Folks we have a very special offering for your consideration, this rare Elgin Railroad Model B.W. Raymond Pocket Watch with the Up/Down Wind Indicator. This is an all-original Elgin 19 jewel Grade 372 Pocket Watch in just excellent condition. This highest of grades 19 Jewel Elgin circa 1913 is truly a rare find with the Up/Down Wind Indicator installed. This B.W. Raymond Pocket Watch reflects Elgin’s commitment to manufacturing the highest of grade pocket watches. The Elgin’s 19 Jewel Lever Set Movement is pristine and highlighted with gold lettering and beautifully ornate antique damasking on the nickel silver movement. This pristine pocket watches has the most desired configurations with the rare Up/Down Wind Indicator, Pristine Railroad Dial, Keystone Railroad Case and pristine Railroad Hands. The Elgin Watch Company manufactured many models of the B.W. Raymond; very few had the Up/ Down Indicator installed making for a very rare and collectable Railroad Grade Pocket Watch. The Up/Down Wind Indicator is the sub register at the 12:00 position on the dial, this tells you how much time you have left on that wind/mainspring as to not accidentally let the pocket watch run out of mainspring and stop timing. The Elgin Watch Company produced very few pocket watches with the Up/Down Wind Indicator; only a few other watch companies took on the challenge of this added function. That puts this antique Elgin B.W. Raymond Pocket Watch in a league with only a few of the very finest Railroad Pocket Watches manufactured by any watchmaker of the day. I so hope the many pictures and extreme magnification helps in the description.

This is an extremely rare dial, actually made of 4 pieces of metal soldiered together then backed with many layers of silica giving the dial that glass/porcelain finish.
