Every Rolex Tells a Story Tim Henman (photo: Rolex)

Tim Henman has lived and breathed the sport of tennis his entire life. His grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandmother all played at Wimbledon. His great-grandmother was the first female player to serve an overarm and his grandmother was the last female player to serve an underarm at Wimbledon. And he has made it to Wimbledon four times and has a four titles under his belt.

His first visit to Centre Court at All England Lawn was in 1981 when he was just six years old. It was here that two things came together: a commitment to pursue tennis as a career and a youthful reverence for Rolex and its role in the sport he would dedicate his life to.

In 1996 Henman was ranked No. 1 in British tennis and he held the title again from the years 1999-2005 when he was replaced by Andy Murray. Murray injured his hip at Wimbledon this past month and lost in the quarter finals to American Sam Querrey.

Henman’s fascination with Rolex was born the same day as his passion for tennis. He connects the watch and brand to the sport that shaped his life. His Milgauss purchase came 32 years after 1981. This model was originally designed for scientists, but the stainless steel configuration is equally equipped for the tennis court.

Rolex Milgauss with custom engraving by Huckleberry Ltd and Fin Des Temps (photo: Huckleberry Ltd)

Fin Des Temps put in over 140 hours of hand engraving to add the huckleberry plant pattern to the bracelet and case of this stainless steel Rolex. They also added 3.4 carats of black diamonds to the channel set bezel. This one of a kind timepiece is numbered and sold in a reclaimed wood box lined with orange suede.

The organic plant pattern and black diamonds accentuate the orange details of the Milgauss model, giving this watch an old world feel. It looks like a relief carved into a gothic cathedral that has been weathered over hundreds of years. The jewelers added their Huck x Fin signature to the dial and engraved it on the back of the case as well.
