Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiablehigh-endbrand name.
Rolex is plainly the most widely knownamong the world’s high-end watch brand names.
Essentiallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle.
Other Rolex customersdo notknow 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 producer— due to the fact that if even a person who knowsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
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 preciselyand are robust, durableand reliable.
Maintainingconsistently 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 advantage to omituncommoncomplications.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date display screen, power reserve signor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the informationcontinuous. This holds true for the motions along withfor the case. You won’t find a rotating 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 makerswith far moreexpensiveitems.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the reality that the brandpresentedingeniousfeaturesrather early on which have made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a watchmovement 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 ended up being a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first water-resistantwatch was presented and the automatedwinding systemfollowed a number of years later– due to the fact that to make surethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be essentialto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all threefunctions– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Immediatelyidentifiabledesign, Rolex Zubmariner.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. This is supported by Rolex specialistPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycarefuladjustmentsto the renowneddesign of privatemodel collections over the decadeshave resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshaveonly seen incremental changes over the years.
It’s why it is alwayseasy to recognize a Rolex from a range. EnjoyprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is true to a lower degreefor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier scenariofor gold Oyster designs and the elegantgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the original purchase price.
