Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is clearlythe most widely knownamongst the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Basicallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowextremelylittle. Aficionadosbuy Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inexceptionallyfine, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the best all-around watch forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex clientsdo notknow much about watches, just that Rolex is the very 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 huge compliment for the manufacturer— since if even a person who understandsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh item quality extending over the numerous years of its existence. Rolex watches revealtime accuratelyand are robust, toughand trusted.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the detailcontinuous. This is true for the motions in addition tofor 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 makerswith much morecostlyitems.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the fact that the brandpresentedingeniousfunctionsquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmovement to the renownedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyperformed by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually become a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first water-resistantwristwatch was presented and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– because to make surethe 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 twofunctions are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishesvirtuallyevery 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.
Instantlyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Hulk.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycarefulmodificationsto the iconicdesign of privatedesign collections over the yearshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyonly seen incremental changes for many years.
There are no abruptstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are changedonlyverygradually. Typicaldesignfeatures like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet are part ofnumerousvariousmodels and have actuallyrarelyundergonemodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks quitelike earlier models. It’s why it is alwayseasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a range.
ViewspecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not just the specialistswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This truth is real to a lesser levelfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster models and the stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or perhaps even more, than the original purchase price.
