Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand name.
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, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Basicallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandreallylittle. Enthusiastspurchase Rolex for its veryhigh quality.
They may be less interested inexceptionallygreat, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the best all-around expectdailywear.
Other Rolex customersdo notknow much about watches, just that Rolex is the 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— since if even an individual who understandsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its incrediblyhigh product quality extending over the lots of years of its existence. Rolex watches showtime preciselyand are robust, durableand trusted.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the detailongoing. This is true for the movements along withfor the case. You won’t find a rotating bezel that ratchets so easily and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end makerswith a lot morepriceyitems.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brandintroducedinnovativefeaturesquite early on which have made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmovement to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually ended up being a requirement for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first waterproofwristwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– because to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be requiredto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofunctions are reflected in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to combine all 3features– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Immediatelyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Red.
The dailywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex adds to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. Contribute to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf innovation).
Existing collections are keptand constantlyimproved for many years. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycarefuladjustmentsto the iconicdesign of privatedesign collections over the decadeshaveled to a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex modelshavejust seen incremental modifications over the years.
It’s why it is constantlyeasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance. ViewprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not just the professionalswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This truth is true to a lower levelfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster models and the stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the initial purchase cost.
