INSIDE TUDOR WATCHES: BIRTH OF THE BRAND

In February 1926, the house of “Veuve de Philippe Hüther”, a horologist, registered the trademark “The Tudor” established in Geneva for Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf. Later, in 1936, the house transferred the brand to Wilsdorf. 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.”, specializing in watch models for both men and women. Rolex would guarantee the technical, aesthetic and functional characteristics, along with the distribution and after-sales service.

LADY GAGA

Lady Gaga is a global fashion icon – mindful of everything she wears. Her fame as a celebrity has evolved it into an art form. She intrinsically understands that each outfit conveys a powerful message and can be an art performance in its own right, where each and every accessory is key to the look. Being bold in attention to detail, Lady Gaga might fashion herself with multiple watches on one wrist. When she wears only one watch, she chooses the Black Bay 36. This automatic timepiece retains the general lines of the Black Bay collection while reducing its proportions, and remains both fashionable and sporty. Lady Gaga wears both the blue dial and the black dial versions of this model.

JAY CHOU

To epitomize Jay Chou’s daring and innovative spirit, TUDOR released a short film in which he daringly drives a sports car on an historical oval racetrack in Montlhéry, France, eventually drifting through time. Inspired by the magical worlds Jay Chou is known to create with his art and with epic ’80s cinematic tales of time traveling, the film ignites the conversation on how iconic images of the past impact today’s creativity in watchmaking, music and other art forms. Chou’s most devoted fans will also recognize an homage to one of his earlier movies, where he portrayed a car enthusiast.
