”Gamla nyheter” fast det verkar inte som att det haft något nyhetsvärde förrän nu.Det här var nyheter för mig!
Tudor, with investors, has started up an international company to produce movements, and to provide movements, to those watch manufacturers that will fall into Swatch/ETA companies decision to stop providing movements to non-Swatch companies.
Tudor's new company is named Kenissi, and has invited investors, like Chanel, who have bought into it to ensure that they, too, will have movements available into the future.
Tudor will be moving out of the Rolex building and will construct their own watch making facilities, jointly, with their new movement making company, all on Rolex property.
So, like Rolex used their in-house movement maker Aegler to provide movements, Tudor will use their in-house movement maker Kenissi, to provide movements going into the future.
Since Tudor is Rolex, you can be sure that there will be a huge Rolex engineering influence in Kenissi movements.
Norqain använder sig av Kenissi, har jag för mig att jag läst någonstans.
Är ju absolut spännande då det låter som Tudor vill promenera bort på egna ben från storebror - något som kommer gå galant!
”Kenissi is a Geneva-based watch movement manufacturer, 20% owned by Chanel and sharing production space with Tudor.
Kenissi was formed in 2016 and is managed by Eric Yvon Pirson (head of Tudor), Jean-Paul Girardin (formerly of Breitling), and Philippe Jacques Dalloz.
In 2018 it was revealed that Kenissi was partnering with Tudor to build a new movement manufacture in Le Locle on land owned by Rolex. The operation would be 50% owned by each partner and is expected to open by 2022.
In January 2019, it was announced that Chanel had taken a 20% ownership stake in Kenissi.”
