A BIT OF TRIVIA

Cyma SA is a Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches, founded by brothers Joseph and Theodore Schwob in 1862. By 1908, Cyma was advertising the resilience of their timepieces when exposed to electricity, magnetism and varying temperatures. The ASUAG holding company which included many Swiss watch brands from its founding in 1932, and acted to protect the industry throughout the coming decades. In 1966, ASUAG created Chronos Holding to manage new acquisitions, including the recently-defunct Cyma-Tavannes brands and a stake in Gruen. Chronos, in turn, created Synchron in 1968 to manage Cyma along with Doxa and Ernest Borel

Throughout the 1970's, the Synchron name was used in public advertisements to support the three brands, Cyma, Doxa, and Ernest Borel. But the quartz crisis of that decade led to the decline of the Swiss watch industry. Cyma was sold to a private investor in 1978 and moved to the Doxa factory in Le Locle. Around 1980, ASUAG sold Synchron and the two remaining brands.

OUR THOUGHTS

This Cyma Conquistador Alarm watch is in fantastic condition, there's just something magical having a mechanical alarm watch on your wrist, a function that we may not use in the modern day, but its wonderful to have, with only a few minor marks to the polished sides, the case is as strong and crisp as the day it left the factory. The indices, minute and hour hands with lume and black inlay are all tied together with the black second hand that sweeps at 21.600BPH. This will be a watch that many haven't seen or even heard of the before, but it has real charm. We have brought it from the past to the present, ready for you to take on into the future.
