This vintage Westclox automatic is a sharp and highly wearable example of mid century Swiss powered American market watchmaking, combining clean design with dependable mechanics. Housed in a stainless steel case, it offers a strong and versatile presence on the wrist while remaining slim and elegant enough for everyday or dress wear.
The dial features applied stick indices that catch the light beautifully and give the watch a crisp modernist look. A smooth sweeping seconds hand adds constant motion across the dial, enhancing both readability and visual interest. The overall layout is refined, balanced, and timeless, exactly what makes these pieces so appealing decades later.

It runs well by vintage standards and offers the satisfying mechanical charm collectors appreciate in true mid century automatics.
Westclox traces its roots back to 1884 as the Western Clock Manufacturing Company in Illinois and became one of the most important names in American horology. Famous for bringing reliable timekeeping into millions of homes, Westclox later expanded into wristwatches by pairing Swiss movements with American branding and distribution, creating watches that delivered exceptional value and dependability.
This M102 automatic captures that spirit perfectly. A steel case, applied indices, sweeping seconds, and a fully jeweled Swiss automatic movement make it a classic, affordable, and highly wearable piece of vintage watch history that is full of character and ready to enjoy.
