History
1. Foundation and Name
Cyma was founded in 1862 in Switzerland by brothers Joseph Schwob and Théodore Schwob, in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
The name "Cyma" comes from the Latin word cyma, meaning "bud/sprout" or "summit," alluding to the idea of top/ascension.
In the early years, only a few pieces were produced per day: around 40 watches made with approximately 55 movements.
2. Expansion and Partnerships
To grow, a partnership was soon formed with Henri Sandoz & Cie / Tavannes Watch Co.: around 1892, Schwob Frères (the Schwob company) allied with Sandoz for expansion.
Cyma began manufacturing on a larger scale and marking watches under its own name, benefiting from the Tavannes and Schwob Frères network and the Swiss industrial vocation.
3. Innovations and Prestige
As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Cyma advertised that its watches were resistant to electricity, magnetism, and temperature variations.
In 1905, the caliber 701 appeared—an extra-thin movement, awarded a chronometer certificate by the Neuchâtel Observatory.
The brand also had "waterproof" and "shockproof" models relatively early on: by around 1915, waterproof cases were already being discussed.
4. Positioning and Recent Collections
Despite the ups and downs, Cyma has remained a Swiss watchmaking brand with over a century of tradition.
In its most recent catalogs, the brand offers lines such as Heritage, Charisma, Imperia, among others seen on the official website.
The motto or slogan used is "The Ultimate Swiss Timepiece".
5. Importance for Collectors
Vintage Cyma models—especially those for gold, warfare or diving—are prized by watch collectors.
The brand's history, its innovations in the 20th century, and its relatively large production make it a significant chapter in Swiss watchmaking.
