Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is plainlythe most popularamongst the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are two Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle. Fanaticspurchase Rolex for its incrediblyhigh quality.
They may be less thinking aboutincrediblyfine, complexworkmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded expectday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex customersdon’tunderstand 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 hugecompliment for the producer— since 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 incrediblyhigh item quality crossing the many years of its existence. Rolex watches reveal time properlyand are robust, strongand trustworthy.
Preservingconsistently high quality with estimatedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s benefit to leave outunusualproblems.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date display, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This is true for the motions along withfor the case. You will not find 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 everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the reality that the brandpresentedinnovativefunctionsquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf sent a watchmotion to the prominentKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a standard for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwristwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a number of years later– since to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be neededto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are shown in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all threefunctions– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the essentials.
Immediatelyidentifiablestyle, Rolex Wales.
The dailywearability of a watch is a function of its design. The round shape of a Rolex adds to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. Add to this a central sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf development).
Existing collections are keptand continuouslyimproved over the years. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelycarefuladjustmentsto the renownedstyle of specificmodel collections over the yearshave actuallyresulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshaveonly seen incremental modifications over the years.
It’s why it is constantlysimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance. ViewexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not just the specialistswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is real to a lesser levelfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster designs and the sophisticatedgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the initial purchase rate.
