Cimier – Vintage Swiss Mechanical Watch – Chrome Plated – Silver Dial – Shockproof – Antimagnetic – 1960-1969

A distinctive vintage Cimier Swiss wristwatch from the 1960s, combining classic mid-century styling with an unusual sculpted chrome-plated case and a clean silver-tone dial.
The dial features applied gold-tone Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o’clock, complemented by faceted hour markers and matching gold-tone hands. A particularly charming detail is the central seconds hand with a red arrow-shaped tip, adding a subtle sporty accent to the otherwise elegant design.
The sculpted bezel, with its geometric triangular details, gives the watch a strong period character and makes it visually more distinctive than a conventional round vintage watch.

Story & Heritage
Cimier is a historic Swiss watch name whose roots date back to the early 20th century. The brand became particularly associated with accessible Swiss mechanical watches, producing a wide variety of distinctive designs during the mid-century period.

This example captures the character of 1960s watch design especially well. Rather than relying on a conventional polished round bezel, the case incorporates pronounced geometric accents that frame the dial and give the watch a more architectural appearance.
The combination of a silver dial, warm gold-tone details, stylized Arabic numerals and the small red accent on the seconds hand creates a watch with considerable vintage personality.

A charming and distinctive Swiss mechanical timepiece for collectors who appreciate authentic mid-century design and manually wound watches with strong period character.
