6. PLANT LOCATION & LAYOUT
Bienne is the very heart of Rolex. It was, of course, up until 2004 a
completely separate company owned by the Borel family of the
Aegler company. It's hard to believe, but true. Now, there isn't a
location that is more Rolex than Bienne, and going inside here is
easily the most exclusive invitation in all of watchmaking. The
contents of this 92,000 square meter facility are, in the world of
watchmaking, essentially priceless. This is the building inside
which everyone dreams of seeing at the foot of the Jura Mountains.

7. The reason that Rolex allows so few people into the Bienne
location is because they have created a truly unique
manufacturing system where they have built machines that
build machines that create unique components exclusive to
Rolex. Rolex blanks of brass, copper, and steel are cut using
proprietary machines unseen anywhere else in Switzerland,
via spark erosion. Baseplates are producedat a rate of about
100 per minute. There are stripping machines where raw
metal is inserted in one end, and out the other end comes
full components with pins already in them.
There are machines in Bienne that are capable of doing the
work of 100 traditional tools in a matter of 50 seconds.
These, dear readers, were not photographed, and I am sure
you understand why. It is also in Bienne that several
components unseen elsewhere in watchmaking are
produced. This includes the Parachrom Hairspring and
Paraflex Shock Absorber – two things that, in the opinion
of many, are at the core of Rolex's superiority.

Rolex rigorously selects the materials for its watches.
Each bridge of the movement, each wheel, each pinion,
each element of the case, bracelet or dial is made of a
material
Stainless Steel 904L stainless steel is commonly used in high-technology
and in the aerospace and chemical industries. Its excellent
anti-corrosion properties are comparable to those of
precious metals. Rolex masters in-house the entire
manufacturing process for its 904L steel watch
components.
GOLD Gold Rolex watches possess a truly captivating radiance, born
of years of experience in perfecting the use of this most
precious of metals. Only by controlling the whole process can
Rolexguarantee apeerless,enchanting lustre on its watchcases
and bracelets alike.
Rolex exclusively uses 18 ct gold, a princely alloy composed of
750‰ (thousandths) of pure gold, plus exactly the right
mixture of elements including silver and copper necessary to
produce the different types of 18 ct gold: yellow, white and
Everose, Rolex's exclusive pink gold alloy. Jealously-guarded
formulas ensure exceptional durability, polishability – and an
extraordinary sheen that lasts for generations.
PRECIOUS STONES Through their unique brilliance and the extreme care taken
in their setting, the high-quality precious stones selected
by Rolex endow gem-set watches with unparalleled
prestige.
CERACHROM Rolex developed and patented the Cerachrom bezel for
specific Professional models to ensure lasting beauty and
functionality even after exposure to the most extreme
conditions. Fashioned from extremely hard ceramic
material, it is virtually impervious to scratches, and its
colour is unaffected by ultraviolet rays of the sun.
