Up for auction is a massive watchmaker’s estate lot consisting entirely of vintage Cyma Swiss pocket watch components. This high-volume accumulation is a goldmine for professional watch restorers, hobbyists, or horological collectors seeking authentic factory-original components to complete vintage projects.
Please Note: All items in this lot are being sold strictly as-is for parts, salvage, scrap, or repair. None of these movements are guaranteed to be functional or complete.
Caliber Diversity: A vast assortment of authentic mechanical, manual-wind Cyma ebauches and pocket watch mechanisms.
Technical Details: The lot contains highly desirable vintage Swiss bridge configurations, including movements marked "REF. 971" and "BREV. S.G.D.G." (the historic patent marking).
Varying Finishes: Includes classic frosted gilt plates, nickel-plated bridges, and standard steel finishes—many retaining original gear trains, winding wheels, and balance wheels.
Brand Markings: The majority of the dials are signed "CYMA" or "CYMA SUISSE".
Styles & Configurations: Features a rich variety of designs including crisp white porcelain enamel dials with bold Roman numerals, military/art-deco stylized Arabic numeral tracks, and distinct subsidiary seconds tracks at the 6 o'clock position.
Specialty Dial: Includes a rare vintage medical/scientific variation featuring an outer red track graduation.
Housings: Includes empty antique pocket watch case frames with original bows and crowns.
Crystals & Bezels: Includes intact glass crystal assemblies and engine-turned (guilloché style) inner dust covers and case backs. One case interior is explicitly stamped "PURE NICKEL".
Mechanical Status: NON-RUNNING / UNTESTED. These are salvage materials sourced directly from an old workshop inventory. Expect missing screws, broken balance staffs, aged springs, or missing jewels.
Cosmetic Status: Dials show varying degrees of authentic antique character, including hairline fractures, edge chipping, and natural tropical patina/fading. Movements show light oxidation, surface dust, or faint storage scratches.
Shipping & Handling Details: Due to the high number of loose components, this lot will be meticulously sorted and packed using heavy-duty padding, secure plastic organizing compartments, and bubble wrap. We guarantee safe transit directly to your workbench.
