The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Antique Elgin pocket watch, 1919.

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement, grade 303, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 21729570 which dates it back to 1919.

The watch measures 46mm wide (point to point). The case is the 10k white gold filled Supreme model from the Illinois Watch Case Company. The case is nicely decorated all the way round, with an Art Deco stripe pattern to the back with a vacant cartouche to the centre. There is some fairly light rubbing to the back of the watch but not too detrimental.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has its original hands, and a subsidiary seconds dial. There are a couple of hairlines running from the centre up towards 12, and a couple of short hairlines at the bottom of the dial but they are all very faint and only just visible to the naked eye.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
