ABOUT TUDOR
BIRTH OF THE BRAND
In February 1926, the house of "Veuve de Philippe Hüther", a watch merchant and manufacturer, registered the trademark "The Tudor" established in Geneva in the name of the founder of Rolez, Hans Wilsdorf. Later, in 1936, the brand was transferred to Wilsdorf. Just after the Second World War, Hans Wilsdorf knew that the time had come to expand and give the brand an identity of its own. On 6 March 1946, he created "Montres TUDOR S.A.", specialising in models for both men and women. Rolez would guarantee the technical, aesthetic and functional characteristics, as well as distribution and after-sales service.
TUDOR HISTORY
Hans Wilsdorf's intuition
For many years I had been considering the idea of creating watches that our distributors could sell at a slightly lower price than our Rolez, but still achieve the same levels of reliability for which Rolez is renowned throughout the world. That is why I decided to found a company specifically dedicated to the manufacture and sale of these new watches. This company is called Montres TUDOR S.A.

WATCHERY
THE ART OF ASSEMBLY
A TUDOR watch lives, vibrates and takes you into the world of micro-precision.
All its technical components have been tested down to the smallest detail. To the point of obsession. Immerse yourself in the movement.
Aesthetics and operation take into account the imperatives for a product dedicated to the most demanding, designed to resist and to enjoy. The eye is guided by the mind and the heart, and time must not affect these precision mechanics.
Exceptional materials, resistance and strength of design make each watch unique.
