Westclox

Westclox
Westclox had a factory in Dumbarton, Scotland, where this alarm clock was probably made. The business failed to thrive when Quartz clock technology was introduced and the factory closed in 1988.
Nikon D2Xs and Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus AIS lens. 100 ISO.
There are many different 28mm Vivitar-branded lenses in a wide choice of camera mounts. Vivitar never made its own lenses - the company drew up specifications and invited lens manufacturers to bid for the work. This particular lens has a serial number beginning with '28' and from that it is possible to trace its maker to Komine. In the world of third-party lenses this one had a good reputation and a bit of a cult following. Some users likened it to the quality level of a Vivitar series 1 lens. I thought it was quite decent but on the whole I preferred a Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 even though it was slower.
