Crafted in 1890, this Antique Elgin Pocket Watch is a striking representative of the robust and elegant watches that defined late 19th-century craftsmanship. Featuring a large 18-size open face design, a richly gilt-finished movement, and a classic 15-jewel configuration, this timepiece is both substantial in feel and timeless in appearance. Housed in a heavy nickel case with a thick glass crystal and a beautifully preserved dial, it's a durable yet charming piece ideal for collectors who appreciate the heritage of American horology.
