Vintage Tissot Antimagnetique Swiss watch, Mechanical Movement from 1950's

This vintage Tissot Antimagnetique is a charming and well-proportioned example of early 20th-century Swiss watchmaking, housed in a 35mm stainless steel case — a generous size for its era, offering excellent wearability by modern standards.

The dial has aged gracefully, developing a warm, even patina that adds character without overwhelming the layout. It features a classic sector-style design, with Arabic numerals at even positions and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, giving it a clean and balanced look.

The Swiss luxury watch company Tissot from Le Locle, Switzerland, was established in 1853 by Charles Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile. Under Charles-Emile’s direction, they manufactured pocket watches with parts from Russia and the United States. In 1915, the company began producing wristwatches. Between 1920 and 1977, Tissot produced its own movements. In 1930 to survive the 1929 crash and economic crisis they entered into an agreement with Omega to form the SSIH Group which 53 years later became the Swatch Group.
