Ross Povey (Tudor Collector) on Tudor, Rolex and the rise of gem-set watches
You can’t venture too deep into the waters of vintage Tudor without coming across Ross Povey. His love for the brand that was once seen as Rolex’s ‘little brother’ stemmed from seeing quirky, colourful dials of vintage Tudor chronographs and from there, things escalated quickly. Povey talks to us about the rapid renaissance of the once-forgotten brand, and what they got right at Watches & Wonders 2022. And because Povey refuses to be easily categorised, he also has a deep and abiding love of gem-set Rolex. So we find out how the infamous (and Nick Cage endorsed) leopard print Daytona has evolved from an object of ridicule to cult cool.
