BIO

The Elgin National Watch Company, commonly known as Elgin Watch Company, was a major US watch maker from 1864 to 1968. The company sold watches under the names Elgin, Lord Elgin, and Lady Elgin. For nearly 100 years the company's manufacturing complex in Elgin, Illinois, was the largest site dedicated to watchmaking in the world. During World War II all civilian manufacturing was halted and the company moved into the defense industry, manufacturing military watches, chronometers, fuzes for artillery shells, altimeters and other aircraft instruments and sapphire bearings used for aiming cannons. All US manufacturing was discontinued in 1968 and manufacturing ended.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Art Deco wristwatches typically feature geometric case shapes such as rectangles or barrels, stylized numerals, and streamlined detailing reflective of 1920s and 1930s design principles.

Wristwatches from this period often featured gold-plated, gold-filled, or solid gold cases paired with mechanical hand-wound movements and leather wrist straps.

Authentic timepieces generally display clear brand markings on the dial and internal movement, along with serial numbers stamped inside the case back corresponding to specific manufacture dates.

A rectangular gold dress watch offers a classic accent to modern tailored suits, formal evening wear, or smart casual attire paired with leather accessories.

Mechanical wristwatches require periodic servicing by a specialist horologist every three to five years, while avoiding contact with water, high magnetic fields, and sudden impacts.
