We would like to introduce you to an antique pocket watch by ELGIN, an American watch manufacturer founded in 1864.

This is a gold-plated hunter case pocket watch circa 1896.
The front cover has an antique cartouche decoration.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swings well and is moving smoothly and energetically.


We hope this wonderful antique watch will add color to your everyday life!

【condition】
Appearance: ★★★★☆ Beautiful condition with no noticeable scratches or stains Features: ★★★★☆ Maintenance history is unknown, but in good working condition (within 5 minutes difference per day)

・Case: Although there is some wear overall, it has been well maintained and is in beautiful condition.
The mechanism that opens the lid by pressing the crown has a weak spring and requires manual assistance.
・Case engraving: KEYSTONE is engraved inside the case back.
・Dial: There are about 2 hairlines from the center around 12 o'clock.
・Others: The time setting lever is a little recessed and difficult to pull out.

・Power reserve: Checked from full spring to 31 hours

*Please note that the daily difference will vary depending on the posture and winding condition of the mainspring, so please use this as a reference only.
