Tudor will be moving out of the Rolex building and will construct their own watch making facilities, jointly, with their new movement making company, all on Rolex property.
So, like Rolex used their in-house movement maker Aegler to provide movements, Tudor will use their in-house movement maker Kenissi, to provide movements going into the future.
Since Tudor is Rolex, you can be sure that there will be a huge Rolex engineering influence in Kenissi movements.

I wonder how that will work with the Rolex non-profit umbrella; seems like it will no longer be under the umbrella.
