INSIDE TUDOR
THE BRAND IS BORN
In February 1926, the watch dealer and manufacturer “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” registered the trademark “The TUDOR.” The company was created in Geneva by Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex. The house sold the brand to Wilsdorf a decade later, in 1936. Hans Wilsdorf knew, after the Second World War, that the time had come to give the brand its own identity. He created “Montres TUDOR S.A.” on March 6, 1946, specializing in styles for both men and women. Rolex, along with the distribution and after-sales operation, will ensure technological, esthetic and practical characteristics.

hans wilsdorf’s intuition
“For some years now, I have been considering the idea of making a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standard of dependability for which Rolex is famous. I decided to form a separate company, with the object of making and marketing this new watch. It is called the TUDOR watch company.”
- H. Wilsdorf
