Description

Gents 1930s Art Deco Cyma wrist watch

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

The watch measures 25mm wide excluding the winding crown and 33.5mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold plated and it is lovely condition, the line of patterning down each side is a charming feature. The inside of the hinged case back is signed SFC which is for Schwob Frères & Co, who went into partnership with the Tavannes Watch Company to form Cyma.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is signed with the Cyma name, and also with the name of the original retailer, James E Littlewood of Gibraltar. The dial is in its original finish and there is age related marking, as shown in the photos, but so much character with original hands, sunken subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a vintage presentation box.
