19 Jewel Elgin B.W. Raymond from 1911

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 only produced for a few years between 1898-1914. The movement features 19 jewels, a jeweled motor barrel, elegantly raised gold jewel settings, and beautiful damaskeening. The movement has been restored and custom refinished with vibrant blue accents. The accents were created by thermally treating each movement part by hand to color the iron based components and the hands have been restored using the same thermal treatment process. The gold jewel settings have been cleaned to bring out their original golden color, which now glisten in the light. The Elgin dial is porcelain-enamel and in flawless condition with unique numerals we have only ever seen with this example. The watch is cased in a new 44 mm wrist watch conversion case so the watch can be enjoyed on your wrist. The case is only 12 mm thick and features adjustable lugs providing the most compact profile available for a pocket watch conversion. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
