Elgin National Watch Co. was in operation from 1864-1968 and was an American pocket watch manufacturer. Manufacturing of Elgin watches took place at their facility in Elgin, Illinois.
This Elgin timepiece was manufactured in Elgin, Illinois, and was finished in 1911. The watch is powered by Elgin’s in-house 19 jewel Grade 193 movement, which was one of Elgin’s higher end movements produced between 1898-1914. The movement features 19 jewels, raise gold jewel settings, and a jeweled moto barrel. The movement has been restored and custom refinished with blue accents. The accents were created by thermally treating each movement part by hand to color the iron based components. The hands of the watch have also bee restored using the same thermal treatment process. The Elgin dial is a Freemasonry dial in exceptional condition. The dial features a guilloche motif at the center and Freemasonry symbols at the hour marks around the dial. The watch is cased in our new stainless steel wrist watch conversion featuring front and back sapphire crystals. This case is designed with adjustable lugs making the watch easy to wind and set. The adjustable lugs also permit a more custom fit for different wrist sizes. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
