Vintage Yellow Gold Filled Elgin Open Face Pocket Watch

$250.00
Vintage Yellow Gold Filled Elgin Open Face Pocket Watch-
This antique pocket watch is in excellent condition and would be a great gift for any collector. The dial is detailed with black numbers and markers and gold squares marking the five minutes. The second hand is in the inner dial. This would make a lovely wedding gift and can be personalized with an engraving.
The Elgin watch company, founded in 1864, was originally known as the National Watch Company. The idea, for the company, was simple enough, if Massachusetts could build a factory that built watches – Illinois could, too. The idea, for success, was to mass produce high-quality pocket watches using machine-made, interchangeable parts. By today’s standards, this seems like an obvious approach, however, up until about 1850 watches were all made by hand. The company recognized and saw a need for good quality, reliable watches that could be sold and repaired relatively inexpensively using factory made replacement parts. Repaired relatively inexpensive was the key, before this if a watch was damaged replacement parts would need to be manufactured, by hand, to fix the problem. The goal wasn’t to produce the best watches, or the cheapest, but rather to dominate the substantial middle-ground of the watch market, which they did for a number of decades.
