Born to Dare The Royal Shop
TUDOR is a Swiss made watch brand, offering mechanical watches with sophisticated style, proven reliability and unique value for money. The origins of TUDOR date back to 1926, when ‘The Tudor’ was first registered as a brand on behalf of the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf. He created the Montres TUDOR SA Company in 1946 to offer watches with the quality and dependability of a Rolex, at a more accessible price point. TUDOR is introducing the Black Bay to world time by adding a new GMT function. Sporting a distinctive, burgundy and blue bezel, this model is also equipped with a new manufacture movement. A new Manufacture Calibre with the reference MT5652 has been developed by TUDOR for the Black Bay GMT model. Its structure has been designed to ensure robustness, longevity and reliability.

“The people in my paintings are all from the area. I make little sketches of them going past and note the places where I can fit them in later, if I cannot do it at the time. Sometimes people were very interested and they’d go round and edge into the picture and then come back to see if I’d put them in.”
