A remarkable 1941 Cyrus timepiece, which laid the foundation for the brand's esteemed legacy and continued excellence. What started in 1941 paved the way for the high-caliber watches Cyrus is known for today—arguably, they continue to produce some of the finest pieces in the industry.
To put this into context, Rolex, Cartier, Omega, and Breitling belong to the "1st Division" of watchmaking—respected and admired, but Cyrus, along with brands like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, could be considered in the "Championship" tier for their unparalleled craftsmanship and pedigree. This 1941 model, untouched and entirely original, reflects that level of quality and prestige. While it's unclear if crowns were signed back then, this one is flawless, perfectly preserved in every respect.
The watch has been fully serviced and is now ready to wear. The case is in superb condition, with only minimal, barely noticeable loss of nickel/chrome, highlighted through magnified photos for transparency—it's virtually imperceptible. The glass is very good, and the dial remains in pristine order, showing the beautiful patina that adds to its authenticity and historical charm. Every detail is original and authentic, making this a truly stunning timepiece.
It’s not just a watch—it’s a statement. With a significant wrist presence, the strap beautifully complements the watch, drawing attention to its vintage elegance. The accuracy is superb, making this not only a great investment but also a functional, wearable piece of horological history.
