Tissot Antimagnetique — mid‑1950s bumper automatic
A mid‑1950s Tissot bearing the Antimagnetique script, presented here in a 35 mm stainless steel screw‑back case, exemplifies postwar Swiss everyday watchmaking. The silvered dial, restored with period‑correct techniques, pairs applied Arabic numerals and a railroad sub‑seconds track with gold dauphine hands for an elegant, restrained appearance. At its heart sits the Cal. 31‑1 bumper automatic — a robust early automatic design characteristic of Tissot under the SSIH umbrella. For the modern enthusiast, this watch offers historical mechanical character and wearable proportions rooted in 1950s craftsmanship.
