Cyma, derived from the French word 'cime' meaning 'summit' or 'peak', is one of the great names in Swiss watchmaking, with a history stretching back to 1862. Renowned for innovation and quality, particularly for their robust movements, a Cyma timepiece represents a high standard of mechanical excellence.

This handsome, compact clock is a testament to Cyma's mid-century design philosophy: clean, elegant, and focused on legibility. Crucially, it comes complete with its original branded presentation box, which makes this a rare and highly desirable collector's item, perfect for gifting or preserving its heritage.

The Design: Clean Lines and Mid-Century Elegance

This clock embodies the timeless simplicity of post-war design, prioritizing function while maintaining style:

• The Dial: The face features a crisp, legible silvered or pale grey dial with applied, raised gilt Arabic numerals, offering a beautiful three-dimensional effect. The baton hands are also finished in gilt, providing excellent contrast and a refined look. This minimalist aesthetic is perfect for a modern or mid-century desk setting.

• The Case: The clock itself sits in a simple, circular gilt metal drum case, elevated on a small, rectangular base. This design is both stable and visually appealing.

• Functionality: The reverse, visible on the box, shows a classic mechanical movement with the winding keys and levers for setting the time and the all-important alarm function.

Presented in its original Cyma box, this clock is not just a timekeeper; it’s a perfectly preserved piece of Swiss horological history.
