Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiablehigh-endbrand.
Rolex is plainly the most well-knownamong the world’s high-end watch brand names.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandverylittle.
Other Rolex clientsdon’tknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the very best. For them the primarymotivator is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a substantial compliment for the maker— due to the fact that if even a person 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 veryhigh item quality crossing the many years of its existence. Rolex watches show time properlyand are robust, strongand reputable.
Preservingregularly high quality with projectedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to leave outunusualproblems.
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 informationongoing. This is true for the motions as well asfor the case. You will not 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 makerswith a lot morecostlyitems.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the fact that the brand namepresentedinnovativefeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmotion to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
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 calibers. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwatch was presented and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a number of years later– due to the fact that to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2functions are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all threefeatures– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Immediatelyidentifiablestyle, Rolex Watch Quartz.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. Add to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf development).
Existing collections are keptand continuallyenhanced for many years. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallymindfuladjustmentsto the iconicdesign of individualdesign collections over the yearshave actuallyresulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyjust seen incremental modifications for many years.
There are no unexpecteddesign shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are changedjustreallygradually. Typicalstylefunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong toseveralvariousdesigns and have actuallyrarelygone throughmodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier models. It’s why it is constantlyeasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a range.
EnjoyprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not simply the professionalswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
The moment you purchase a car, it drops in worth by half. This reality is true to a lesserextent for 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 stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or maybe even more, than the initialpurchase rate. This is an attractive point for any consumer— despite whether they are buying the watch forthis particularfactor or any other. It’s reassuring to understand you’ve made a sensibledecision.
