This became an even more phenomenon when in November 1927, a young English swimmer called Mercedes Gleitze swam across the English channel. Gleitze was wearing a Rolex Oyster. To the surprise of skeptics, the watch remained working perfectly despite bearing the strong sea conditions for over 10 hours.

Iconic Hermes Namesakes, The History Behind Kelly and Birkin Bags March 28, 2021
 

Hello there! Welcome 🙂

 

Today we are sharing a bit about the namesakes’ of Hermes iconic bags.

 

Hermes is the type of brand where just the name exudes luxury. It is not only a fashion accessory but the ultimate status symbol. Of course, the most iconic piece from Hermes will undoubtedly be their Hermes Kelly and Hermes Birkin.

‘The Princess’

In the 1930s, Robert Dumas, son-in-law of Émile Hermès, created the iconic Hermes Kelly. However, the origins of this bag have run further back over 30 years.

 

The first prototype was originally introduced in 1892 as a saddle holder and was formerly known as Haut à courroies. Then in 1923, Émile Hermès and Ettore Bugatti (founder of Bugatti Automobiles) designed the bag for Hermès’s wife Julie. The design was made simple and conventional that not only allowed riders to carry their saddles but also fit them through car doors.

 

Only later in the 1930s, Robert Dumas re-designed the Haut à courroies into a spacious travel bag which he called the Sac à dépêches or also know as Hermes Kelly.

 

The Sac à Dépêches made its name after Grace Kelly was photographed using it to shield her pregnant belly, after having first been introduced to the bag on the set of Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief. After much popularity, the brand decided to rename the bag after the princess in 1956.

Birkin Barf Bag Origins

Created in 1984, the muse behind the Birkin is none other than the Paris-based British actress Jane Birkin. It all began when Jane Birkin met Jean-Louis Dumas, son of Robert Dumas.

 

On a flight from Paris to London in the early 1980s Jane, who had been sitting next to Dumas; was carrying a straw bag that couldn’t hold onto her belongings properly, and everything came down crashing onto her. Jane began to rant about how nicer bags were never big enough to carry belongings. Dumas, motivated by Jane’s and probably many other women’s struggles, created a new and convenient design.

 

The Hermes Birkin began with a sketch Dumas drew on an airplane’s barf bag and has now evolved into the world’s most recognizable bag in the world.

 

However, despite the namesake, Birkin receives no money for lending her name. Although Hermès does give a lump sum each year as a form of royalty for Jane that she then donates to charities of her choice.

Hari ini kami ingin berkongsi beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan jam berjenama mewah dijual pada harga yang tinggi. Seperti yang kita ketahui, jam tangan berjenama seperti Rolex, Omega dan Patek Phillipe mempunyai harga yang tinggi. Ia bukan sahaja di jual pada harga yang tinggi, tetapi sesetengah model juga mempunyai nilai yang tinggi apabila dijual semula.

Jika kita lihat daripada setiap bahagian jam, seperti bezel ataupun dial itu sendiri, sekiranya ianya diperbuat daripada bahan yang berkualiti harga sesetengah produk akan menjadi lebih tinggi. Bahan berkualiti ini juga dijadikan tanda aras bagi harga produk tersebut. Sekiranya terdapat bahagian tertentu yang diperbuat daripada berlian atau emas, nilai harganya akan menjadi semakin tinggi.

Walau bagaimanapun, produk yang berkualiti tinggi juga dapat meningkatkan ketahanan jam tersebut. Namun tidak hairanla sekiranya sesetengah daripada kita sanggup untuk mengeluarkan puluhan dan ratusan ribu untuk jam yang dapat bertahan selama berpuluh tahun.

Memerlukan penyelidikan bertahun-tahun untuk menambah baik tahap kualiti pergerakan jam

Jam tangan mewah seperti Frank Muller, Rolex dan Cartier sangat terkenal dengan pergerakan/ engin jam mereka. mereka sentiasa berinovasi untuk menghasilkan jam yang lebih rumit pergerakan/ enjinnya, lebih nipis dan lebih jitu. Semua hasil inovasi ini tidak mudah dan setiap penyelidikan mememerlukan masa selama bertahun-tahun untuk menghasilkan hasil karya yang memberikan impak besar kepada jenama secara globalisasi.

Kuantiti yang terhad di dalam pasaran

Kebanyakkan barangan berjenama ini mempunyai kuantiti yang sangat terhad di dalam pasaran. Ini adalah kerana penghasilan sesuatu produk itu hanya tertempu kepada kelompok kumpulan elite yang berkemampuan untuk memilikinya.

Rolex’s Little Sister, Tudor Watch | Branded Watch Cash Buyer KL March 10, 2021

“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.”

– H. Wilsdorf




It Wasn’t Hans

 

In 1926, the house of “Veuve de Philippe Hüther”, a watch dealer, registered the trademark “The Tudor” for Hans Wilsdorf (also the founder of Rolex). He had only acquired the exclusive usage rights to Tudor.

Rolex’s Little Sister

Tudor is the sister brand of Rolex.

Hans Wilsdorf’s aim of the Tudor brand was to offer more affordable watches whilst preserving the Rolex reputation for quality.

And selling them in the market at a relatively economical price, attracting the majority of watch lovers.

Specializing in the production of luxury watches of similar quality to Rolex but at a lower price.

Early Tudor watches had the Rolex crown logo, shared Rolex parts, and even used Rolex movements.

 

On some Tudor pieces from this time, the name Rolex can also be found on it. The reason for this is that Rolex has already established itself quite well on the market, and therefore, Tudor could leverage the Rolex name to gain trust and leverage.

However, the later Tudor watches no longer have the crown logo, and switched to the movement produced by ETA under the Swiss Swatch.

In 2015, started to use the self-produced Tudor movement.

The Rose of Tudor Dynasty

Tudor old logo

In 1936 the brand was fully transferred from the house of “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” to Hans Wilsdorf.

This had resulted in the design of the rose of the TUDOR dynasty. Inscribed within a shield, this logo symbolized the invincible union of strength – the watch’s robustness – with grace – the beauty of its lines.

 

In 1946, Wilsdorf established ”Montres Tudor S.A. Company”. He wanted to expand the brand and start to establish it so that it could stand on its own legs without leaning on Rolex.

Ladies Included

Ever since the beginning, the company specialized in models for both men and women. So it came to no surprise that the Clair de Rose collection for women became one of the best selling models for ladies when they released in 2011.

In recent years, Tudor watches have become more and more individual, so the number of Tudor fans has gradually increased. Bold yet graceful designs, and affordable prices, Tudor certainly does not live in the shadow of ‘her big sister’ anymore.
