Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiablehigh-endbrand.
Rolex is clearlythe most widely knownamong the world’s luxury watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Fundamentallythere are 2 Rolex consumergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle. Aficionadosbuy Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inverygreat, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the best all-around look foreverydaywear.
Other Rolex consumersdon’tknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the very best. For them the mainincentive 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— due to the fact that if even a person who knowsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh item quality extending over the many years of its existence. Rolex watches revealtime properlyand are robust, durableand reputable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the detailongoing. This holds true for the motions as well asfor the case. You will not discover a turning bezel that ratchets so cleanly and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end producerswith a lot morecostlyitems.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brand nameintroducedinnovativefunctionsquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a watchmovement to the distinguishedKew-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 become a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwristwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a number of years later– due to the fact that to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all 3features– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
Quicklyrecognizablestyle, Rolex London.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycarefulmodificationsto the renownedstyle of individualdesign collections over the yearshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshave actuallyjust seen incremental modifications throughout the years.
It’s why it is alwayssimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a range. ViewprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not simply the specialistswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
This truth is true to a lesser levelfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or perhaps even more, than the original purchase rate.
