In 1953, humankind first successfully reached the summit of Everest, the world's highest peak. And on that historic expedition, Rolex watches were worn. That same year, Rolex launched the Explorer collection named for it, honouring the courage of humanity to explore its limits.

The Explorer's design philosophy is the ultimate in "practicality" and "reliability." It has no superfluous flourish, only a dial clearly legible in any extreme condition and a sturdy, durable body. Its sole purpose is to be a partner an explorer can absolutely trust while climbing and challenging the unknown, quietly and dependably supporting the user to accomplish the seemingly impossible, up in those remote, life-and-death heights.

Here is an important truth: however gifted and brave a person is, to accomplish a truly great feat, they also need the right support around them. What summits Everest is of course the climber's own will and ability; but without reliable gear, a professional guide and a whole support team behind them, even the strongest individual could hardly reach such a height alone. What makes a person is, besides themselves, the "right help" around them.

On the peak of a career, it is the same. A person's talent and potential need to be placed in the right position, meet the right opportunity, and receive the right support, to be truly released and brought to their fullest. Finding that "right position" is often the key to whether a person can climb the summit that is theirs.

What Able Talent Asia believes in is that same value of "achieving the right person through the right support": what we do is find talent the stage where they can best use their strengths, and find companies the key partner who can help them reach the top. Like the Explorer supporting explorers to the summit, the right support can take a person to a height they once thought they could never reach.
