West End Watch Company History

The West End Watch Company was created in 1886. The West End, a district of the centre of London, inspired its name to Mr. Arnold Charpié who was the Bombay representative of the Alcide Droz & Sons firm, a watch company established at Saint-Imier in Switzerland.

In 1886, introduced The West End Watch Company in the Indian market and developed the first waterproof pocket watch ever produced, “L’Impermeable.” The watch is now displayed at the International Watchmaking Museum of La Chaux-de-Fonds.

In 2005 West End Watch Company celebrated its 120th anniversary of uninterrupted presence in Asia with the introduction of its “Silk Road concept”. This concept came from the fact that the Silk Road crossed most of the regions where the brand possessed, and still possesses, counters.

Nowadays, West End Watch Company is active in Saudi Arabia, in the United Arab Emirates, in the Himalaya Range (in particular in Tibet, Nepal and in Bhutan) and as well as in western half of China.
