1925 Silver Cyma Pocket Watch with Albert

1925 silver Cyma pocket watch with albert.

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

The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop so a little smaller than a standard pocket watch, it has a nice sleek slim appearance which was typical of the Art Deco period. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Edinburgh (import mark), 1925 with an importer's mark of SFC (Schwob Frères & Co for Pringles, the importers). One of the companies owned by Schwob Frères & Co was Tavannes, who produced watches under the Cyma name, such as the watch we have here. The case has the odd minor mark and a mild bruise to the side but overall is in nice condition.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is in its original finish with original Breguet style hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is some marking to the dial, and some age related darkening, but it is still easy to read the time.

The watch comes with a single albert, 25cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The chain is silver but is not hallmarked as such as it is probably Continental 800 silver. Also included is a 1926 English silver fob with rose gold wash detail.

The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
