Vintage Men's Elgin Pocket Watches

In this section, you will find a nice selection of vintage Elgin (or the earlier National Watch Co.) pocket watches that are typically considered gent's size, although in many cases would also be appropriate for a woman to carry. The Elgin watch company, out of Elgin, Illinois, was in business from 1864-1964, and while active, was the largest-producing American watch company, manufacturing an estimated half of all pocket watches ("dollar" watches not included).

As an additional resource, we've posted a Serial Number Production List which includes information for Elgin serial numbers and dates of manufacture.

The NAWCC also has a comprehensive article about the company; additional information may also be found on Wikipedia.

For further information, examples, photos, and notes on how to wear our various styles of watches and watch accessories, please visit our How-To-Wear Guide.
