1950s IWC With Bombé Lugs

Why This Watch Matters Fear not, this beauty from the 1950s isn’t as small as you might think. The bombé lugs on this 36 mm IWC make this watch incredibly chic and appear bigger on the wrist. The Full Story The 1950s were known for their dress watches, and IWC was in the thick of this trend with this yellow-gold, time-only dress watch. The thin case and elongated bombé (curved) lugs create the illusion of a larger size even though this watch measures only 36 mm, already above the standard for the time. Additionally, this watch features the fantastic caliber 89 movement. You don’t get much better than this.
