Thank you for dropping by. I have a sublime offering that is Art Deco through and through. Elgin, one of the prolific early American wrist watch manufacturers. The played a significant role during the early wristwatch era. This is just an example.
This is an incredible survivor from two generations ago. This 1928, one year before ?The Great Depression? hung over the US like a dark angry cloud. This could be labeled a Streamline Moderne offering in 14 karat white gold filled. The case is in remarkable condition for being almost 100 years young.
Elgin ?Model 621? men?s Streamline Moderne design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill, circa 1928.
Let me share with you what makes this such a coveted treasure to own, if you are on my sight, you like vintage watches. With bias I know I offer some of the best in the market today, don?t take my word, read my reviews.
Back to the Elgin, sorry I got lost for a moment. This dial is the crown jewel of this offering. It is called an Incuse Exploding dial, more specifically it is Gold Incuse Exploding Numeral Dial. This dial configuration is very hard to find, I have seen very few available. (Now is your chance, go ahead and make the decision to buy) What a treasure to own, plus, one year before America experienced financial hell!
The watch measures:
3 o?clock to 9 o?clock 27MM
Lug to Lug 34MM
The refinished dial was completed to its original status.
It has a new old stock crystal.
The movement has had a comprehensive service to ensure it runs beautifully.
The 16mm watch band is new, black in color with a polished stainless-steel buckle to match the watch
This time piece is special, the style, the genre, the condition, the dial rarity and think about this. Wrist watches were in their infancy in 1928, arguably they were 10-12 years old when this was manufactured. It is amazing how fast the pocket watch manufacture responded to the appetite of the Americans who wanted wrist watches, not pocket watches.
