Discover the underrated giant of Swiss watchmaking. Vintage Cyma (Tavannes) watches are celebrated by collectors for offering exceptional quality and in-house engineering. From the battlefields of WWII to the elegant boardrooms of the 1950s, Cyma has always stood for robustness and precision.
Legendary Movements: The Tavannes Connection
Cyma, often producing under the Tavannes Watch Co. name, was a true "Manufacture" – creating their own movements from scratch. They are historically significant for being one of the famous "Dirty Dozen" manufacturers supplying the British Military (WWW) during World War II. At e-v-w.com, we curate the best preserved examples of this rich history.
