Westclox Pocket Watch

This is a vintage Westclox pocket watch, characterized by its golden-toned metal casing and classic design. The watch features a white face with clear black Roman numerals for the hours. A sub-dial for the seconds is positioned at the 6 o'clock mark, also with black markings. The minute and hour hands are black and appear to be in a spade or Breguet style. The brand name 'WESTCLOX' is visible below the 12 o'clock position. The crown, used for winding and setting the time, is grooved and located at the 12 o'clock position, with a circular bail attached above it for potential attachment to a chain. The crystal covering the face appears slightly domed, typical for pocket watches of its era. Overall, the watch shows signs of age, with some slight wear and tarnishing visible on the metal casing, consistent with normal use and handling over time. There are no obvious major dents or deep scratches, indicating reasonable care. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced item rather than a high-end luxury piece, but it exhibits functional design and legibility. Given the Westclox brand's history, it likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1940s to 1960s, reflecting a utilitarian yet stylish period for American watches.
