The West End Watch Co. outlet in Dalhousie Square, Calcutta. From a postcard published by Thacker, Spink & Co. Photograph by Johnston and Hoffmann, (circa 1908.y). Similar presence was found in Calcutta.
Similar West End Watch Co retail outlets were found in abundance across cities in the subcontinent during the late British empire.
Fast forward into time, the business in India was stopped in 1975, when the import of watches from abroad was banned.
