Israeli artist David Gerstein (b. 1944, Jerusalem) is internationally recognized for his vibrant, multi-layered metal sculptures that bridge the worlds of painting, sculpture, and pop art. Known for transforming everyday subjects into dynamic, three-dimensional compositions, Gerstein’s work is defined by bold color, movement, and an unmistakable sense of joy. Gerstein studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem before continuing his education in Paris, New York, and London, experiences that exposed him to European modernism and American pop sensibilities.

Few luxury brands are as instantly recognizable, or as deeply rooted in technical achievement, as Rolex. Since its founding in the early 20th century, Rolex has consistently shaped how the world understands wristwatches, transforming them from delicate accessories into reliable instruments built for precision, performance, and longevity.

His vision quickly proved correct. In 1910, a Rolex wristwatch earned the first Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision ever awarded to a wristwatch, followed in 1914 by a prestigious Class “A” certificate from England’s Kew Observatory. These early achievements set the foundation for Rolex’s lifelong pursuit of chrono...Read More
