BORN TO DARE
The Tudor “Born To Dare” campaign reflects both the history of the brand and what it stands for today. Daring individuals have long chosen TUDOR while achieving the extraordinary on land, ice, in the air and underwater.
It also refers to the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of TUDOR, who manufactured TUDOR watches to withstand the most extreme conditions, watches made for the most daring lifestyles indeed. “Born To Dare” tells of the singular approach TUDOR is known for today, having pioneered now major trends within the watchmaking industry.
The TUDOR “Born To Dare” spirit is expressed in a campaign manifesto (below and extended version in annex) and supported globally by ambassadors whose life achievements directly result from a daring approach to life. Jay Chou is one of them and Tudor is proud to welcome him to its family.
We are devoted to the classic. But reject the status quo. We keep the best of the past, the best watchmaking practices, the best designs. And push the boundaries of what’s new. Born for a purpose. Field-tested to 2/6 the extreme. For those who are up for anything. Those who face their fears. Those who re-invent themselves every day. A TUDOR is #BornToDare.
PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES
In 2007 Jay Chou founded his own record company, JVR Music, which pioneered cross-cultural fusion of electronic music with Asian pop music. This stable of talents proved repeatedly that his approach as a producer is in perfect tune with the aspiration of the youth in most parts of Asia.
Not only does he write, compose and 3/6 produce music, he is also the director of a large number of music videos, including his own. Recognized in the directing circles, both in Asia and in the USA, as a successful ads director, he fully expresses in those short formats the vibe he feels wamong his fans, the deep and personal inspirations he passes on to the crowds.
