Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is clearlythe most widely knownamong the world’s luxury watch brand names. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, and evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandreallylittle. Enthusiastspurchase Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They might be less interested inexceptionallyfine, complexcraftsmanshipin favor of having the very best all-around look forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex clientsdo notknow 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 bigcompliment for the producer— due to the fact that if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches reveal time accuratelyand are robust, sturdyand trustworthy.
Maintainingregularly high quality with approximatedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to leave outuncommonissues.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even movements with a large date screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This is true for the motions along withfor the case. You won’t discover 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 producerswith a lot morepriceyproducts.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the fact that the brand namepresentedinnovativefeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch well-suited 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 (currentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first water-resistantwatch was presented and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later– since to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2functions are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefunctions– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Quicklyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Quartz.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language webportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycarefuladjustmentsto the iconicdesign of specificmodel collections over the decadeshave resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshaveonly seen incremental modifications throughout the years.
There are no unexpectedstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are changedjustextremelyslowly. Normaldesignfeatures like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong toseveralvariousmodels and have actuallyrarelygone throughchange so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier designs. It’s why it is constantlyeasy to recognize a Rolex from a distance.
SeespecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the expertswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
The moment you purchase a vehicle, it drops in value by half. This reality is true to a lowerdegree for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport designs in stainless-steel at least (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster designs and the elegantgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the initialpurchase rate. This is an appealing point for any customer— regardless of whether they are purchasing the watch forthis particularfactor or any other. It’s reassuring to know you’ve made a smartdecision.
