Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiablehigh-endbrand name.
Rolex is plainlythe most popularamong the world’s luxury watch brand names. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Fundamentallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowextremelylittle. Enthusiastsbuy Rolex for its exceptionallyhigh quality.
They might be less interested inextremelygreat, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the best all-around expectdailywear.
Other Rolex clientsdo notunderstand much about watches, only 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 big compliment for the manufacturer— because if even a person who understandsabsolutely nothingabout watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh product quality extending over the many years of its existence. Rolex watches reveal time properlyand are robust, toughand trusted.
Preservingregularly high quality with approximatedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to omituncommoncomplications.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a big date display screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This is true for the movements in addition tofor the case. You will not find a turning bezel that ratchets so easily and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end manufacturerswith much morepriceyproducts.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brandintroducedinnovativefunctionsquite early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a watchmovement to the prominentKew-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 actually ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first waterproofwristwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a number of years later on– due to the fact that to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be essentialto 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 decoratespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all 3functions– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Quicklyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Ring.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycautiousadjustmentsto the renowneddesign of specificmodel collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyjust seen incremental changes throughout the years.
It’s why it is alwayssimple to recognize a Rolex from a range. SeespecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the specialistswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
This reality is real to a lesser levelfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or possibly even more, than the initial purchase cost.
