Another Tudor snippet

"If we look closely, early traces of Tudor and its creations can be found as far back as 1926, the year the brand was registered by the Swiss watchmaking company, Veuve de Phillipe Huther, on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf. In 1936, Wilsdorf took it over himself and went on to found the company Montres Tudor SA in 1946. It was, however, the products and advertising campaigns of the 1950s that really gave the brand its definitive strength and distinctive personality."

Tudor has an interesting history, not cut and dried like Rolex.
