Antique Silver Elgin Pocket Watch and Chain

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver Elgin pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement, grade 311, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 16,177,482 which dates it back to 1912.

The watch measures 46.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 925 sterling silver and there are marks inside the screw-on case back for the Keystone Watch Company. The case is in good condition and has nice crisp engine turned detail to the back, with a vacant cartouche to the centre.

The acrylic lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial looks lovely to the naked eye… through a jeweller’s loupe, there is a short very faint hairline next to the sub seconds dial. Red outer five minute markers.

The watch comes with a single silver chain, 24cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Hallmarked for 1910.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Silver Elgin Pocket Watch to the 1910s.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Founded in 1864 in Illinois, the Elgin National Watch Company became one of the foremost American manufacturers of mechanical timepieces. Open-face pocket watches were designed without a protective metal cover over the crystal, allowing quick time checks and gaining widespread popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Antique pocket watches typically feature cases crafted from sterling silver, nickel alloy, or gold plate, housing a glass crystal over a fired enamel dial. Movements consist of precision brass plates, steel gears, and synthetic ruby jewels, often paired with silver curb chains and T-bar attachments for securing to a waistcoat.

Authentic pieces feature the manufacturers name clearly printed on the enamel dial or engraved on the internal movement mechanism. True authenticity can be confirmed by inspecting serial numbers stamped on the movement casing, which cross-reference to specific production dates in historical company records.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed under a glass dome stand or suspended on a dedicated pocket watch holder placed on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece. It can also be framed within a shadow box along with its chain to serve as framed horological art.

Keep the timepiece stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage to the delicate internal movement. Silver cases should be gently buffed with a microfibre cloth to control oxidisation, and mechanical movements ought to be serviced periodically by a specialist watchmaker.
