RACING THROUGH TIME

Rolex stays on the fast track to victory as it continues to support sporting initiatives on a global scale.

In the high-octane world of Formula 1, precision is paramount, and Swiss watchmaker Rolex exemplifies this principle through a long-standing partnership with the FIA Formula 1 Championships. A Global Partner and the Official Timepiece of the sport since 2013, Rolex has supported motor racing since the 1930s. This is why at every Grand Prix (GP), you’ll easily spot the official Rolex Pit Lane Clock—a visual reminder of the importance of timing.

Of course, it was no different at the recent Singapore GP in late September, where the clock again stood watch over the pit lanes of the Formula 1 Night Race. Clearly visible from the Rolex Suite of the Paddock Club, this alliance is a confluence of the art of horology with the thrill of motorsport, and a celebration of the shared commitment to innovation and performance.

It must be said that Rolex’s presence on the track is more than symbolic. They’re also the official timekeeper, ensuring that every moment of the race and that each driver’s racing experience is measured with the unmatched accuracy Rolex is known for.

SPEED MEETS SOPHISTICATION

Keeping Rolex at the forefront of motor racing is their association with celebrated Formula 1 drivers Sir Jackie Stewart, Mark Webber, and Nico Rosberg, who are all part of the Rolex family of Testimonees. The former two were also present at the Singapore GP, and a personal highlight of the night races was being given a private tour of the team paddocks by Sir Jackie Stewart himself.
