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 pocket watch was manufactured in Elgin, Illinois, and was finished in 1900. The watch is powered by Elgin’s in-house 15 jewel Grade 187 movement, which was only produced for a few years between 1898-1900. The movement features 15 jewels, a unique bushing for the center wheel, and a motor 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 brass jewel settings have been restored to their original golden color, and the black, enamel letting was restored by hand. The Elgin dial is porcelain-enamel and in excellent condition. The dial is in the fancy style and features golden inly with a blue circular motif. The watch is cased in a new silver-colored wrist watch conversion case so the watch can be enjoyed on your wrist. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
