Bamford Watch Department Customized Rolex Watches Hands-On & Thoughts
“Rolex thinks that their watches are perfect,” says George Bamford, founder of Bamford Watch Department. He pauses to consider his statement and then adds, “they probably are. But I still think there is a lot of room for Rolex watches to be more unique.” In a simple way, this has been the defining ethos behind the highly successful Bamford Watch Department business, which the son of English construction magnate Sir Anthony Bamford started about 10 years ago, around 2003.
