Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiablehigh-endbrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most well-knownamong the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowreallylittle. Connoisseursbuy Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inverygreat, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the best all-around expectday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex customersdo notunderstand much about watches, just that Rolex is the best. For them the primaryincentive is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantial compliment for the manufacturer— since if even a person who understandsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh product quality crossing the many years of its existence. Rolex watches reveal time preciselyand are robust, sturdyand dependable.
Preservingregularly high quality with projectedannual production varieties 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 large date display screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the informationongoing. This is true for the motions as well asfor the case. You will not find a turning bezel that ratchets so cleanly and efficiently 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 whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the fact that the brand nameintroducedinnovativefunctionsrather early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a watchmovement to the distinguishedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for internal mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwristwatch was presented and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a number of years later– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be requiredto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2functions are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the very first watch to combine all 3features– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Immediatelyidentifiablestyle, Rolex Collection.
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. Contribute to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf development).
Existing collections are keptand constantlyimproved over the years. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycarefuladjustmentsto the iconicstyle of privatedesign collections over the yearshaveled to a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshavejust seen incremental modifications throughout the years.
It’s why it is alwayssimple to recognize a Rolex from a range. ViewexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the professionalswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
The moment you purchase a vehicle, it drops in value by half. This reality is true to a lesserdegree for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster models and the elegantgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the initialpurchase cost. This is an appealing point for any customer— no matter whether they are buying the expectthis specificreason or any other. It’s assuring to know you’ve made a smartdecision. Rolex Collection.
