Introduction to the Tudor Watches
Tudor shares a heritage with Rolex as it was founded by Hans Wilsdorf (Rolex's founder) in 1926 as a more accessible alternative without compromising on reliability and dependability that made Rolex famous. The brand is based on the philosophy of creating premium timepieces at more moderate prices with the same Rolex standards of excellence. The signature "Tudor Geneve" on the dials highlights the brand's Swiss heritage and connection to Geneva's watchmaking tradition. After serving enthusiasts, from military personnel to professional divers, Tudor reinvented itself in 2009, introducing a refreshed Heritage collection.
The "Born to Dare" motto is reflected in Tudor's distinctive design language, technical innovations, and choice of brand ambassadors. With celebrities like David Beckham and Lady Gaga, individuals across classes embrace the daring spirit of these watches. Today, Tudor has established itself as a formidable player in the luxury watch market with a clear and distinctive identity.
