Description

Folks we are pleased to offer for your consideration this antique Elgin Hunter Case Pocket Watch circa 1906. The gentlemen’s dress pocket watch of the day was a symbol of prestige and status and manufactured to the highest of standards. This is a size 18 and measures 2 1/4  inches in diameter, a hefty pocket watch. These Hunter Case Pocket Watches are getting harder to locate such fine condition, the gold and gold fill cases are a soft metal, and most not survived. This 14k Gold fill hunter case is in excellent condition with engraving very crisp and with no personal monogram on the cartouche, yet. We have a wonderful configuration with this pristine Hunter Case, Elgin 17 Jewel Movement, pristine porcelain dial with the classic Roman numerals and highlighted with these ornate heat-treated blued Steel hands. I so hope the many pictures and magnification help in the description of this fine Elgin Pocket Watch.

This Elgin is faced with a beautiful  porcelain dial. This dial has the classic Roman numerals and is in excellent condition and shows beautifully. These fine dials are ornately crafted, and this is a wonderful example. These dials were crafted using two Copper plates soldered together and then baked with many layers of Silica giving that deep glass like finish. This is also why it is so difficult to find these delicate dials in such fine condition. This fine dial is highlighted with the original heat-treated Blued Steel Hands in excellent condition. This classic Elgin Hunter Case Pocket Watch is in excellent condition and would make a wonderful addition to any collection. 

We have a high grade Elgin 225 Movement without reckless jewelers tool marks or corrosion. This model 4 is stem wind and lever set. The movement is referred to as a full plate movement with antique demaking on the Nickel Silver plates. We also have a Moseley regulator, gold balance weights, screw gold cup settings, with a Gold center wheel and Steel escapement all designed for accuracy and dependability. The fine movement is housed in this original 14K Gold Fill Hunter Case. This is a wonderful Hunter Case with the popular coin edge design and engine turned detail pattern. This fine antique Elgin Pocket Watch has just been serviced and is an excellent timekeeper as designed.

This is another excellent example of the late 19th early 20th Century ingenuity that made the American pocket watch a worldwide standard for beauty and accuracy in timekeeping.
