Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is clearly the most well-knownamongst the world’s luxury watch brand names.
Basicallythere are two Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowextremelylittle.
Other Rolex customersdo notknow much about watches, just that Rolex is the best. For them the primarymotivator is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a huge compliment for the producer— since if even a person who understandsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh product quality crossing the many years of its existence. Rolex watches show time preciselyand are robust, sturdyand trustworthy.
Preservingregularly high quality with approximatedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to leave outunusualcomplications.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even movements with a big date display, power reserve signor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailcontinuous. This is true for the movements along withfor the case. You won’t discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so easily and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end manufacturerswith far moreexpensiveitems.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brandintroducedinnovativefeaturesrather early on which have made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmotion to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a requirement for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding systemfollowed a couple of years later on– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are reflected in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefunctions– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Immediatelyidentifiabledesign, Rolex Ap.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its design. The round shape of a Rolex adds to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. Add to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf innovation).
Existing collections are maintainedand continuouslyimproved for many years. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelymindfuladjustmentsto the renowneddesign of privatedesign collections over the decadeshaveresulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex modelshave actuallyonly seen incremental changes throughout the years.
There are no unexpecteddesign shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are alteredonlyextremelyslowly. Commonstylefunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong toa number ofdifferentmodels and haveseldomundergonemodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier models. It’s why it is alwayssimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a range.
ViewprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the expertswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
This reality is true to a lower degreefor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the original purchase cost.
