Story & Heritage BWC, short for Buttes Watch Company, is a historic Swiss watchmaking name associated with the village of Buttes in the Swiss Jura region. Founded in 1924, the company became known for producing traditional Swiss wristwatches that combined reliable movements, elegant designs and accessible mechanical craftsmanship. During the mid-20th century, Swiss automatic watches became increasingly popular, offering the convenience of self-winding mechanisms while preserving the precision and tradition of mechanical horology. This BWC Automatic 25 Incabloc reflects that important era of watchmaking development. Its 25-jewel automatic movement represents the mechanical sophistication of traditional Swiss watchmaking, while the Incabloc shock protection system was designed to protect the delicate balance assembly against everyday impacts. The silver-tone dial, applied gold-tone indexes and classic round case embody the restrained elegance of the 1960s, when watches were designed to be both practical instruments and expressions of personal style. The two-tone expansion bracelet further enhances its authentic vintage appeal, recalling a period when flexible metal bracelets were a popular choice for everyday wristwatches. Today, vintage BWC watches offer collectors an opportunity to appreciate the heritage of independent Swiss watchmaking and the mechanical craftsmanship of a bygone era. A refined vintage automatic watch for collectors of BWC, traditional Swiss movements and classic mid-century timepieces. Internal Reference Number - FLO-131
