Antique Elgin pocket watch – 14K gold-filled case – 15-jewel movement – early 1900s collectible timepiece.
For sale is an antique Elgin National Watch Co. pocket watch, housed in a beautifully engraved 14K gold-filled case, serial number 9169392, and featuring a fine 15-jewel movement marked Elgin Nat’l Watch Co., U.S.A. with movement serial 15176837. This elegant piece of American craftsmanship dates to approximately 1911, representing the classic style and reliability that made Elgin one of America’s premier watchmakers.
The dial is a standout — featuring delicate gold filigree hands, ornate Arabic numerals, and a two-tone white and light blue enamel face with a sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The dial’s decorative elements and color scheme add to its visual appeal and rarity.
The manual wind movement is decorated with intricate damaskeening and blued screws, displaying the mechanical beauty typical of Elgin’s higher-grade models. The case remains in very good condition, showing gentle wear consistent with age. The watch winds and sets correctly; running condition has not been tested and is sold as-is.
Comparable Elgin 15-jewel pocket watches in gold-filled cases typically sell in the $175–$300 range, depending on dial design and functionality.
Given this watch’s decorative two-tone dial and clean, original condition, it is valued around $250.
Offered for sale as-is, this is a beautiful example of early 20th-century American watchmaking — ideal for collectors, display, or restoration.
