It uses the Calibre 971: a 15-jewel movement with gold-set ruby bearings, a signed bridge plate, and Cyma's own patented construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced circa 1918-1925 at the height of Cyma's reputation as one of Switzerland's most reliable mid-grade manufacturers, this example houses movement serial 225235 in a 47mm open-face case of nickel silver, its back covered in a crisp engine-turned geometric diamond pattern framed by milgrain and foliate engraving at the bezel, in the Art Deco style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe white enamel dial is signed \"Chronometre \/ Cyma\" and carries elegant gilt italic Arabic numerals with a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o'clock. The outer chapter ring, printed in red, marks the 24-hour scale - an unusual and attractive feature that lends the dial real visual distinction. Gilt sword hands complete the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement winds, sets, and runs well. The case decoration is well-preserved. The dial carries light age spotting consistent with over a century of life, adding honest patina without detracting from legibility. One small dent is present on the caseback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA genuine high-grade Swiss Chronometre from the interwar period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cyma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239751143763,"sku":"PW-0009","price":550.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/3121\/3907\/files\/cyma-nickel-pocket-watch-c1918-front.jpg?v=1783551050","url":"https:\/\/estatecollection.nl\/products\/cyma-chronometre-pocket-watch-red-24-hour-dial-art-deco-nickel-case-c-1918","provider":"The Estate Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
