Tesco started life in 1919 when Jack Cohen started selling surplus groceries from a stall in the East End of London. Mr Cohen made a profit of £1 from sales of £4 on his first day.
The Tesco brand first appeared five years later in 1924 when he bought a shipment of tea from a Mr T. E Stockwell. The initials and letters were combined to form Tes-co and in 1929 Mr Cohen opened the flagship Tesco store in Burnt Oak, North London.
The brand continued its rise in the 1930s when Mr Cohen built a headquaters and warehouse in North London, and in 1932 Tesco became a private limited company. In 1947 Tesco Stores (Holdings) Ltd floated on the stock exchange with a share price of 25p.

Automatic movements have been seen in both a 34mm case ref. 14661 and 27mm case ref. link 561. The 14661 has a date link window while the 561 doesn't using Piaget's caliber 25P. The smaller link version feels more pure. There are also automatic square Polos ref. 5131 which are even rarer than the round versions.
