What is the relationship between Tudor and Rolex
Many people may have the impression that Tudor was also founded by Mr. Hans willsdorf. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The trademark “the Tudor” was first registered in 1926, not by Mr. Hans, but by a watch dealer named “Veuve de Philippe h ΓΌ ther”.

The first batch of Tudor products were sold to Australia. At that time, the logo on the product was a combination of Tudor letters, but the letter “t” was very long, covering the last four letters. Then in 1936, 10 years after the trademark was registered, the dealer officially transferred Tudor to Mr. Hans because of the bad business. That is to say, in 1936, Tudor began to belong to Mr. Hans, and gradually became a sub brand of Rolex. Many people may think that Mr. Hans picked up a big bargain here.
