In the 1920s the founder of Rolex watches was having trouble opening an oyster shell. He had the idea to create the first airtight and watertight watch similar to an oyster shell. The watch was also the first self winding watch or "perpetual".

Wrong Jane. "perpetual" is the smooth never-ending movement of the second hand. Has nothing to do with the winding.
