Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most well-knownamongst the world’s high-end watch brand names. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, and evenPatek Philippe.
Fundamentallythere are two Rolex customergroups– those who know a lot, and those who knowextremelylittle. Connoisseurspurchase Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They may be less interested inincrediblyfine, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded expectdailywear.
Other Rolex consumersdon’tknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the best. For them the mainincentive 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 producer— since if even a person who understandsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh item quality extending over the numerous years of its existence. Rolex watches showtime preciselyand are robust, toughand dependable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the detailongoing. This holds true for the movements along withfor the case. You won’t find a rotating bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end makerswith a lot morecostlyitems.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the fact that the brand nameintroducedingeniousfunctionsquite early on which have made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmotion to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyperformed by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a requirement for in-house mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the first waterproofwatch was presented and the automatedwinding systemfollowed a number of years later– due to the fact that to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be neededto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofunctions are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all 3features– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
Immediatelyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Watch Owner.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycarefuladjustmentsto the renownedstyle of individualmodel collections over the decadeshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshavejust seen incremental changes throughout the years.
It’s why it is constantlyeasy to recognize a Rolex from a range. SeespecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not just the specialistswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
The minute you buy an automobile, it drops in worth by half. This fact is true to a lesserextent for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel a minimum of (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the initialpurchase cost. This is an appealing point for any client— regardless of whether they are purchasing the expectthis particularreason or any other. It’s reassuring to understand you’ve made a smartdecision.
