Asal usul bela diri Muay Thai Boxing terjalin dengan kuat oleh sejarah Thailand itu sendiri karena Muay Thai Boxing mulai muncul sejak invasi oleh negara-negara tetangga ketika Thailand masih dalam masa pembentukan pemerintahan/negara.Ketika itu masyarakat Thailand berusaha memiliki kemampuan pribadi untuk membela diri sendiri jika bertemu musuh. Pada masa-masa awal perkembangannya, seni bela diri ini menggunakan senjata-senjata pendek seperti tombak pendek dan belati pendek.
Selanjutnya, perkembangan metode duel ini mulai meluas. Senjata tangan kosong yang melibatkan kepala, tinjuan kepalan tangan dan kaki mulai digunakan. Tidak diragukan lagi, akhirnya sistem inilah yang kemudian digunakan sebagai senjata (menggunakan tubuh bukan senjata berupa alat), dan merupakan ilmu bela diri yang praktis di medan pertempuran yang akhirnya diberi nama Muay Thai Boxing.Sejarah awal keberadaan seni bela diri ini tidak banyak meninggalkan bukti tertulis, lebih kepada cerita turun temurun dari generasi ke generasi sehingga sulit melacak kebenarannya. Setidaknya yang pasti, para pemimpin militer Thailand memiliki kemampuan beladiri Muay Thai Boxing sebagai keahlian pribadi.
Rakyat Thailand di berbagai wilayah dan berbeda provinsi tidak akan lupa untuk menyalakan televisi dan berkumpul bersama untuk menyaksikan kejuaraan Muay Thai Boxing di mana seluruh petarung profesional memiliki nama ring yang resmi, di mana nama ring itu muncul pertama sebagai nama resmi mereka. Setelah itu, nama kedua menunjukkan nama basis pelatihan mereka.Saat ini di Thailand baik tua, muda, anak-anak banyak yang mengikuti pelatihan Muay Thai Boxing secara teratur guna menjaga stamina, mendapatkan kemampuan bela diri atau bahkan untuk menggondol gelar juara seperti yang diperebutkan pada Kejuaraan Dunia Muay Thai Boxing yang melibatkan berbagai negara di dunia. Ternyata keahlian dan juga seni bela diri masyarakat Thailand kuno dapat terus dipertahankan, bahkan menjadi kejuaraan dunia yang diakui.

Dedicated to technology advancement and precise manufacture, the Seiko Company has repeatedly staked its reputation on performance, acting as the Official Timer of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Sapporo, Barcelona, Lillihammer and Nagano.
Seiko's many design innovations include the world's first quartz watch, the world's first LCD quartz watch with six digit display, and the world's first intelligent analog quartz watch with alarm and timer function.
In 1992, with the introduction of the Kinetic design, once again Seiko rewrote the state of the art. The Seiko Kinetic collection is a line of quartz watches that are electrically charged by movement. The Kinetic Auto Relay goes into suspended animation when unworn for three days, thus conserving energy. With a few shakes of the wearer's wrist, it wakes up and resets itself to the exact time.
Other trend-setting, multi-functional watches by Seiko include the Perpetual Calendar series which automatically reset their date settings for the next 100 years; the Chronograph collection with dual stopwatch features; the Le Grande Sport series, a classic combination of contemporary European design and functionality; and the Ladies Jewelry collection, an elegant marriage of versatility and style

Its extremely Swiss rigour, consistency, and management style are like something out of another age. Daniel Schluep has total confidence in this concept, and according to him, it has a long future ahead of it. “We are not very large,” he admits, “but we have a good future. Our Swiss management team signifies honesty, long-term goals, mutual problem solving, and good relations with employees and clients. Retailers understand this well. They realize the advantages of having partners like us, who don’t want to dominate everything, who are not ‘predators,’ but rather who are real partners.”
Schluep continues, “Because of this way of thinking, we have always developed harmoniously, without fluctuations. Since we have an extremely clear commercial strategy, we produce only what is ordered. We never stockpile our product, and we do not give credit or sell on consignment. We voluntarily limit our production to about 100,000 watches per year. We could easily increase that by 30 percent, but we prefer a constant and measured increase.” These many qualities are, of course, very Swiss.

ROLEX
Rolex is a brand of Swiss wristwatches and accessories renowned for their quality and exclusivity, as well as their cost (from a few thousand to more than one hundred thousand U.S. dollars). The watches have become status symbols of the rich and famous � as well as the upwardly-mobile career-minded individual. Although a symbol of success, Rolex has earned its strong reputation through innovations in design and function over many decades.
The Rolex, SA company was founded in 1905 by Mr. Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Mr. Alfred Davis. Contrary to popular belief, Hans Wilsdorf was neither Swiss, nor a watchmaker. Wilsdorf & Davis was the original name of what later became the Rolex Watch Company. They originally imported Hermann Aegler's Swiss movements to England and placed them in quality cases made by Dennison and others. These early wristwatches were then sold to jewellers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from the firm of Wilsdorf and Davis are usually marked "W&D" � inside the caseback only.
Hans Wilsdorf registered the trademark name "Rolex" in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland during 1908. The word was made up, but its origin is obscure. One story, which was never confirmed by Wilsdorf, is that the word "Rolex" came from the French phrase horlogerie exquise , meaning exquisite watch industry .
The Wilsdorf & Davis company moved out of Great Britain in 1912. Wilsdorf wanted his watches to be affordable, but taxes and export duties on the case metals (silver and gold) were driving costs up. From that time to the present, Rolex has been headquartered in Geneva , Switzerland , though the company owns facilities in other cities ( Bienne , etc) and continents ( North America , Asia , Australia , etc).
The company name Rolex was officially registered on 15 November 1915 . It is thought this change was part of a drive to popularize wristwatches, which at the time were still considered a novelty largely for women (pocket watches were more common). Wilsdorf was said to desire his watch brand's name to be easily pronouncable in any language. The company name was offically changed to the Rolex Watch Company during 1919. It was later changed to Montres Rolex, SA and finally Rolex, SA.
Among the company's innovations are the first self-winding watch; the first waterproof watch case; the first wristwatch with a date on the dial; the first watch to show two timezones at once; and most importantly the first watchmakers to earn the coveted chronometer certification for a wristwatch. To date, Rolex still holds the record for the most certified chronometer movements in the category of wristwatches. Another little known fact is that Rolex participated in the development of the original quartz watch movements. Although Rolex has made very few quartz models for its Oyster line, the company's engineers were instrumental in design and implementation of the technology during the early 1970s.
The first self-winding Rolex watch was offered to the public in 1931, powered by an internal mechanism that used the movement of the wearer's arm. This not only made watch-winding unnecessary, but eliminated the problem of over-winding a watch and harming its mechanism. Rolex was also the first watch company to create a truly waterproof watch � another milestone from novelty to functional timepiece. Wilsdorf even went so far as to have a specially made Rolex watch attached to the side of the Trieste bathyscaphe, which went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The watch survived and tested as having kept perfect time during its descent and ascent.
Rolex has also made a reputation in watches suitable for the extremes of deep-sea diving, aviation and mountain climbing. Sports models include the Oyster Perpetual Sea Dweller 2000 feet in 1971. This watch featured a helium release valve, co-invented with Swiss watchmaker Doxa, to dispense helium during decompression. Another is the GMT Master, originally developed at the request of Pan Am Airways, to assist pilots in transcontinental flights. The Explorer and Explorer II were developed specifically for explorers who would navigate rough terrain � such as the world famous Everest Expeditions.
On the more glamorous side, Ian Fleming's James Bond character wore a Rolex Oyster Perpetual in the series of spy novels. In the early EON production Bond films, Commander Bond was seen to wear a Rolex Submariner.
Among modern Rolex watches are the Air-King, Datejust, GMT Master/GMT II, Submariner, Sea-Dweller, Daytona Cosmograph, Day-Date, Oyster Perpetual and Yacht-Master. Most Rolex watches have a case design called the Oyster. Dressy designs usually fall under the sister brand called Cellini. The third line in the Rolex empire is the lesser expensive, but high quality, Tudor brand. The primary types of Rolex bracelets include the Jubilee, Oyster and the President.
Rolex, SA, the current company name, is not a public corporation. In fact, it is a foundation initiated and originally funded by Hans Wilsdorf and the Aegler family. According to foundation documentation, the Rolex, SA company can never be sold, nor traded on any stock market.
