This time I´m restoring a Cyma pocket watch. It´s from the preworldwar 2 period and about 100 years old.
It´s powered by the Cyma 777 caliber a handwind movement with 15 rubis and it beats at 18000 bph.

That pocket watch is in a bad condition: The silvercase has tarnished over decades, the glass is broken and the movement isn´t running at all. There is some corrosion on the dial and the hands are dirty and bent.
Unfortunately watches from that age doesn´t have a shockprotection so the balance staff is broken. It was hard to find a new replacementbalance but I was lucky.

I´m cleaning the case by an electrochemical reaction with aluminium and sodawater and polish it afterwards. The glass will be replaced (or maybe I just turned back the time by 100 years?)

After everything is cleaned and polished, I can reassemble the movement with some fresh oil. After some finetuning, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+4 seconds per day) again.

I´ve added some (super)slowmotion and macroscenes let me know in the comments what you think about it.

I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)
