INSIDE TUDOR
THE BRAND IS BORN
The trademark "The TUDOR" was filed in February 1926 by the watchmaker and retailer "Veuve de Philippe Hüther." Hans Wilsdorf, the man who founded Rolex, had the company created in Geneva. The firm ceded the brand to Wilsdorf a decade later, in 1936. Hans Wilsdorf saw that after the Second World War it was necessary to give the company a distinctive character. Wilsdorf founded "Montres TUDOR S.A." on March 6, 1946, specialized in models for both men and women. Technical, esthetic, and practical qualities, as well as distribution and after-sales support, would all be guaranteed by Rolex.

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
