Antique Cyma pocket watch for J W Benson.
Antique Cyma pocket watch for J W Benson.
The watch has a stem-winding movement, signed Cyma, which is working nicely.
Up until the first World War, Bensons were still manufacturing their own movements in the UK but after their factory at Belle Sauvage Yard was hit during a bombing raid in 1914, they purchased mechanisms from a number of quality movement producers in Switzerland, including Cyma. From a collector’s point of view, both the British and Swiss made J W Benson movements are desirable and comparable in quality.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is a good quality nickel case with screw-on front and back.
The watch glass has minor marking but is very acceptable.
The signed dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, J W Benson of London. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. There are three faint hairlines radiating from the centre.
J W Benson originated in 1847, founded by James William Benson and Samuel Suckley Benson. They were regarded as one of Victorian London’s most prestigious retail jewellers and they also manufactured their own watch movements. The company flourished and proudly boasted an elite client base made up of both British and European royalty and a selection of well heeled industrialists and business figures including the King of Siam, the King of Portugal, the King of Denmark, the Emperor of Japan, the Tsar of Russia and the King of Greece. J W Benson also supplied watches to Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales.
The watch comes in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
