The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Large antique Elgin pocket watch & chain, 1909.

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement grade 288 which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed, and the serial number 13640390 which dates it back to 1909.

The watch measures 58mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop so slightly larger than a standard 50mm pocket watch. The case is Silverode an alloy used in watch cases around this time. Watch case makers had various names for the metal such as Silverore and Silveroid. This is a good quality case with screw-on bezel and case back. Overall the case is in good condition, just minor marking from use.

The glass lens is in nice condition.

The signed dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. The dial is in nice condition.

The watch comes on a vintage nickel watch chain which measures 27cm including the T bar and clasp

The watch & chain come in a new presentation box.
