Birth of the brand
Inside Tudor
In February 1926, Hans Wilsdorf had the trademark “The Tudor” registered and started making watches bearing that signature on the dial. Just after the Second World War, Hans Wilsdorf knew that the time had come to expand and give the brand a proper identity of its own.
On 6 March 1946, he created “Montres TUDOR S.A.”, specialising in models for both men and women. Rolex would guarantee the technical, aesthetic and functional characteristics, along with the distribution and after-sales service.
Tudor Ambassador
As a child, David Beckham had a dream. Whenever asked
about what he would want to be later in life he invariably answered “a football
player”. This early drive led him to become one of the most acclaimed, loved
and successful players in the history of the game. With three major clubs and
115 selections in the English football team, 59 as captain, he left his mark: 6
England Championship titles, 2 Major League Soccer cups, one time Champion of
Spain and one time UEFA Champion.

Tudor history
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. »
