That Tudor video is terrible

It's definitely skewed towards the younger crowd (I'm 37 and hate it).

Tudor...nice watches, laughable marketing.

You’re definitely in the “old and grumpy” category now.

Tudor aren’t the overly mature and exclusive company like Rolex, so their advertising doesn’t need to be. Deal with it.

Haha, that might be the only time I've ever been called grumpy...a 1st for everything.

Yes the audio is miserable as far as I’m concerned. Love the watches though!

The copy is dreadful and the choice of narrator shows Tudor doesn’t care what 50 y/o Rolex enthusiasts think. Their target age is 29 now! Let’s watch it again...

I’m also 37 and also thought the voice over and style left a lot to be desired. Guess I’m grumpy too, haha.

Right...and that's not necessarily the best marketing strategy for everything (e.g. luxury goods).

it was a great video. Although the last second updates on the other lines felt rushed.

To be clear, this was not a comment on the watches - love the chronos, and I think the 18k Black Bay is lovely (if not a bit overdone by Tudor).

Coming from the guy who's user name is an email address. I don't think you are the customer they are catering too.

Yep, the video narration is less than inspiring. At least that's the consensus on Myspace.

I think it was a bit tongue in cheek.

Sure it was juvenile but I actually found it funny and entertaining. Sometimes watch marketing is so serious...

Looks like they copied Apple videos. But nobody can copy Apple, it feels wrong when they do.

And I completely agree with your opinion, it was not a good advertisement for a luxury good.

I felt that the presentation of the key watches was smooth and detailed. I'm unsure what the issue you have about it is, are you suggesting that you're an ageist?

Robust. Precise. So Chic. Was looking for the vomit emoji, but that must be another forum.

also found it fun and entertaining, as it is fitting with the brand positioning (non luxury brand).
