1950s Movado Tempomatic Claw Lugs Bumper Automatic 34mm
Here we have a 1950s Movado Tempomatic featuring a beautifully proportioned 34mm chrome round case distinguished by its striking and rare "claw" (or crab-claw) lugs. The Tempomatic line represents a golden era for Movado, a period when the historic Swiss manufacturer was highly revered for producing intricate, top-tier mechanical timepieces. A relatively slim case thickness of 10mm and a highly wearable lug-to-lug of 41mm deliver a remarkably elegant and comfortable profile on the wrist. At the 3 oâclock position sits a classic push-pull crown. The stepped case architecture frames a smooth bezel holding a crystal above a beautifully aged sector dial. The dial layout is highly expressive, typical of mid-century Movado design. Gold-toned applied Arabic numerals and pips mark the hours. An inner minute track surrounds the classic sword-style hands, anchored by a central seconds hand tipped with a red arrow. Turning the watch over reveals a solid, screw-down case back cleanly engraved with the reference number 36109 and the unique serial number 246356. Inside beats the exceptional Movado Calibre C220M bumper automatic movement. Instead of rotating a full 360 degrees like a modern centre-rotor watch, this vintage "bumper" mechanism relies on an oscillating weight that bounces back and forth between two spring-loaded buffers to wind the watch. This architecture provides a wonderfully tactile, nostalgic sensation on the wrist as the rotor gently rebounds with movement. It comes paired on a well-suited 17mm strap and pin buckle.
