Been looking at vintage Cyma watches, and found these unusual hands. Out of curiousity, is there a particular name for these types of hands? I've seen them on Tavannes watches too.



Thanks in advance!

 

I call them gorgeous

 

Hypodermic I think.

 

Those are known as CAS hands...

Cool As Shit...

 

I don't know the official answer, but that is exactly the word that sprang to mind for me, too.

 

I’ve heard the term use before I think in reference to Longines. CAS works too!

 

Very close to a style called “Cubist” in DeCarle’s Encyclopaedic Dictionary. The difference being he shows the square on the Cubist hand is open rather than solid. Another similar style is called “Golf”, but the feature on the hand is round rather than square.

 

I call them typical Cyma hands!

 

My vote to Cyma hands.
They look really nice!

 

I don't know what you call them, but I really like them!

 

Take your pick.

 

Resemble hands from Deco pocketwatches. Very nice.
How bout”compass” hands

 

Can't say I've seen hands like that before, interesting and something to read up on later

 

No. 19 here maybe?

 

Cubist, from DeCarle’s dictionary.

 

I always thought they were sryringe hands. Here’s a picture of a Cyma I had at one point with the same style hands and a similar dial

 

Here's another brand with the same kind of hands. Not mine, so I can't tell you anything about it



Can't remember seeing these hands before and all of a sudden, they seem to come out of hiding...

 

These are known as syringe hands .

 

Thanks for the input guys!

 

Just saw this small Cyma pocket watch with similar hands than the OP.
