In February 1926, the watchmaker and distributor ''Veuve de Philippe Hüther'' filed the trademark ''The TUDOR'' in Geneva for Rolex originator Hans Wilsdorf. Following, the brand was transferred to Wilsdorf in 1936. Hans Wilsdorf saw that the moment had arrived to grow the brand and give it its own individuality shortly after WWII. He founded ''Montres TUDOR S.A.'' on March 6, 1946, specializing in male and female models. Rolex would maintain the mechanical, stylistic, and practical qualities, as well as distribution and after-sales support.
“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.”
A TUDOR timepiece has a life of its own. Pulsates. You'll be absorbed in the realm of micro-precision. Examined. All components' advanced technology is analyzed and examined down to the slightest degree... to the point of obsession. Evaluate the movement. Esthetics and performance fitting for the most arduous of goods, built for both endurance and pleasure. This detailed mechanism is pleasing to the sight and thrilling to the intellect, and it will stand the test of time. Each watch is a one-of-a-kind piece thanks to exceptional materials, durability, and design strength.

TUDOR released a short film in which Jay Chou daringly drives a sports car on a historical oval racetrack in Montlhéry, France, eventually drifting in time to symbolize his daring and imaginative character. Inspired by Jay Chou's fantastical worlds and epic '80s movie tales of time travel, the video stimulates a discussion on how famous images from the past influence today's creativity in watchmaking, music, and other creative forms. Chou's most avid supporters may also notice a reference to one of his previous films, in which he played a car aficionado.
