Cyma Watch Co. Tavannes, Swiss, "Time-O-Vox, Cymaflex", Movement No. 1917, Case No. 8 6525, Ref. 224, Cal. R. 464, 34 mm, circa 1965
A rare vintage wristband chronometer with alarm
Case: 18k rose gold, push back. Dial: silvered.
This wristwatch was chronometer-certified in the 1950s, because the combination of chronometer and alarm was regarded as unique at the time. The movement uses the very attractive calibre 464 with 17 jewels and five adjustments.
Leonhard Beitl notes: "This Cyma model is certainly something special and would be the dream of any collector. While the normal Cyma alarm wristwatch is a rarity in itself, this gold model with its distinctive, open-work lugs and chronometer function is even more a treasure to covet."
Lit.: "Alarm am Arm", by Leonhard Beitl, Vienna 2009, p. 134ff.
