Baselworld 2014: Tudor – hands-on with the novelties and some superb vintage pieces

Tudor Heritage Ranger & Black Bay, let´s focus on those two novelties – together with some selected vintage pieces to understand the roots, or just for the pleasure of looking.

This year for the first time, I had the pleasure to attend one of their presentations and even more interesting to meet some of the people behind. To make it short, they are very serious about what they are doing and they did a very good job to work off their history in watchmaking – more on this later.

Philippe-E. Peverelli, Managing Director

Davide Cerrato, Global Creative Director

Those two gentlemen are the main drivers of today, but they are not the only people inside (which I already met yet) with lots of passion for watches and finer things in live. Passion – I like

In the past, the man behind was H. Wilsdorf, which I would like to quote here:

“For some years now, I have been considering the idea of making a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standard of dependability for which Rolex is famous. I decided to form a separate company, with the object of making and marketing this new watch. It is called the Tudor watch company.”

A more modest price, this is something we don´t see very often these days – even when we have seen several brands at Baselworld/SIHH which tried to offer at least one “more modest priced” watch or even collection. Quite a few novelties with more or less strong roots to vintage pieces have been shown in as well. The latter almost felt like a main topic for Baselworld/SIHH 2014 – vintage all around.

Neither the more modest price or the vintage part are new for Tudor and I think it is a strong part of their success, especially these days.

So, let´s (finally) have a look what they had on offer this time.
