Rolex And The Spoon History

An interesting aside to the history of Rolex has to do with its foray into collectible spoons. Intended to serve as a keepsake or a souvenir, the spoons first made an appearance at Bucherer Jewelers in Lucerne, Switzerland. In order to obtain one of these spoons, the client would need to purchase a Rolex watch. The spoons were never sold separately.

At first, there was no mention of Rolex on the spoon. The spoons read Bucherer Watches Lucerne and had a lion in the bowl of the spoon. Then they changed to having Rolex-marked spoons for Rolex customers. These spoons had “Rolex” engraved at the top of the spoon, but the lion in the bowl of the spoon remained as a trademark of Bucherer Lucerne.

At the back of the spoons were markings that indicated the silver content. For instance, B100 12 meant that 100 grams of silver plated 12 normal-size spoons; this translates to about 8.33 grams per spoon.
