Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizablehigh-endbrand.
Rolex is plainlythe most popularamongst the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex consumergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle. Aficionadosbuy Rolex for its veryhigh quality.
They might be less interested inverygreat, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the best well-rounded expectdailywear.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tunderstand much about watches, just that Rolex is the very best. For them the primarymotivator is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a hugecompliment for the manufacturer— because if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh item quality extending over the lots of years of its presence. Rolex watches showtime accuratelyand are robust, strongand reliable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses 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 easily and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith much morecostlyitems.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the reality that the brand nameintroducedingeniousfeaturesrather early on which have made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans 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 (presentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually become a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first waterproofwristwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later– since to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be neededto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all 3functions– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the basics.
Immediatelyidentifiablestyle, Rolex Krone.
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. Contribute to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf development).
Existing collections are preservedand constantlyenhanced for many years. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelymindfuladjustmentsto the renowneddesign of individualmodel collections over the decadeshave actuallyresulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshaveonly seen incremental modifications for many years.
It’s why it is alwayseasy to recognize a Rolex from a distance. WatchspecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the professionalswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
The minute you purchase a car, it drops in value by half. This truth is true to a lowerlevel for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster designs and the sophisticatedgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the originalpurchase cost. This is an attractive point for any client— despite whether they are buying the watch forthis specificfactor or any other. It’s assuring to know you’ve made a sensibledecision. Rolex Krone.
