Heres what i have found on your watch...
Cyma , was a company owned and supplied my Henri Sandoz watch group. Sister companies included Tavannes , Bijou , Tacy, and Lisca. Sandoz watch movements were the movement to put into your swiss watch back then.
I was wrong about the watch likely being a 15 jewel. Though not by much, as Early Sandoz models used 6-7 jewel watch movements, very much like small pocket watch movements. But as Sandoz company did research and development to advance their watches, they increased jewel counts as watches got better
Your watch movement is a very early model Cyma caliber or REF#010. It took forever to research it lol. Basically The less jewels it has , the earlier the watch was made. They Made many different variations to this watch movement. Your watch is a variant with only 6 jewels in it, compared to the standard of 7. Why this is that way, they dont say. Your watch has gold pinion settings in at least 10 places that i can see. They made millions of these movements.
The first designed and produced version of the movement was 1925 in a pocket watch.
Big Luxury brands like Alpina Used this same movement .As did mathey -Tissot company , and Dugena . They were making almost the same movement, but with additions in it , way into the 1950's. They added shock protection after ww2 . So i am fairly certain still that your watch was made in the 1930's. The prices i said are still roughly the same as what i said in the previous post.
I tried to find serial number info, but none was available in any book or online resource i could find.
Here are the stats on the movement.
