Paying tribute to City Chain’s 40 years of passion and dedication to timepieces, CYMA has implemented Swiss master craftsmanship to create the Grand Maestro
THE CHESS “City Chain 40th Anniversary” Limited Edition, inspired by chess. Its exquisite and meticulous design is filled with wisdom!

The 43.5mm stainless steel case features round chronograph pushers with a touch of retro flair. The two-tiered curved bezel resembles a chess piece, showcasing a grand, simple yet detailed aesthetic. Beneath the sapphire crystal, the silvery-white, straight-grained dial is accented by rose gold-toned hands and hour markers, all coated with Super-LumiNova. The caseback is specially engraved with the words "In
Celebration of City Chain 40th Anniversary" and the brand's motto, "Onward, as always," reflecting the Time Gallery's commitment to "forward, never stopping."

The watch is equipped with an ETA 7751 automatic mechanical chronograph movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and boasting a 48-hour power reserve. Three subdials in a night sky blue create a rich and harmonious tapestry. At 12 o'clock, a 30-minute counter displays the day and month, while a red-accented hand clearly displays the date. At 9 o'clock, a small second hand and a 24-hour display provide seamless control of two time zones. At 6 o'clock, a 12-hour counter also displays the moon phases, cleverly incorporating the lunar cycle into a dial window. Each move reveals the profound meaning of the chess game, revealing the ingenuity of seizing every opportunity.

Once again, crossing time and boundaries, knowing the time and being wise, in one moment, eternity is created.

One of forty. Made to mark forty years.

The CYMA Grand Maestro "The Chess" 40th Anniversary Limited Edition exists for a single reason: to honour City Chain's four decades of horological commitment in a form that will outlast the occasion. Limited to exactly 40 pieces worldwide — one for each year — this is not a commemorative piece in name only.

It is built around the ETA 7751 — one of the most respected automatic movements ever made. Developed by ETA in Switzerland and found in watches from across the Swiss watch industry, the 7751 is a full-rotor automatic with an integrated chronograph and calendar module that has never needed to be reinvented. 25 jewels. 28,800 vibrations per hour. 48 hours of power reserve. It runs whether you wear it or not.

The dial tells two stories simultaneously. The silver-white vertical hairline main dial provides the canvas — precise, restrained, luminous. The dark blue sub-dials sit against it with deliberate contrast: the chronograph counters, the moonphase, the running seconds, each in their own register. On the caseback, the words "In Celebration of City Chain 40th Anniversary" are engraved alongside the brand's motto: Onward, as always.

On the dial, the movement reveals itself completely:

  • Chronograph — 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock. Start, stop, reset with the pushers at 2 and 4.
  • Moonphase — the lunar cycle displayed at 6 o'clock, accurate to the astronomical moon within the watch's lifetime.
  • Full calendar — day of week and month at 12 o'clock, central date hand. Everything you need to know at a glance.
  • 24-hour subdial — day/night indicator at 9 o'clock. Useful for travel, better for conversation.
  • Running seconds — small seconds at 9, the heartbeat of the movement made visible.

The 43.5mm case is surgical-grade 316L steel with a screw-down crown and double sealing zones. 10 ATM water resistance. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The steel bracelet wears with the same quiet confidence as the watch itself.

Turn it over. Through the K1 exhibition caseback, the rotor swings across the decorated movement — and the anniversary engraving reminds you exactly what you're holding.

The Grand Maestro "The Chess" is the fullest expression of what 160 years of Swiss watchmaking looks like today.

40 pieces. One authorised retailer in Singapore.
