O n land, sea and in the air Cyma Watches everyday are proving the superiority of Cymaflex, the shock-proof device that has brought freedom from watch-worry to millions of Cyma wearers the world over ... Behind this unique achievement lies a saga of scientific research, climaxed in the Cyma labora- tories at Le Locle, where a machine was designed to reproduce the concussion your watch suffers in falling from table height... the oblique bang- ing that inflicts the greatest damage on an un- protected balance-staff. Preliminary tests had convinced the engineers thatCym aflex could easily w ithstand hard knocks. So in the first of its final trials the new Cyma, equipped with Cymaflex, was jarred a thousand times — more than would occur in the lifetime of the average wearer —... the movement emer- ged unscathed from this rough handling! Again the Cyma was put to the torture of a thousand shocks. Still no damage 1 Relentlessly the engineers continued the tests ... until the watch had been shaken up two- million times ... the equivalent of i oo bumps a day for more than 5o years. Yet the watch is still in perfect condition... No wonder that since the in- vention of Cymaflex the proverbial risk of a da- m aged balance-staffhas been virtually eliminated! Security is only one of the many reasons why your next watch should be a Cyma. Cyma leads in style and accuracy, too! HO! njinga ya H ercules NJINGA YOPAMBANA KUKONGOLA YA LERO s m ? ' 717?
