Vintage West End Watch Co. “Aftab” Porcelain Dial Pocket Watch
Sold
As West End Watch Co. expanded across the Indian subcontinent, it became one of the most trusted watchmakers for the everyday consumer. To strengthen its connection with the region, the company began giving select models vernacular names. The Aftab, meaning "sun" or "sunshine," derives from Farsi but became widely used across Hindustani and the broader Persian cultural sphere, including India, Pakistan, Iran, and neighboring regions.
This West End Watch Co. Aftab is a porcelain-dial pocket watch with a beautifully aged case that has developed a soft silver patina through decades of use. The crisp porcelain dial features bold black Latin numerals for the primary hours and a secondary 24-hour scale in red. Just below 12 o'clock, "West End Watch Co." appears in elegant serif lettering, while "Aftab" is printed beneath in red, reflecting the sun-inspired meaning of its name
