Elgin was the largest watch manufacturer in the World, and when this Solid Gold, Elgin, Multicolor Hunter was made, circa 1901 in Elgin, Illinois, they were at their peak. Their popularity was due to the fact that they made a very reliable and accurate timepiece for a reasonable amount of money. This one is a 16 size, box hinge, that was carried traditionally by men as it was the standard size for everyday use.The case is a 14k, solid gold, multi-color, box hinge, beauty that was the pinnacle of solid gold pocket watches. On the solid gold case lids you can see yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and green gold in a fantastic foliate design (on the front cover) and a multi-color bird on the wing in the center of the back lid. With the addition of the multi-color fancy porcelain dial it just doesn't get any better than this! The movement, which is as clean as a whistle, is a 3 finger bridge, 17 jewel, nickel movement, an engineering marvel, that is running perfectly. The Fancy Porcelain Dial is in excellent condition and is a good contrast for the blued steel, spade style hands. Also take note of the bow If you want a pocket watch that is of an era we will never see again, then this could be THE spectacular centerpiece of your collection. Remember all of our timepieces come with our one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence.
