I-Rolex ayifani ngempela nanoma yiluphi olunye uhlobo lwewashi.Eqinisweni, le nhlangano ezimele, ezimele ayifani nezinye izinkampani eziningi.Ngingakusho manje ngokucacile kunabaningi ngoba ngangilapho.U-Rolex akavamile ukuthi avumele noma ubani ukuba angene emahholo abo angcwele, kodwa ngamenywa ukuba ngivakashele izindawo zabo ezine zokukhiqiza eSwitzerland ukuze ngizibonele mathupha ukuthi u-Rolex uwenza kanjani amawashi abo adumile.
I-Rolex ihlukile: iyahlonishwa, iyanconywa, yaziswa futhi yaziwa emhlabeni wonke.Ngezinye izikhathi ngihlala ngicabange ngakho konke u-Rolex ayikho nakwenzayo, futhi ngikuthola kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi bagcina benza amawashi.Eqinisweni, i-Rolex yenza amawashi kuphela, futhi amawashi awo abe ngaphezu kwama-chronometer.Sengikushilo lokho, isizathu sokuthi “i-Rolex iyi-Rolex” yingoba amawashi amahle futhi agcina isikhathi kahle.Kungithathe iminyaka eyishumi ukuthi ngilwazise ngokugcwele uhlobo, futhi kungase kube isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuthi ngazi konke engifuna ukukwazi ngakho.
Inhloso yalesi sihloko akukona ukukunikeza ukuqonda okuphelele kwe-Rolex.Lokhu akunakwenzeka ngoba okwamanje u-Rolex unomgomo oqinile wokungathwebuli.Kukhona imfihlo yangempela ngemuva kokukhiqizwa, njengoba kuvaliwe, futhi imisebenzi yayo ayikhangiswa.Umkhiqizo uthatha umqondo wokuzithiba waseSwitzerland uwuyise ezingeni elilandelayo, futhi kuhle kubo ngezindlela eziningi.Njengoba singakwazi ukukubonisa esikubonile, ngifuna ukwabelana nawe ngamaqiniso athakazelisayo okufanele wonke umuntu othanda i-Rolex nesithandwa sewashi awazi.
Abathandi bamawashi abaningi bajwayelene neqiniso lokuthi i-Rolex isebenzisa insimbi okungekho muntu onayo.Insimbi engagqwali ayifani.Kunezinhlobo eziningi namabanga ensimbi… amawashi amaningi ensimbi enziwa ngensimbi engagqwali engu-316L.Namuhla, yonke insimbi kumawashi e-Rolex yenziwe ngensimbi engu-904L, futhi ngokwazi kwethu, cishe akekho omunye umuntu oyenzayo.Kungani?
I-Rolex yayivame ukusebenzisa insimbi efanayo nawo wonke umuntu, kodwa ngonyaka ka-2003 bashintsha ukukhiqizwa kwensimbi kwaba yinsimbi engu-904L.Ngo-1988 bakhipha iwashi labo lokuqala elingu-904L nezinguqulo eziningana ze-Sea-Dweller.Insimbi engu-904L imelana kakhulu nokugqwala nokugqwala futhi iqinile kunezinye izinsimbi.Okubaluleke kakhulu ku-Rolex, ukupholisha kwensimbi okungu-904L (kanye nokubamba) ngokuphawulekayo ngaphansi kokusetshenziswa okuvamile.Uma uke waqaphela ukuthi insimbi kumawashi e-Rolex ihlukile kwamanye amawashi, kungenxa yensimbi engu-904L nendlela uRolex afunde ngayo ukusebenza ngayo.
Kuphakama umbuzo wemvelo: kungani yonke imboni yokubuka ingasebenzisi insimbi engu-904L?Ukuqagela okuhle ukuthi kubiza kakhulu futhi kunzima ukukucubungula.I-Rolex kwadingeka ishintshe iningi lemishini yayo yokwenza insimbi namathuluzi ukuze isebenze ngensimbi engu-904L.Kuwenza umqondo omkhulu kubo ngoba benza amawashi amaningi futhi bazenzela yonke imininingwane.Amakesi efoni wezinye izinhlobo eziningi enziwa abantu besithathu.Ngakho-ke nakuba i-904L ifaneleka kakhulu kumawashi kuno-316L, ibiza kakhulu, idinga amathuluzi akhethekile namakhono, futhi ngokuvamile inzima kakhulu ukuwenza umshini.Lokhu kuvimbele amanye amabhrendi ekusebenziseni lokhu (okwamanje), okuyisici se-Rolex.Izinzuzo zisobala uma uthola izandla zakho kunoma yiliphi iwashi lensimbi le-Rolex.
Ngakho konke u-Rolex akwenzile eminyakeni edlule, akumangalisi ukuthi banomnyango wabo we-R&D.Kodwa-ke, i-Rolex ingaphezulu kakhulu.I-Rolex ayinayo eyodwa, kodwa izinhlobo eziningana ezahlukene zamalebhu esayensi ahlomele kahle kakhulu ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene.Inhloso yalezi zilabhorethri akukhona nje ukucwaninga amawashi amasha nezinto ezingasetshenziswa kumawashi, kodwa nokucwaninga ngobuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza obusebenza kahle futhi obunengqondo.Enye indlela yokubheka i-Rolex ukuthi iyinkampani ekhiqizayo enekhono futhi ehleleke kahle eyenza nje amawashi.
Amalabhorethri e-Rolex ahlukahlukene njengoba emangalisa.Mhlawumbe okuthakazelisa kakhulu ngokubukeka i-chemistry lab.Ilebhu ye-chemistry ye-Rolex igcwele amabhikha namashubhu okuhlola oketshezi namagesi, esebenza ngososayensi abaqeqeshiwe.Isetshenziselwa ini ngokuyinhloko?Into eyodwa ethi u-Rolex uthi le lebhu isetshenziselwa ukuthuthukisa nokucwaninga amafutha nezinto zokugcoba abazisebenzisa emishinini yabo ngesikhathi sokwenza.
I-Rolex inegumbi elinezibonakhulu zama-electron eziningana kanye nama-spectrometer amaningi egesi.Bangakwazi ukufunda izinsimbi nezinye izinto eduze kakhulu ukuze bafunde umthelela wokucubungula nezindlela zokukhiqiza.Lezi zindawo ezinkulu ziyamangalisa futhi zisetshenziswa ngokucophelela futhi njalo ukuze kuqedwe noma kuvinjwe izinkinga ezingase ziphakame.
Kunjalo, i-Rolex iphinde isebenzise izilabhorethri zayo zesayensi ukuze izenzele amawashi ngokwawo.Igumbi elilodwa elithokozisayo yigumbi lokuhlola ukucindezeleka.Lapha, ukunyakaza kwewashi, amasongo namakesi kuguga futhi kudabuke futhi kuphathwe kabi emishinini namarobhothi enziwe ngokukhethekile.Ake sithi kunengqondo ngokuphelele ukucabanga ukuthi iwashi elijwayelekile le-Rolex liklanyelwe ukuhlala impilo yonke (noma ezimbili).
Enye yemibono eyiphutha enkulu nge-Rolex ukuthi imishini yenza amawashi.La mahemuhemu avamile kangangokuthi ngisho nabasebenzi be-aBlogtoWatch bakholelwa ukuthi ayiqiniso kakhulu.Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uRolex ngokwesiko akasho lutho olutheni ngalesi sihloko.Eqinisweni, amawashi e-Rolex akunikeza konke ukunakwa okungokoqobo ongakulindela ewashini lekhwalithi laseSwitzerland.
U-Rolex uqinisekisa ukuthi usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe kule nqubo.Eqinisweni, i-Rolex inemishini yokwenza amawashi eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu emhlabeni.Amarobhothi neminye imisebenzi ezenzakalelayo isetshenziselwa imisebenzi abantu abangakwazi ukuyenza.Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuhlunga, ukugcinwa, ukwenza ikhathalogi kanye nezinqubo ezinemininingwane yohlobo lokunakekela ofuna umshini ukwenze.Nokho, iningi lale mishini isasebenza ngesandla.Konke kusukela ekunyakazeni kwe-Rolex kuya kwisongo kuhlanganiswa ngesandla.Nokho, umshini uyasiza ezintweni ezinjengokufaka ingcindezi efanele lapho uxhuma izikhonkwane, ukuqondisa izingxenye, nokuphusha izandla.Kodwa-ke, izandla zawo wonke amawashi e-Rolex zisabekwe ngesandla izingcweti ezinekhono.
Ukusho ukuthi u-Rolex ugxile kakhulu ekulawuleni izinga kuzobe kuwukubukela phansi.Itimu eyinhloko ekukhiqizeni ukuhlola, ukuhlola kabusha, nokuhlola kabusha.Kubukeka sengathi inhloso yabo wukuqinisekisa ukuthi uma iRolex igqekeza, kuzokwenziwa ngaphambi kokuthi iphume efemini.Yonke inhlangano ekhiqizwe i-Rolex isetshenzwa yiqembu elikhulu labakhi bamawashi nabadidiyeli.Nasi isiqhathaniso sokunyakaza kwabo ngaphambi nangemva kokuthunyelwa kwa-COSC ukuze bathole isitifiketi se-chronometer.Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Rolex iqinisekisa kabusha ukunemba kokunyakaza ngokulingisa ukuguga nokudabukile ngemuva kokuthi kufakwe amabhokisi izinsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuyithumela kubathengisi.
I-Rolex izenzela igolide layo.Yize benabahlinzeki abaningana abathumela insimbi kubo (i-Rolex isasebenzisa kabusha insimbi ukwenza zonke izingxenye zayo), lonke igolide neplatinamu kukhiqizwa endaweni.Igolide elingu-24 carat liya ku-Rolex bese libe yi-18 carat eliphuzi, elimhlophe noma i-Rolex yegolide laphakade (inguqulo engabuni yegolide layo eliyi-18 carat rose).
Ezithandweni ezinkulu, ngaphansi kwelangabi elivuthayo, izinsimbi zazincibilika futhi zixutshwe, lapho-ke base benza amakesi ewashi namasongo.Njengoba i-Rolex ilawula ukukhiqizwa nokucutshungulwa kwegolide labo, abakwazi ukulawula ngokuqinile hhayi kuphela ikhwalithi kodwa nemininingwane emihle kakhulu.Ngokwazi kwethu, i-Rolex ukuphela kwenkampani yamawashi ekhiqiza igolide layo futhi enesizinda sayo.
Ifilosofi ye-Rolex ibonakala ingokoqobo kakhulu: uma abantu bengenza kangcono, bayekele abantu bakwenze, uma imishini ingenza kangcono, vumela imishini ikwenze.Empeleni kunezizathu ezimbili zokuthi kungani abakhi bamawashi abengeziwe bengayisebenzisi imishini.Okokuqala, imishini iwutshalomali olukhulu, futhi ezimweni eziningi ishibhile ukwenza abantu bakwenze.Okwesibili, abanazo izidingo zokukhiqiza ze-Rolex.Eqinisweni, i-Rolex inenhlanhla yokuba namarobhothi asizayo ezikhungweni zayo lapho kudingeka.
Emgogodleni wobuchwepheshe be-automation ye-Rolex yindlu yokugcina impahla enkulu.Amakholomu amakhulu ezingxenye aphethwe izisebenzi zamarobhothi ezigcina futhi zibuyise amathreyi ezingxenye noma amawashi aphelele.Abenzi bamawashi abadinga izingxenye bamane bafake i-oda ngohlelo futhi izingxenye zilethwe kubo cishe emizuzwini eyi-6-8 ngochungechunge lwezinhlelo zokuthutha.
Uma kukhulunywa ngemisebenzi ephindaphindwayo noma enemininingwane eminingi edinga ukungaguquguquki, izingalo zamarobhothi zingatholakala ezindaweni zokukhiqiza ze-Rolex.Izingxenye eziningi ze-Rolex ekuqaleni zipholishwa ngamarobhothi, kodwa okumangazayo ukuthi nazo zigaywe futhi zipholishwa ngesandla.Iphuzu liwukuthi nakuba ubuchwepheshe besimanje buyingxenye ebalulekile yoMshini Wokukhiqiza i-Rolex, izisetshenziswa zamarobhothi zingasiza emisebenzini engokoqobo yokwenza amawashi abantu…more »
