Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is clearly the most widely knownamongst the world’s luxury watch brands.
Essentiallythere are two Rolex customergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandreallylittle.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tunderstand much about watches, only that Rolex is the very 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 big compliment for the producer— because if even a person who understandsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh product quality crossing the many years of its presence. Rolex watches reveal time preciselyand are robust, strongand trustworthy.
Keepingregularly 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 advantage to omitunusualproblems.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a big date screen, power reserve indicatoror alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the informationcontinuous. This is true for the movements in addition tofor the case. You won’t discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end producerswith a lot moreexpensiveproducts.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the reality that the brandpresentedinnovativefeaturesrather early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmovement to the prominentKew-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 ended up being a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first waterproofwristwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a couple of years later– because to make surethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefunctions– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Instantlyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Klockor.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its design. The round shape of a Rolex adds to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. Add to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf innovation).
Existing collections are preservedand continuallyimproved for many years. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelymindfulmodificationsto the iconicstyle of specificmodel collections over the yearshave actuallyled to a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyjust seen incremental modifications over the years.
There are no abruptstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are modifiedonlyverygradually. Typicaldesignfeatures like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong tonumerousdifferentdesigns and haverarelyundergonemodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier models. It’s why it is alwayseasy to recognize a Rolex from a distance.
EnjoyexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
This truth is real to a lower extentfor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or perhaps even more, than the original purchase cost.
