The Marconi move was at that time the jewel of Rolex's marketing balance. Marconi was H. Wilsdorf's first vision and he had the name registered initially, until he officially patented the name Rolex in 1915, but it was no secret in the early days that Marconi watches were made for the Rolex Watch Company. However, they were not called Rolex watches and generally were not branded with the Rolex name.
