Description

Folks we are pleased to offer for your consideration this high grade Elgin Gentlemen’s Dress Pocket Watch Grade 345, 17 Jewel Movement circa 1921. The Elgin Pocket Watch is a size 12 measuring 1¾ inch in diameter and is stem set and stem wound. This Elgin Grade 345 movement is housed in a stunning and highly desired hinged J. Boss Keystone White Gold Filled Case. This is a wonderful example of Elgin’s commitment to manufacturing the finest Gentlemen’s Dress Pocket Watch of the day. The Grade 345 is again beautifully crafted; the Gentlemen’s Dress Pocket Watch of the day was manufactured to the highest of standards. This all-original pristine Elgin Grade 345 is faced with this Elgin white porcelain dial, blued steel hands and housed in this pristine White Gold Fill Keystone Case all making for a beautiful and collectable Elgin Pocket Watch. I have included this Pocket Watch Chain and as always this Display Stand. I so hope the extensive pictures help tell the story of this extra fine Elgin Pocket Watch.

The Elgin Dial on this timepiece is porcelain and made of many layers of baked silica on three metal plates. This gives the dial that rich glass appearance and depth, beautifully done. The classic Elgin Dial has the popular stylized Arabic font beautifully crafted. This dial is a double sunk dial with the raised outer circumference for the Arabic numerals and a recessed center for the Elgin logo. Then we have a recessed sub chapter for the second hand. A stunning Elgin Pocket Watch Dial in very good condition showing only the most minor crazing. This Elgin Pocket Watch shows just beautifully. Again we are pleased to be able to offer such a fine collectable Elgin Pocket Watch for your consideration.

This Elgin Pocket Watch model Grade 345 Movement is again in just pristine condition and housed in this stunning Keystone Hinged Case. This beautifully manufactured Elgin Grade 345 has a high grade 17 jewels movement, adjusted to 3 positions with a high-grade micro regulator, solid gold balance weights, solid gold jewel settings, gold center wheel and train, stem wound and stem set with a steel escapement. This fine configuration makes for a wonderful and collectable antique Elgin Pocket Watch, ready to wear and display with this Display Stand and Pocket Watch Chain we have included. We believe no fine pocket watch should be laid down for the evening, better displayed and appreciated.

This is another excellent example of the late 18th early 19th Century ingenuity that made the American Pocket Watch a worldwide standard for accuracy and beauty in timekeeping.
