Movado Tempo-Matic 'Türler' Signed

There’s something quietly compelling about a watch that marks a turning point. The Movado Tempo-Matic, traces its roots to one of the brand’s most important technical milestones. Movado filed its first patent for an automatic movement in 1942, and by 1945, the Tempo-Matic became the platform that carried the manufacture confidently into the rotor-powered era. This 1960s example is a refined descendant of that innovation — streamlined, modern, and unmistakably Movado. The 35mm x 39mm steel case has a softly squared profile that feels architectural without being severe. The brushed silver dial is pure restraint: crisp black applied 'square' indices, squared-off 'stick' hour and minute hands, a slender, 'triangle' seconds hand, and an outer 1/5th-seconds track that keeps everything feeling precise. A square, faceted date window adds symmetry rather than interruption. Inside beats the automatic Movado Caliber 2552 PC that is reliable, smooth, and historically significant. What elevates this particular piece is the Türler-signed dial, a nod to the prestigious Swiss jeweler and retailer founded in 1883 in Bienne and Zurich. Double-signed watches like this were reserved for important clients and discerning markets, lending an extra layer of provenance and collectability.
