What makes a Rolex a Rolex?

30 September 2023

It is not just the wheels and the cogs, nor a sum of every part the brand designs, crafts, polishes and assembles with exquisite skill and constant care. It is all of these, and more. It is the time taken, the skills of many. A demanding, rigorous and perpetual endeavour. In short, it is the quest for excellence.

This ‘superlative’ approach is expressed through eight fundamental qualities that characterise every Rolex watch: precision, waterproofness, autonomy, robustness, simplicity, craftsmanship, comfort and durability.

Thus, when Rolex prints “superlative” on the dial of each watch that leaves the workshops, it marks the epitome of the entire watchmaking process.
