Hi, it's Meg from SwissWatchExpo and this morning I'm going to show you
the brand and the watches that I think are perhaps one of the
best values that we have to offer you here at SwissWatchExpo[Music]
hi it's Meg again from SwissWatchExpo you know I love showing you Patek Philippe, JLC, AP, Rolex
and they're all extraordinary watches fortunately we have a lot of them here at SwissWatchExpo to
sell you and show you but today I'm going to go a little bit different direction I actually am
going to show you what I think is perhaps one of the best value watches that we carry I love them
and I think they're extraordinary and they're a lot of fun today I'm going to show you Tudor you
may be familiar with them you may have heard about them they're Rolex's fun little brother watch and
they truly are they were actually introduced in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf he's the founder of Rolex
he wanted to introduce a secondary line that was more affordable less expensive than Rolex
but still carried a lot of the same quality and of course they're brothers so they look a little bit
alike as well so I actually had the privilege of working with an AD in 2013 which is important as
that is when they were reintroduced in the U.S they were first introduced and fat and created
in 1926. so they've been around for more almost 100 years now and they're really extraordinary
timepiece a couple of things other than being more affordable that Hans Wilsdorf thought was
very important is and which was lended a lot of credibility of course it's a it's in the house of
Rolex but in that time it was very extraordinary it's not something even now there's really no
other watch company that's created a line and then created a more affordable line as an introductory
so I think again he was very groundbreaking in his efforts and his successful attempts to do so what
I'm showing you today are the two Tudors and I'm going to show them to you up close in The Tudor
black Bay which is their sports models I'm going to show them to you up close in just a minute
but what they're known for of course is they're they do look similar to Rolex they you'll notice
that they are recognizable but like most little brothers I think the big brother and the family
Rolex is always very serious great product but Tudor little brother they have a little bit more
fun with the watch they're a little more playful they are a little more as far as what they do with
color combinations and that's what I really want you to see today they were well known in the early
1900s for supplying watches for the U.S Navy go Navy my son's in the Navy so I had to give him
a plug but also for the French Marine so the very dependable incredible watches and they did borrow
the Oyster case from Rolex which is what gives them that durability and their water resistance
in the 1950s the Prince was introduced which is in the Submariner was introduced for Tudor so
they've been around again in their sports models for quite some time this snowflake hands which
is something you'll hear the term people are looking for is a very unique very specific hand
and dial on the Tudor watches as well so they've really already created quite a name for themselves
they were pulled out of the U.S market in early 2000. they really wanted to kind of pull back
they redesigned their line they've really created some extraordinary timepieces and when they were
introduced brought back again to the U.S market in 2013 it was very fun to be a part of it and again
I've just always been a big fan of them one of the things I love about them is every day we talk
to clients who are looking to spend three to five thousand dollars on a watch that's a lot of money
it doesn't get you a very big Rolex but it's a lot of money so I always want to make a
suggestion to the clients if you're looking for perhaps a vintage smaller timepiece then you're
a big sporty guy and you feel like it might be a little too small I want you to consider the tutors
they're extraordinary they're a bigger case size and they're beautiful so here's just a couple I'm
going to show you these are all the Tudor Black Bay the Black Bay watches are their sports model
they do have sort of that vintage style to them and yes they look like the submariners that's on
purpose they're supposed to this one is I love it it's this beautiful blue dial white hands white
hour indices stainless steel really striking similarly fun little color variation here more
of a maroon dial maroon bezel black dial so again same watch just different color plays and that's
what I think is so much fun about them is the fact that you can get really something that's a
little bit different in style and look and design this one's gorgeous this is actually a bronze
case bracelet beautiful brown bezel brown dial so again something that's a little more
playful a little bit more unique but still very beautiful and the final one I want to show you
to me this just kind of looks like the very classic vintage style love it on the nylon strap
blue bezel blue dial nylon strap stunning so just these are four we have quite a few of them
actually to show you you can see that they're all very nice 40 millimeter sizes really extraordinary
so you can get a much more current look with respect to the size of and the millimeter size of
the case extraordinary timepiece they are again a Rolex product with respect to being made in-house
they're actually made in the same facilities as Rolex but they have their own dedicated floor
they all have in-house movements so you really do get the fine quality and the heritage and
the legacy of Rolex but in this Tudor which is a better price point or a lower price point but
they're extraordinary they're a lot of fun so don't want to date with big brother Rolex let's
take out little brother Tudor he's going to be a blast give me a call at SwissWatchExpo.
