{"title":"Bulova Watches","description":"\u003cp\u003eBulova is one of the great unsung names in women's vintage watchmaking. Founded in New York in 1875, the company was designing dedicated women's wristwatches as early as 1917 — years before most competitors took the category seriously. What followed was one of the richest catalogues of ladies' timepieces of the twentieth century: sculptural Art Deco cocktail watches in rolled gold plate, jewelled mechanical movements, and designs that treated the wristwatch as something closer to jewellery than instrument. From the named models of the 1930s and 1940s to the refined dress watches of the 1960s, Bulova's women's pieces combined American confidence with Swiss-grade precision. Our selection focuses on the most distinctive examples from this golden era.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rare-1972-bulova-x-dior-asymmetrical-93146","title":"Vintage Rare 1972 Bulova x Dior Asymmetrical Mechanical Watch","description":"\u003cp\u003eRare 1972 gold-plated Bulova x Christian Dior ladies' dress watch with asymmetric case, round dial and very thin leather strap.
