The name was inspired by the French word cime, meaning summit or the highest point, which, in turn, is derived from the Latin word cyma, meaning a shoot. The brothers were trailblazers right from the outset, focusing much of their work on avant-garde mechanical production techniques. In 1891, Frederic Henri Sandoz, a businessman from Le Locle, created a new watchmaking company «Tavannes» producing both simple and complicated watches, particularly chronographs. A year later, he went into partnership with the Schwob brothers and they founded «Tavannes Watch Co».

Only from that time CYMA was pushed into the market. Soon Henri Sandoz and his partners opened markets around the world, notably in Canada, Russia, United States and the Far East.
