Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is plainly the most well-knownamong the world’s high-end watch brands.
Fundamentallythere are two Rolex customergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandreallylittle.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tunderstand much about watches, only that Rolex is the 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 substantialcompliment for the producer— due to the fact that if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches show time preciselyand are robust, toughand dependable.
Keepingregularly high quality with estimatedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to leave outunusualissues.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a big date screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and enhances the detailcontinuous. This holds true for the motions as well asfor the case. You will not discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end makerswith much morepriceyproducts.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the reality that the brandpresentedinnovativefunctionsrather early on which have made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmotion to the distinguishedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first water-resistantwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a number of years later on– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofunctions are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to combine all threefunctions– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Instantlyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Milgauss.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelycautiousmodificationsto the iconicdesign of privatemodel collections over the yearshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshavejust seen incremental changes for many years.
It’s why it is alwayseasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a range. WatchexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not just the expertswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
This reality is real to a lower levelfor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster models and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or possibly even more, than the initial purchase cost.
