Westclox was an American manufacturer with the plant located in Peru, Illinois. Also, Westclox is a current brand of watches, clocks and alarm clocks.
Westclox began as the United Clock Company of Peru, Illinois on December 5, 1885. It was formed by Charles Stahlberg who headed a group of others from Waterbury, Connecticut. They built clocks based on a new idea from Stahlberg, using his technological innovation. Which involved the use of molded lead alloy movements plates with inset brass bushings as well as lead alloy gear assemblies. Stahlberg patented his innovation in 1885 as well.
In 1887, the company reorganized and became with the new name Western Clock Company. By 1888, it reoganized again and change the name for Western Clock Manufacturing Company.
The firm began producing pocket watches around the turn of the 19th century. Also, they produced small, decorative "handbag watches" which were designed to be carried in a woman's purse. The company was a major manufacturer of dollar watches. By 1920, the company was producing 15,000 watches per day.
In 1908, the firm received a patent for the "Big Ben" alarm clock movement, which has a "bell-black" design, meaning that the bell mechanism is integral to the clock's case. In 1910, The Big Ben was the first alarm clock advertised nationally with ads placed in the Saturday Evening Post. By 1912 the firm shortened its name to Western Clock Company.
Westclox was a modern trademark registered in 1916, but the name had appeared on the back of clocks since around 1909 and watches in about 1911. Westclox was also used by the company for the Big Ben, it first appeared on the back of the alarm clocks in 1910 to 1917, then Westclox name appeared on dials around 1911.
In 1919, Western Clock Co., Ltd., was incorporated. In 1931, the company merged with Seth Thomas Clock Company, both companies became divisions of General Time Corporation. Finally in 1936, Westclox unit became known as Westclox Division of General Time Corporation. Two years later, Westclox introduced to the market its first portable travel alarm clock.
In 1968, the company was acquired by Talley Industries, and in 1988, General Time was bought from Talley Industries by the current management. In 2001, General Time declared bankruptcy ceasing all operations and closing its facilities in U.S.A., and the trademarks Westclox, Big Ben and Spartus were acquired by Salton, Inc. Westclox was sold again in 2007 to NYL Holdings LLC.
"Many a lad received a Westclox watch for a birthday or Christmas gift, (...) they represent a fascinating part of America watch history."

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
