1. PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY

We are devoted to the classic. But reject the status quo.” 

Born from the will to go beyond the standards, TUDOR’s watchmaking philosophy draws its inspiration from its heritage, while incorporating state-of-the-art technology, exclusive innovations and pioneering creativity. Created by the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, the TUDOR Watch Company was born with a mission to explore new terri-tories, offering “a watch that (his) agents could sell at a more modest price than (his) Rolex watches, and yet could attain (its) standards of dependability”.

The TUDOR of today has not drifted away from the original vision. While strictly adhering to the fundamentals of ex-cellence, the design of a TUDOR watch reinterprets a rich history to create something truly unique – a bold fusion of the original and the contemporary in an unrivalled propo-sition. — A TUDOR watch is born to dare.



TUDOR IS BORN TO DARE

In 2017, TUDOR launched a new campaign with the “Born To Dare” signature which reflects both the history of the brand and what it stands for today. Daring individuals have long chosen TUDOR while achieving the extraordinary on land, ice, in the air and underwater. This signature also refers to the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of TUDOR, who manufactured TUDOR watches to withstand the most extreme conditions, watches made for the most daring lifestyles indeed.

It nally tells of the singular approach TUDOR is known for today, having pioneered now major trends within the watchmaking industry. The TUDOR “Born To Dare” spirit is expressed in a campaign manifesto and supported globally by ambassadors whose life achievements directly result from a daring approach to life. David Beckham is one of them and TUDOR is proud to welcome him to its family.

3. PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY

“Born for a purpose. Field-tested to the extreme.”

A TUDOR watch is built for those who dare to step out of their comfort zone.
It is designed to perform in all and every condition. From a refined evening out to the most extreme environments imaginable.

Over the years, TUDOR watches have been put at test on a daily basis strapped on the wrist of the most daring indi-viduals, on land racing through rough Alpine roads, on ice accompanying the British North Greenland Expedition, in the air issued to the para rescue teams of the US Air Force and underwater with the frogmen of the French Navy. They never deceived them, constantly delivering robust and re-liable time-keeping.

Today, from pure purpose-built tool watches to timeless elegant dress watches, the TUDOR collection perpetuates that spirit of supreme dependability, having every single watch undergo a strict and demanding testing protocol guaranteeing precision, waterproofness and robustness, beyond industry standards. — A TUDOR watch is born to go above and beyond.


DEVOTED TO THE CLASSIC

David Beckham is a multi-faceted man with a taste for ner things. “Especially as an Englishman I think you really appreciate a nice suit and a nice watch. They go very well together” he says. A long-time wristwatch lover, he came to know TUDOR through its sibling brand, Rolex, of which he owns several timepieces. “I was attracted to TUDOR by the attention to detail I could see in their watches. I then learned about the history of the brand. One of adventure, pioneer diving and daring expeditions. I was instantly hooked”.

David Beckham wears the Black Bay S&G, a vintage-inspired steel and gold diver’s watch as well as the Black Bay Chrono, a COSC-certi ed chronograph with column-wheel Manufacture calibre drawing upon TUDOR’s diving and motorsports heritage.

BORN FOR A PURPOSE

As a child, David Beckham had a dream. Whenever asked about what he would want to be later in life he invariably answered “a football player”. This early drive led him to become one of the most acclaimed, loved and successful players in the history of the game. With three major clubs and 115 selections in the English football team, 59 as captain, he le his mark: 6 England Championship titles, 2 Major League Soccer cups, 3/6 one time Champion of Spain and one time UEFA Champion. He might not have been the best scorer, nor the fastest player, but he had a unique style, both precise and spectacular. One of perfect passes, extraordinary kicks and supreme accuracy that proved decisive on the eld. “Bend it like Beckham” says it all about his brand of game. By daring to go all the way, always, David Beckham made his childhood dream a reality.

REINVENTING HIMSELF, CONSTANTLY

David Beckham is one of the hardest-working players in the history of football. Never taking anything for granted, even when injured, or on loan to another team, he trained harder than most.

His philanthropic activities focus on the protection and welfare of children worldwide. A long-time UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and malaria foe, he dedicates his energy and time to the health and education of children in Africa.

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES

Beyond philanthropy and football, David Beckham has worked his way up to the status of much more than a legendary player. Facing the fear of what comes a er a sports career and building on his ambition, he 4/6 established himself as a global style icon. His influence on popular culture transcends the pitch. He is a model and counts hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

LANG & HEYNE – GEORG


LANG & HEYNEGEORG Collection - 2017


Draw the curtain for a LANG & HEYNE 
with edges and corners!

A watch from LANG & HEYNE is more than a timekeeper. It is a statement of the owner, reflecting his or her style and sophistication discreetly, combined with the awareness of owning something special. Also the newest offspring GEORG - which is presented at Baselworld 2017 for the first time - has committed itself to this obligation.

GEORG stands for rehabilitation of lines and edges, demonstrating the beauty of an elegant square case on the wrist. Due to its curved case shape, our Georg gently fits the arm - not only the male one by the way.

The giant sized eccentric second sub dial gives each single second the importance it deserves. Once again, an enamel dial shines with its silky esthetic over the Caliber VIII form movement. And once more, this movement sets new standards in terms of openness and handcraft manufacturing.

The huge, completely visible movement shows its finely finished golden wheels, levers and springs, which we do not want to hide. Made of stainless steel, the avant-garde bridges and cocks with domed top and the large polished stone countersink capture and reflect light in every viewing angle.

Different forms and materials combined with the contrast of polished and matted surfaces give the movement depth and a fascinating geometry. Thus- as watchmakers - we confidently claim ourselves to be architects of beautiful miniaturized mechanics.

As LANG & HEYNE feels connected to Saxon watchmaking and heritage every watch model is named after a prominent ruler of Saxony. GEORG (*27.08.1471 7.4.1539) also called „The Bearded" because after the death of his beloved wife he grew a beard as sign of his love and deep grief.

Not only this quite contemporary extravagance makes him a personality with edges and corners - thus an ideal namesake for the first form watch of the manufacture LANG & HEYNE.
