Tudor
You’ve got to wonder what the folks at Tudor make of their company constantly being referred to as “Rolex’s younger brother”, “Rolex’s more affordable sibling” or “Rolex, basically”. On the one hand the two companies were founded by the same person, share the same headquarters and make similar-looking tool watches.
On the other, it’s been decades since Tudor took cases from Rolex watches and put off-the-shelf movements in them, saving money on in-house ones. Since the brand was relaunched in 2009, Tudor has forged ahead with its own reputation, unafraid to experiment with colour and design, while Rolex offers incremental design tweaks here and there. The comparisons must be a bit… annoying?
