Tudor is manufactured by Rolex for a slightly downscale market.

The way it was explained to me ... Rolex sells Tudor. Tudors have all the outer hardware (oyster case, crown, bracelet, crystal, etc.), but have non-Rolex movements, which allows them to be sold for a lower rate.

Tudor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rolex S.A.
They share the exact same address and manufacturing facilities/grounds.. however, as has been said, they purchase already made movements for installation..
