Cyma Chronometre 18 k from 1949 with box !

A very nice Cyma Chronometre 18 K from 1949 original box and crown let’s see !

Gorgeous! It's sad to see one of the then biggest watch brands disappear but it's great to see pieces like this still surviving!

Thanks for showing a very nice watch, with a well-executed caseback inscription. I like to think that Monsieur Aurèle Flury was the same guy still going strong, being congratulated by management ten years later on his forty years of service recorded by “L’Impartial”, a daily paper published in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Their Tuesday, 10 January 1961 edition shows a lot of local news on page 6, and in the Tavannes sub-section we get the following entry:

"Fidélité au travail
La veille de Noël, la Direction de la T. W. Co a tenu a exprimer sa gratitude aux nombreux employés et ouvriers qui en fin 1960 terminaient soit une période de 20 ans de service : Mmes Henriette Gern, Marthe Hermann, Ariette Logocki, Hélène Thiéche et Marguerite Vuilleumier; soit une période de 40 ans de service; Mme Sophie Bandelier, M Aurèle Flury, M.Georges Hauser, Mme Elmire Marti , M. Willy Mercoli et M. Louis Paroz."

If the management appreciated M. Flury to the extent of that beautiful Cyma watch after 30 years, goodness knows what he got after 40!

The watch was sold for € 1140,- today

very decent price!
