Vintage Watches

A Briton by choice, the Bavarian-born Hans Wilsdorf founder of Rolex sought after the legal rights of the brand-name "Tudor", in tribute to the ruler of England from 1495 to 1603. But the name had previously been taken by the Geneva jewelry-dealer, Isaac Blumenthal, in December 1906, and the rights had since transferred to other people.
It was only in the early 1940S that Wilsdorf find it unregistered, and "The Tudor" was registered for him as a brand-name. From then "the poor-man's Rolex" has been called Tudor. Actual Rolex movements will be sought in vain in Tudor watches. In the "Tudor Hydronaut" or the "Tudor Prince Date Chronograph", to note only a few of the models with the well known water-proof case, tick meticulously fine-tuned calibers from Eta.
