The Draw Of A Rolex Timepiece
A Rolex timepiece has been known for its high quality
. When the Rolex was first made, a watch assembled by hand didnt stand out much, but today it does. Rolex is a company with over 100 years of heritage and the Rolex name still represents the finest in Swiss made timepieces. You can find the Rolex Companys headquarters located in Geneva, Switzerland.
Not only is a Rolex visually beautiful, the Rolex is also an innovator in the industry when it comes to their timepieces movements. Each timepiece is still assembled by hand, using a collaboration of the following:
Watchmakers
Designers
Gem setters
Chemists
This collaboration results in creating a timepiece of uncompromised quality and innovation.
The movement of a Rolex is 100% conceived by Rolex and takes over a year to complete. It is entirely Swiss made and includes such innovations as the Blue Parachrom Hairspring, which is comprised of a paramagnetic alloy that is ten times more resistant to shock than a standard spring, and is accurate in highly magnetic environments. This part alone is exclusive to, patented, and produced by Rolex.
Other features of a Rolex include 904L steel, which has a maximum resistance to corrosion. Besides steel, Rolex also uses solid 18k gold in select models for its cases and bracelets giving their timepieces a beauty and elegance that is unmatched. The bezel on Rolex watch is exclusive to Rolex. A patented process is used that super heats the ceramic to 1500 degrees, hardening and purifying it. The entire bezel is coated with gold, atom by atom. It is then polished until just the numbers remain, virtually forever. Creation of the bezel takes over 40 hours and is impervious to scratching.
Rolex has a long list of firsts in the industry that include the following:
1945-Rolex was the first to create an automatic changing date on the dial.
1953-the first timepiece to have a water resistance to 100m (330 ft.) with the Oyster Perpetual Submariner.

1978-Rolex earned the title of official timekeeper for Wimbledon and The Australian Open tennis grand slams.
