Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizablehigh-endbrand.
Rolex is clearly the most widely knownamong the world’s high-end watch brand names.
Fundamentallythere are 2 Rolex customergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandreallylittle.
Other Rolex customersdo notknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the best. For them the mainincentive 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 manufacturer— because if even a person who understandsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its incrediblyhigh item quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches showtime accuratelyand are robust, toughand dependable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationcontinuous. This holds true for the motions along withfor the case. You will not find a rotating 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 manufacturerswith far moreexpensiveproducts.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the fact that the brand nameintroducedingeniousfeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmovement to the renownedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlyperformed by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually become a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first waterproofwristwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a number of years later– since 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 very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefeatures– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
Quicklyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Crown.
The dailywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. Contribute to this a central sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf innovation).
Existing collections are preservedand continuallyenhanced over the years. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallymindfuladjustmentsto the iconicdesign of individualmodel collections over the yearshaveresulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshaveonly seen incremental modifications over the years.
It’s why it is constantlysimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a range. WatchprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
This fact is true to a lesser levelfor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster models and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the original purchase cost.
