Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is plainlythe most popularamong the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, and evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who know a lot, and those who knowverylittle. Fanaticsbuy Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inincrediblygreat, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the best all-around look forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tknow 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 substantialcompliment for the maker— because if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh product quality extending over the many years of its existence. Rolex watches show time properlyand are robust, strongand reputable.
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 outunusualcomplications.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a big date display screen, power reserve indicatoror alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This holds true for the movements as well asfor the case. You will not find a rotating 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 manufacturerswith a lot morepriceyproducts.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the reality that the brand namepresentedingeniousfeaturesquite early on which have made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf submitted a watchmovement to the renownedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a standard for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwristwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a couple of years later– due to the fact that to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be neededto 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 decoratespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefeatures– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the essentials.
Quicklyidentifiabledesign, Rolex Nz.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelymindfulmodificationsto the iconicstyle of privatemodel collections over the decadeshave resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyonly seen incremental changes for many years.
There are no suddenstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are alteredjustverygradually. Commonstylefunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet become part ofnumerousvariousmodels and have actuallyrarelyundergonemodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier designs. It’s why it is constantlyeasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance.
SeeprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not simply the expertswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is true to a lesser degreefor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or possibly even more, than the original purchase price.
