Cyma Pocket Watch

Partially verified

This is an open-face pocket watch attributed by the source to Cyma and dated to the 1930s within a broader range of 1901 to 1949. The white dial is signed 'CYMA' below the 12 o'clock position and features black Arabic hour numerals alongside a peripheral track of red 24-hour markers. Dark hands indicate the time, supplemented by a recessed subsidiary seconds register at the 6 o'clock position. The metallic case is fitted with a fluted winding crown and suspension bow at 12 o'clock.
