The Tudor brand was the brainchild of Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf who wished for a separate watch company that retained the durability and dependability of Rolex, but
at a “more modest price”. Established in 1926, the Tudor trademark was obtained by watch retailer “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” for Wilsdorf, and by 1932, the first watches with the Tudor signature were delivered to the Australian market. Though designated as autonomous companies, Rolex guaranteed the technical quality of the watches and as time went on, it became clear that the aesthetic design of Tudor watches would closely mirror that of Rolex.
