Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is plainlythe most popularamongst the world’s high-end watch brand names. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, and evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are two Rolex customergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowverylittle. Connoisseursbuy Rolex for its exceptionallyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inincrediblygreat, complexcraftsmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded watch foreverydaywear.
Other Rolex consumersdon’tunderstand much about watches, just that Rolex is the best. For them the primaryincentive is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantialcompliment for the producer— due to the fact that if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh product quality crossing the many years of its presence. Rolex watches reveal time properlyand are robust, strongand trustworthy.
Keepingconsistently high quality with projectedannual 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, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This is true for the motions as well asfor the case. You will not discover a turning bezel that ratchets so easily and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith a lot moreexpensiveproducts.
It’s got whatever a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brandintroducedinnovativefeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a watchmotion to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first waterproofwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a number of years later on– due to the fact that to guaranteethe 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 twofunctions are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the very first watch to combine all 3functions– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Quicklyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Mens.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycautiousadjustmentsto the renowneddesign of specificdesign collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex modelshaveonly seen incremental modifications over the years.
There are no suddendesign shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are modifiedonlyverygradually. Typicaldesignfunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong tonumerousvariousdesigns and havehardly evergone throughchange so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks quitelike earlier designs. It’s why it is constantlyeasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a range.
WatchspecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the specialistswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
The minute you buy an automobile, it drops in value by half. This fact is true to a lesserlevel for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport designs in stainless-steel at least (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster models and the sophisticatedgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the initialpurchase rate. This is an attractive point for any client— regardless of whether they are buying the watch forthis specificreason or any other. It’s reassuring to know you’ve made a sensibledecision. Rolex Mens.
