MOVADO 14K YELLOW GOLD AUTOMATIC BUMPER WATCH — CIRCA 1954
A beautifully preserved example of mid-century Movado design, this elegant 1954 automatic wristwatch combines warm 14K yellow gold with the refined texture of a Clous de Paris guilloché dial.
The 34.5 mm French-made gold case has a graceful, understated profile, framed by a smooth bezel and complemented by a classic subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. Gold-tone hour markers and hands provide a subtle contrast against the richly textured dial, while the black leather alligator-print strap completes the watch with a timeless dress-watch character.
Inside, the watch is powered by a fully jeweled automatic bumper-style movement, an intriguing piece of mechanical history from the early era of self-winding wristwatches.
Adding an especially personal touch, the case back is engraved “H.J.T. 1954,” suggesting this watch was presented or cherished as a meaningful gift or keepsake in the year it was made.
Professionally restored and ready to wear, this Movado offers the appeal of an authentic 1950s timepiece with the elegance and character that only a vintage watch can provide.
