I have an old BWC timepiece.

BWC. Now is that The 'Buttes Watch Company' or the 'British Watch Company?'

Hi Roy,
I just 'Googled' 'BWC watch history' and came up with this one -

Buttes watch company looks like the one!
Best regards
John

Morning John.

I have the same information!

I think the BWC 'British Watch Company' made watch cases. Just wondered if any of our informed members had any further information.

Thanks for replying.

Timely regards.

Roy.
