Description

Antique Elgin pocket watch, 1906.

The watch has a 7 jewel stem-winding movement, grade 294, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 12,082,266 which dates it back to 1906… this particular grade was in production from 1904 right up until 1922.

The watch measures 58mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop, so larger than a standard 50mm pocket watch. The case is stamped Silveroid, an alloy often used in watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silverore and Silverine. The case was made for Elgin by the Crescent Watch Case Company.

The case is in lovely condition, especially for such an early piece.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There are a few hairlines but mostly quite faint.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Antique Elgin Pocket Watch to the 1900s.

FAQs

The Elgin National Watch Company, founded in Illinois in 1864, was one of the largest American watch manufacturers, producing millions of reliable, mass-produced yet high-quality mechanical timepieces until its closure in the mid-20th century.

Pocket watches from this era typically featured cases made from silver, gold-filled metals, solid gold, or nickel-silver, housing intricate brass and steel mechanical movements with enamel dials and glass crystals.

The production year of an Elgin pocket watch can be reliably identified by locating the serial number engraved on the inner movement mechanism and cross-referencing it with historical Elgin production year tables.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated pocket watch stand, inside a glass cloche on a mantelpiece, or styled within a shadow box frame alongside other vintage horological artefacts.

Preservation involves keeping the watch away from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations, winding it gently if in working order, and having it professionally serviced by a horologist every few years to maintain the internal mechanism.
