Antique Silver Cyma Pocket Watch

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver Cyma pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement, signed twice with the Cyma name, which is working nicely. The movement is also signed Brevets, which refers to patents.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has various indentations. This inner cover has details of the movement, ‘Anti-Magnetic, 15 rubis, Präzisions-Anker, Spiral Breguet, Compensateur’.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver. Originally there would have been rose gold wash highlights but now there are just traces left. There is some unevenness to the back of the watch.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial has one hairline running from the centre to number 1 but it is fairly faint. Other than that the dial is in good condition.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

This Edwardian open-face pocket watch dates from 1910 and belongs to the gentleman's library design style. The object consists of an 800 silver case with traces of rose gold wash highlights, a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial, a clear acrylic lens, and a brass-toned winder bow and crown. The watch also displays a slim minute hand and a thicker hour hand, a small seconds hand inside the lower sub-dial, and minute tick markings around the outer dial edge. The photograph reveals a polished silver metal case finish, an upright onion-shaped winding crown with ribbed fluting, and a rounded loop handle at the top. Measuring 50 mm in diameter excluding the winding stem and loop, the piece serves as a wearable timepiece or a display accessory in a home today.

FAQs

An open-face pocket watch lacks a protective metal cover over the crystal, allowing the dial to be viewed instantly. Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these models featured winding stems positioned at the 12 oclock mark and were widely adopted for official railway and daily personal use.

Traditional Swiss pocket watches were crafted using sterling silver, gold plate, or solid gold cases housing mechanical movements built from brass and steel. The dials were typically constructed from vitreous enamel fused onto a metal plate, paired with blued steel or brass hands.

Authenticity is verified by examining the interior case back for Swiss hallmarks, maker hallmarks, and serial numbers. The mechanical movement will feature maker engravings, jewel count indicators, and precise finishing consistent with historical manufacturing methods.

An antique pocket watch can be integrated into modern decor using a dedicated pocket watch stand, a glass dome cloche, or a suspended shadow box display frame. Placing the display alongside leather-bound books or framed prints creates a refined decorative focal point.

Store the watch in a dry environment away from moisture and strong magnetic fields to protect the internal escapement. Clean the exterior silver case gently with a dry microfibre cloth and have a qualified horologist service the mechanical movement every three to five years.
