Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Elgin men’s manual wind dress watch featuring a stunning Art Deco cushion case, ornate fancy enamel dial, and 15 jewel movement. Originally retailed by Jos. M. Ebeling of St. Louis, this watch represents a fascinating piece of American horological history. During the early 20th century, jewelers commonly had their names printed on the dial while using high-quality movements manufactured by Elgin, making these private-label examples especially desirable to collectors. The elegant Roman numeral dial, decorative gold detailing, and classic cushion-shaped case give this watch exceptional period charm.

The watch is in full working condition and is running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period. It was professionally serviced in January 2026 and is fitted with a quality aftermarket black leather strap.

The watch retains its original porcelain enamel dial, which displays natural age-related spidering. This is not a crack or damage that affects the integrity of the dial, but rather a common characteristic of antique enamel dials that adds vintage character and authenticity. The watch is in good physical condition overall with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its overall appearance and physical condition.
