Cyma, founded in 1862 in Switzerland, became renowned for its precision and elegant dress watches. By the early 20th century, the brand was producing refined timepieces featuring high-quality manual-wind movements and sophisticated designs. During the 1930s and 1940s, Cyma’s dress watches often featured sector dials, Breguet numerals, and Dennison gold cases, particularly for the British market. The post-war era saw the introduction of slim, understated models with mechanical and automatic movements, appealing to professionals and gentlemen alike. Today, vintage Cyma dress watches are prized for their craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics, and historical significance in the world of Swiss horology.

What's on Offer

The epitome of a charming gold dress watch - this vintage Cyma is a stunning example of mid-20th-century craftsmanship, housed in a 9k gold TV-shaped case made by the renowned British case maker Dennison. The case, with its softly curved edges crafted from opulent yellow gold, exudes an elegant yet understated presence, making it a refined dress watch choice.

The dial boasts a beautiful sector-style design, divided into an inner and outer ring that enhances legibility and adds a wonderful depth. The Breguet-style numerals further elevate the vintage appeal, offering a classic and sophisticated look that was popular in high-end watches of the era.

The elaborate blued steel hands contrast nicely against the ecru dial and a sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock offers functionality, emphasising the watch’s traditional layout and precise timekeeping heritage.

This watch is in wonderful vintage condition and wears beautifully on the wrist. A classic gold watch with bags of charisma, a great addition to any collection. 

This watch is offered for sale as seen, as the watches service history is unknown and we are selling it on behalf of a watch collector's family who have asked us to help sell an entire collection. As there are quite a few watches to dispose of, the clients do not wish to spend unnecessary money on servicing each watch before its sold so we have priced the watches to reflect it being sold un-serviced and without a warranty but it can be arranged with our watchmaker at an additional cost if you wish. Once you have made the purchase please add a note when placing it in your basket and we will contact you to discuss this. Once serviced the watch will be given a 12-month warranty.
