100% Custom Made. One of a Kind !!
This timepiece is an Elgin "Marriage Watch," a custom creation where a vintage American pocket watch movement—specifically from the Elgin National Watch Company—has been expertly rehoused into a modern wristwatch case.
Key Characteristics
Movement:
These conversions often utilize high-quality, 17-jewel or 21-jewel mechanical movements originally manufactured in the early-to-mid 20th century.
Case Style:
The watch features a modern stainless steel "marriage" case, characterized by unique articulated or "swing" lugs that allow a large pocket watch movement to sit comfortably on the wrist.
Dial & Hands:
The silvered dial displays applied golden Arabic numerals and a small seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position, a layout typical of classic pocket watches.
Customization:
Because these are "marriages" of old and new parts, they are often one-of-a-kind or produced in very limited quantities by specialized watchmakers.
Value & Collectibility
Vintage Elgin movements are highly regarded for their historical significance and accessible price points, often ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the specific grade and restoration quality
