Elgin Pocket Watch: Tell Time With Classic Elegance

Posted By: Danny

The Elgin National Watch Company or otherwise known as the Elgin Watch Company has been around since August 1864 and has been producing high quality watches ever since they began. One of their best creations would be pocket watches.

Elgin pocket watches are true classical timepieces that were produced back in the middle of the 19th century during which the Civil Struggle was slowly dying down and when the Industrial Revolution of America was getting started. During that time, Elgin pocket watches have been recognized as symbols of that era. These pocket watches became very popular since they served as one of the forerunners of timepieces that were massively produced because they were no longer crafted manually.

These timepieces reflected the philosophy of the Elgin Company. They were created through the use of mechanized, repeated processes, strict quality control, and standardized and parts that were interchangeable. Elgin pocket watches are considered as one of the most sought antique timepieces today.

Now, let’s take a look at some of your choices if you opt to go for Elgin pocket watches. First would be the #IK6A Elgin Antique Gold Pocket Watch Filled With Diamonds Size 15. This timepiece is made with a yellow gold case that has been lavished with diamonds. The gem stones that have been used for this are of 15 high grade.

The case is plain polished with really elaborate engraved initials on its front cover and has been attached with 3 diamonds on the back. This is a hunter case type. The clock movement for this is a mechanical hand wind and its clock dial is made with white porcelain, which truly looks elegant. In addition to this, the clock dial has Arabic numerals along with five minute markers that show one small light hairline.

Another good option that you can choose to go for if you wish to get yourself both a timepiece and a piece of history would be the #AU14 Elgin Solid Gold Antique Pocket Watch Size 18 With 11 Jewels Key Wind Hunter Case Circa 1884. This is a large Elgin pocket watch that has been manufactured from 18 carats of solid gold. This is a size 18.

This is truly an antique timepiece as to the reason that it is already 124 years old in existence. The clock movement used on this is a mechanical wind gilt. On the other hand, the case is a Green Gold Hunter type that has been lavished with 11 jewels.

So, if you’re looking for a nice pocket watch to put on, Elgin pocket watches should be your number one choice.

Seeking Appraisal or Value Information?

The best resource for getting the value of your pocket watch is at the International Society for Appraisers (ISA). They have a "Find an Appraiser" tool (click here) where you can type in your state, or select the USA (or your country) and see a list of nearby appraisers.

The NAWCC also has a great resource for looking up serial numbers. This is particularly useful for finding out the year of your watch. Click here to check it out.
