Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most popularamongst the world’s luxury watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Fundamentallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandreallylittle. Aficionadospurchase Rolex for its exceptionallyhigh quality.
They might be less interested inextremelyfine, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded expecteverydaywear.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tknow much about watches, just that Rolex is the best. For them the primarymotivator is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantial compliment for the producer— due to the fact that if even an individual who knowsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh item quality extending over the many years of its existence. Rolex watches reveal time accuratelyand are robust, sturdyand dependable.
Preservingconsistently high quality with estimatedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s benefit to leave outuncommoncomplications.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even movements with a big date display screen, power reserve signor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This holds true for the motions as well asfor the case. You won’t find a turning bezel that ratchets so easily and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith far morepriceyitems.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the reality that the brand namepresentedingeniousfeaturesquite early on which have made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmotion to the prominentKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a standard for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first waterproofwristwatch was presented and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– due to the fact that to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be neededto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofunctions are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the very first watch to combine all threefunctions– automaticwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the basics.
Quicklyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Cellini.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallymindfuladjustmentsto the iconicstyle of privatedesign collections over the decadeshave actually resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshavejust seen incremental changes over the years.
There are no unexpectedstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are changedjustextremelygradually. Typicaldesignfunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet become part ofseveralvariousdesigns and haveseldomgone throughchange so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks quitelike earlier models. It’s why it is alwayseasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance.
ViewprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the expertswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This fact is true to a lesser degreefor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or perhaps even more, than the initial purchase rate.
