What does the Brand stand for?
Tudor was founded in Geneva in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf. Following the success of Rolex, he wanted to create more affordable timepieces which could still benefit from the reputation of their elders. The brand actually takes its name from the English royal house Tudor and emblazons one of their symbols, the rose.
Seen today as Rolex daughter company, Tudor is still able to stand out and to write its own legacy. Characterized by their daring nature, Tudor’s timepieces are praised for their manufacture movements, high quality, and sweet prices. Adventurous, affordable, and reliable, these watches are the perfect way to start your journey in the world of watchmaking.
If you are looking for the best value for your money, then choose Tudor, and you will never be disappointed.
