Up for sale is a Vintage Elgin Art Deco men’s cushion-case manual-wind dress watch featuring a beautifully designed fancy enamel dial and an ornately engraved case. This striking timepiece showcases classic early 20th-century American watchmaking with distinctive styling and elegant detailing throughout.
The watch is running and holding accurate time.
One of the most unique aspects of this watch is its unconventional transitional-style dial layout, where the 12 o’clock position and seconds register are rotated in an offset configuration. This unusual setup, combined with the decorative enamel work and stylized Arabic numerals, gives the watch exceptional character and visual appeal.
The cushion-shaped case is beautifully engraved and complements the Art Deco aesthetic perfectly. The watch is fitted on a brand new high-end black leather strap.
The watch shows signs of use and age consistent with an authentic vintage timepiece. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

► ARCHIVE FILE: ELGIN — BRAND HISTORY
Elgin was founded in 1864 as the National Watch Company, when a group of Chicago investors led by former mayor Benjamin W. Raymond set out to beat Waltham at industrialized watchmaking. They raised the money, persuaded the town of Elgin, Illinois to donate land beside the Fox River, and hired away seven of Waltham's best men to design the machinery. The first movement, a railroad-grade pocket watch named the B.W. Raymond in the mayor's honor, was completed in 1867, and the firm took the name Elgin National Watch Company in 1874.
