Watchlords

Compared to a Yema from the same era in photos below. The photos are not mine, I purloined them off the web.

The Clyda brand was based in Charquemont, in Haut-Doubs. It is equipped with the French Franche Ébauches FE 4611 movement, which, among other things, equipped the first Heuer Monnin 844 as well as the Yema Navygraf and Yema Superman 55.00.16 from the same period:

I like it in a Simca kind of way. Nice.

Not bad but I prefer the Yema. Something about Yema, the typefaces I think, they look pretty much perfect to me.

I agree. Also like it without that goofy screwed down bezel they use.
