summary
What did you think.
As a sister brand of Rolex, I think the fact that it pays homage to the brand's design while offering an affordable price range is what supports its popularity. The MT in the movement name is an abbreviation for Manufacture TUDOR, and I feel that it reflects Tudor's desire for in-house development at its new factory in Le Locle, Switzerland, which just opened in 2023.
Kenissi, which was introduced in the article, is a subsidiary of Tudor that was established in 2016 and is a manufacturer that specializes in automatic movements. Currently, Kenissi shares and develops movements not only for its own company, but also for Chanel, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Norqain, and others, and we look forward to seeing more of their developments in the future. Why not take this opportunity to look for your favorite watch by paying attention to the "movement" that doesn't get much attention?
Once again, we hope this article helps you find your favorite luxury watch.
