Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizablehigh-endbrand name.
Rolex is clearly the most popularamong the world’s high-end watch brands.
Fundamentallythere are two Rolex clientgroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandverylittle.
Other Rolex customersdon’tunderstand 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 bigcompliment for the producer— since if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh item quality extending over the many years of its existence. Rolex watches show time properlyand are robust, toughand reliable.
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 omitunusualcomplications.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date display, power reserve signor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the informationcontinuous. This holds true for the movements as well asfor the case. You won’t discover 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 far morepriceyitems.
It’s got whatever a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the reality that the brandpresentedingeniousfunctionsrather early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmovement to the prominentKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first waterproofwatch was presented and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The 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– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Quicklyidentifiablestyle, Rolex Jewellery.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex adds to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. Add to this a central sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf invention).
Existing collections are preservedand continuallyimproved for many years. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycautiousmodificationsto the renownedstyle of specificdesign collections over the yearshave actuallyresulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshavejust seen incremental changes over the years.
It’s why it is alwayssimple to recognize a Rolex from a range. ViewprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the professionalswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This fact 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 circumstancefor gold Oyster models and the elegantgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or possibly even more, than the initial purchase rate.
