1905 Gold Pocket Watch by Elgin
Beautiful foliate motifs, hand-chased textures and a clean porcelain face give this weighty, antique pocket watch by Elgin the kind of rich, dreamy aesthetic only antique jewels can provide!
Denoting great carving skill, each bloom is delicately rendered over an organic, hand-chased background, resulting in a consistent, textural pattern that graces every surface of the pocket watch as it sprouts into a full and lively garden. We adore the way the carvings are set against varying textures, truly bringing this rare timepiece to life! The foliate engravings make way for a signet on the bottom front, ready to be personalized with your initial. Roman numerals add an extraordinary level of class to its porcelain-white face, featuring a sunken sub second dial. Made by respected American watchmaker Elgin in 1905, both its gold case and the mechanism are of the finest quality. Pippin guarantees that all it's watches are sold in working order and will keep good time for one year from purchase date.
Among the most exquisite pocket watches we've had the pleasure of offering, and in incredible condition! Most watches of this age have crazing on the face, inscriptions and dents, but this one, at nearly 130 years old, looks to be in mint condition!
