suede with a concentrated solution of chlorine. We recommend that you first check the degree of concentration of the composition on an inconspicuous area of the product. If the stain does not come off the first time, repeat the procedure after it is completely dry.
How to remove stains from various surfaces
Stamp mastic can permanently settle on the skin of the hands, if not removed in the first seconds from the moment of contact. In most cases, the stain can be defeated by immediately rubbing the dirty area with toothpaste, cherry or lemon juice, and then washing your hands with soap and water.
If the attempt is unsuccessful, try more aggressive products - ammonia, nail polish remover, white spirit, gasoline or thinner. After washing your hands with soap, be sure to apply a moisturizer to keep your skin dry.
The above list of chemicals will also help get rid of the ink from the window sill, table and other inanimate objects that were so out of place in the path of the insidious splashes.
