Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand.
Rolex is plainly the most well-knownamongst the world’s high-end watch brand names.
Basicallythere are two Rolex clientgroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowextremelylittle.
Other Rolex customersdo notknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the very 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 hugecompliment for the producer— because if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh product quality extending over the numerous years of its presence. Rolex watches showtime preciselyand are robust, sturdyand trustworthy.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the informationongoing. This is true for the motions in addition tofor the case. You won’t discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so cleanly and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith much morepriceyitems.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brandintroducedingeniousfeaturesrather early on which have made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmotion to the renownedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first waterproofwristwatch was presented and the automaticwinding systemfollowed a couple of years later– due to the fact that to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t 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 decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to combine all threefeatures– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its name date window, it has all the basics.
Immediatelyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Zeichen.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelymindfuladjustmentsto the renownedstyle of privatedesign collections over the yearshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyonly seen incremental modifications for many years.
It’s why it is constantlyeasy to acknowledge a Rolex from a range. SeeexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the specialistswho recognizethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is real to a lower extentfor watches– other than 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 price.
