Lady's Vintage Gold Toned Elgin Wrist Watch with Mother of Pearl Dial-
This vintage Elgin watch has a great look to it. I love the mother of pearl dial. The gold markers really show well against it and it dresses up the look of the watch. The gold band has a textured diamond cut pattern that really makes it sparkle and the watch has a nice smooth feel to it. It also feels well mad and not light weight and cheap. This watch came into the shop with the original box not included but was well kept.
Elgin was a major American manufacturer. The company was first incorporated in August 1864 as the National Watch Company, in Chicago Illinois. Later that year, the founders managed to convince a number of key personnel from the competing Waltham Watch Company to leave Waltham and join the newly-formed company. The company developed their first movement in 1867 and named it in honor of the company president – B.W. Raymond. In 1874, the National Watch Company officially changed its name to the Elgin National Watch Company.
In 1968, all US manufacturing was discontinued and the rights to the name “Elgin” were sold and subsequently resold multiple times over the years. The rights to the name are currently owned by MZ Berger Inc. Elgin-branded watches produced after 1968 have no connection to the original Elgin Watch Company.
