Alles über die Welt der Luxus-Armbanduhren

Raketenwissenschaft

Einen kurzen Moment lang hatte ich allen Ernstes überlegt, diesen kurzen Beitrag mit einer wissenschaftlichen Abhandlung zur Herstellung von Kohlenstofffasern zu beginnen. Ob meiner schon zu Schulzeiten recht überschaubaren Fähigkeiten im Rahmen der Naturwissenschaften aber, nahm ich von diesem Ansinnen sogleich auch wieder Abstand und wende mich anstelle dessen eben jenen Dingen zu, die uns alle tagtäglich bewegen. Uhren.

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

How deep is deep?

An eternal irritation

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.

An eternal irritation

Who hasn't experienced this? Travelling by plane from Japan to the USA, adjusting your world clock to the local conditions, but then the shock: the date is wrong! The reason: that darned International Date Line. A circumstance that already caused problems for Jules Verne's hero Phileas Fogg on his journey around the world in 80 days.

A special kind of sea dweller

Every Rolex is special and has its own special story. That's clear. At the end of the day, it's something special that every watch manufacturer's advertising tries to entice us with. But: the Rolex Deepsea D-Blue is - truly - something special.
