Tudor traces its origin to February 1926, when the house of Veuve de Philippe Huther registered the trademark “The TUDOR” for Hans Wilsdorf. The brand’s history page states that Wilsdorf, established in Geneva, acquired the exclusive usage rights. It also records that the trademark was transferred to Hans Wilsdorf on 15 October 1936 and that he created Montres TUDOR S.A. on 6 March 1946.
The site documents early distribution in Australia in 1932. It also states that Tudor has offered mechanical Manufacture Calibres since 2015. Tudor’s METAS page says a large portion of the line-up is Master Chronometer certified and that the certification covers precision, resistance to magnetic fields, waterproofness, and power reserve. The same page states that certified watches are tested for operation in magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss, and that Swiss Made compliance and COSC certification of the movement are prerequisites.
Collections shown on the site include Black Bay, Pelagos, TUDOR Royal, TUDOR Monarch, Ranger, 1926, and Clair de Rose. Within Black Bay, the site lists families such as Black Bay 54, Black Bay 58, Black Bay 68, Black Bay Chrono, Black Bay One, Black Bay GMT, Black Bay Pro, Black Bay Bronze, and Black Bay Ceramic. The Pelagos section includes Pelagos Ultra, Pelagos FXD, Pelagos, and Pelagos 39.
Today, Tudor states that its watch Manufacture is in Le Locle, Switzerland, in Neuchatel Canton. The site says every Tudor watch is assembled and fully tested there, and that the facility was completed in 2021 after three years of construction. It also states that the four-level building totals 5,500 square meters and is physically and visually connected to the neighbouring Kenissi Manufacture, described on the site as Tudor’s movement production facility founded in 2016.
