The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Gents 1920s West End Watch Co Secundus wrist watch.

The watch has a signed hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs so it would suit a slimmer wrist. The case is nickel plated while the case back is steel. There is some marking to the case but overall very acceptable for such an early piece.

The glass lens has small marks across it but again, very acceptable.

The white enamel dial is signed West End Watch Co, Secundus. During the inter-War years, West End Watch Co prospered, and their two high end brands of that period were the Sillidar and the Secundus, both available in wrist and pocket watch form. The company concentrated on supplying the British Empire domestic markets with India taking the largest share.

The dial is in lovely condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch has a vintage leather strap.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
