Then she said “Well who are Kenissi and why does it say they make Tudors’s movements and that it’s a joint venture with Rolex and why does Chanel have a stake?”
So I said “Well look no offence but I spend more time on TRF than most would consider healthy and I’m sure I would have read something about it if it were true”
So anyway here’s a couple of links. Did I miss a discussion? I would have thought this would be a topic of interest....
Keen to know more about this set up

Well in the real world it was not till around 2004 that Rolex bought out there movement manufacturer Aegler as then it was totally owned by the Borer/Aegler family.Although factory now owned by Rolex the movement side manufacturer is still managed by members of the Borer/Aegler family.And this term in-house made in the real world dont mean a lot,as over the years from some manufactures so called in-house movements were quite mediocre to many others, and in-house dont always mean its better,and firms like Seiko and ETA make everything in-house.But even today Rolex dont make everything in-house quite a few things are still out sourced by Rolex, like mainsprings, they are made by Schwab-Feller AG,movement bearing and cap jewels,watch crystals,spring-bars,and a firm called Aiguilles makes all the watch hands for all models.
