No second hand. It occasionally concerns me, because I can't see it ticking, and I have to listen.

I am wearing my 1935 Waltham wristwatch today and it doesn't show seconds on the dial either. That was fairly common as it was cheaper to make a watch like that during the depression and it was cheaper for the end purchaser too. Mine is a 17 jewel watch so it wasn't the cheapest thing out there. It also has a monogram case.
Your watch may well be from that same era.
