Gents 1932 Cyma Wrist Watch

Gents 1932 Cyma wrist watch.

The watch has a signed Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 30mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for London 1932 with the mark for Schwob Freres & Co, founders of Cyma.

It also has the mark for George Stockwell. From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.

The case has the odd small mark, and a hint of unevenness to the back, but overall it is in good condition for such an early piece.

The lens has a couple of short faint marks but not too noticeable to the naked eye.

The dial is in its original textured finish with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a shade of darkening to the dial.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box
