Gordon TibblesPhilippe Huther de Colombiere Pocket Watch Connection
Philippe Huther de Colombiere at one time held the patent rights to the name TUDOR which later became a Rolex brand. I recently purchased a 21j adj to 6 poistions, watch which has a "HUTHER" imprint on the movement. I would assume it was Swiss made?
Searching the internet, I came across a P. Huther 17j movement that had previously been sold. However, other than the Tudor reference, was unable to find other mention of a Huther line of watches.
Does anyone know anything about Huther watches, and if connected to the Philippe Huther mentioned in relation to a Rolex brand name?
