Description

1924 Elgin pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a 17-jewel stem-winding movement, grade 345, which is working nicely. This is a good quality movement with a Moseley patent regulator and screw-set jewels in gold settings. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 26,686,395 which dates it back to 1924.

The watch measures 45mm wide at the widest point. The case is the 10kt white gold filled Defiance model from the Star Watch Case Company. The case is beautifully decorated all around, and it is in good condition with just light surface marking, nothing too serious at all.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in beautiful condition with original blued steel hands and subsidiary seconds dial with matching hand. There are also red minute markers around the perimeter of the dial.

The watch comes with a single chain, 36cm long including the clasps.

The Elgin National Watch Company, founded in Illinois in 1864, was one of the largest American manufacturers of pocket watches, producing millions of reliable timepieces until its closure in the mid-20th century.

Pocket watches from this era typically featured cases made from silver, gold-filled metals, or solid gold, housing intricate brass and steel mechanical movements protected by glass or crystal dials.

Authentic pieces feature a unique serial number engraved on the movement mechanism, which can be cross-referenced with production databases to determine the exact year of manufacture, alongside maker signatures on the dial and inner case.

An antique pocket watch and chain can be displayed elegantly on a desk stand, inside a glass cloche on a bookshelf, or incorporated into a curated tablescape within a study or living room.

To preserve mechanical pocket watches, keep them away from moisture and extreme temperatures, wind them gently at consistent intervals, and have them professionally serviced by a horologist every few years.
