The Story

Watch Overview

This is a beautifully preserved vintage Elgin pocket watch, dating to circa 1922.

It features a white enamel dial with bold black Arabic numerals with a black minute track, blue steel hands and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock.

It is an open-face manual-wind pocket watch powered by the original Elgin Watch Co. mechanical movement, Grade 288, featuring 7 jewels, size 18s, Model 5, class 106, small-seconds and made in the U.S.A.

The watch is housed in a 53.7mm nickel round case with polished finish and engraved edge, paired with a classic bow and crown — a typical design for the era.

Presented in working condition with a clean movement and well-preserved dial, this piece represents an excellent collectible example of early American horology.
