Father Time Antiques 

As you may know, Elgin was the largest producer of timepieces in America and they were in business for 100 years, at the factory in Elgin, Illinois. They produced a wonderful line of clocks, pocket watches, and wristwatches many of which are still in use today.  This is not only a testament to their technical prowess but also to their classic styling. This particular gentleman's Elgin is executed in the the "Cushion Case" style that was in vogue in the 1930s. This one is quite elegant, not only because of its silvered dial and stylized gold numerals but also because of the interesting case middle. It is very nicely engraved and provides a nice contrast between the high polish bezel and back.  The Blued Steel Hands are really a nice touch.  The 7 jewel movement is in a gold-filled case with a beautiful silvered dial sporting a seconds bit at the 6 o'clock position, the shape of which mimics the overall "Cushion Case" shape. The case measures 29 mm in width (not including the crown) by 34 mm lug to lug, by 9 mm thick (including the domed crystal). We have fitted it with a black croco band to complete the look.  The watch is in wonderful condition and is a size that can easily be worn by a man or a woman. Our head watchmaker has it running like the day it was made, back in 1932. Our one-year warranty, for parts and labor, will allow you to buy with confidence.
