Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand.
Rolex is clearly the most well-knownamongst the world’s high-end watch brands.
Basicallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandverylittle.
Other Rolex clientsdo notknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the very best. For them the mainmotivator is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a bigcompliment for the maker— due to the fact that if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches show time preciselyand are robust, sturdyand reputable.
Preservingconsistently high quality with approximatedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s benefit to leave outunusualcomplications.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even movements with a large date display screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This is true for the movements in addition tofor the case. You will not discover a turning bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith much morecostlyproducts.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brandintroducedinnovativefunctionsquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmovement to the distinguishedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first waterproofwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a number of years later– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2functions are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all 3features– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the basics.
Quicklyidentifiabledesign, Rolex Batgirl.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its design. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. Add to this a central sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf innovation).
Existing collections are preservedand constantlyimproved over the years. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycautiousadjustmentsto the renowneddesign of specificdesign collections over the yearshaveresulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyjust seen incremental modifications throughout the years.
It’s why it is alwayssimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a range. ViewexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not just the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is real to a lesser levelfor 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 sophisticatedgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the initial purchase price.
