How TUDOR’s Manufacture Shapes Its Watches

A Modern Interpretation Of Swiss Watchmaking

TUDOR’s Manufacture represents a relatively new chapter in the brand’s history. It is the first industrial facility fully dedicated to TUDOR in its century-long history, bringing together production, assembly and testing in Le Locle.

For the wearer, much of this work remains invisible. There is no obvious way to see the tolerances of a movement component or the testing a watch has undergone once it is on the wrist. Yet these details form an important part of what makes a mechanical watch dependable over time.

TUDOR’s manufacturing philosophy therefore goes beyond the idea of making watches in Switzerland. It is about building the expertise, technology and production capabilities needed to maintain control over how those watches are made, assembled and tested.

That connection between manufacturing capability and everyday performance is perhaps the most revealing part of the TUDOR story: the quality of a finished watch begins long before it reaches the wrist.
